Day 5. Official State Visit to Australia

March 18th, 2026

Royal Business Walk & A business conference

King Frederik and Queen Mary attended the Royal Business Walk with companies from delegations of Green Buildings and Renewable Energy along with a number of Australian collaborators. Then followed the official opening of "Partnering for a Green, Secure, and Sustainable Tomorrow".

For their "walk", Mary looked stunning in a black and white outfit. The Carla Zampatti skirt is so simple, yet the detailing are exquisite! Can't wait to see how she is going to style it in the future. At the Royal Business Walk, she paired it with a plain white Jesper Høvring blouse. The golden Rebekka Notkin jewellery are a great choice. Gives a little sparkle to a rather sleek look. Not quite sure I would have chosen python pumps (Gianvito Rossi) with this outfit, but I like the idea of mixing-and-matching. Her exclusive leather handbag is from Anya Hindmarch.

Later on, the royal couple visited Melbourne Children's Campus. They were given an introduction to a research project made in collaboration between Denmark and Australia on stem cells. Researcher's from the project had the opportunity to meet the couple and give insight in their research.

Visit at Headspace South Melbourne

Having visited the Melbourne Children's Campus, she had a quick change of clothes. When visiting Headspace South Melbourne, Mary was then dressed in white trousers, a Harris Wharf London blouse and blue blazer. Nothing bad about blazer but I'd really like to see anything else than blazers. She had worn them A LOT lately. She accessorized the look with cool Georgio Armani sunglasses and suede Gianvito Rossi pumps.

At the grand opening of artists Rhoda Ting and Mikkel Bojesen's art exhibition, we got a clear view of her wearing earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry, her golden Cartier watch and rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. She also flashed bracelets from Dulong Fine Jewelry and Rebekka Notkin.

Return reception: "An Evening in the Garden"

In the evening, the King and Queen hosted a return reception at the Royal Botanical Garden in Melbourne. The evening was hosted under the name "An Evening in the Garden".

The coupled welcomed all the invited guests with smiles, handshakes and a few words. Afterwards, when everyone were seated each of them gave a speech.

Once again, Mary changed outfit to something a bit more evening-appropriate. Her beautiful dress is a reuse from Zimmermann. She wore it, among others, at Count Henrik's confirmation in 2023. She matched the elegant dress with dusty pink Gianvito Rossi pumps and an embellished Serpui Charlotte clutch. Her earrings are custom-made pieces from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. I suspect her new ring may be from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen as well. My guess is that it is a custom-made ring inspired by their snake collection. Let me know what you think.

Day 4. Official State Visit to Australia

March 17th, 2026

Official welcoming at Government House Victoria

Imagine how many countries those Gianvito Rossi heels have walked? To mention just a few: Belgium in 2017, Indonesia in 2019, Norway in 2022, Fiji in 2023, and Nigeria in 2025. Today, the pumps spend a day in Melbourne.

The royal couple was welcomed by Victoria's governor Margaret and Professor Glyn Davis at Government House Victoria. They also enjoyed lunch at the government house with representatives from Danish and Australian businesses.

Apparently, red is a popular color for women to wear in Victoria. The color popped up on trousers, blouses, on the inside of coats, and of course, Mary's stunning dress. It was custom-made by tailor Birgit Hallstein. She styled it with stunning white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and other golden goodies from Rebekka Notkin. We also had the pleasure of her brown leather handbag from Anya Hindmarch.

After lunch, the couple went for a little city walk in Prahran. The area is newly rebuilt with focus on sustainability. King Frederik and Queen Mary were presented to some of the new sustainable houses and projects to come. The Queen also shared their experiences with sustainable solutions when creating the annex at Fredensborg castle.

Visiting Port of Melbourne & Melbourne Cricket Ground

After a quick change to a more casual outfit, the royal couple visited the Port of Melbourne. They were given a guided tour around the facilities and given insight in the harbor's work with green transition and development of sustainable solutions in the maritime sector.

Later on, the King and Queen paid a visit to Melbourne Cricket Ground. They attended the Australian Football League. Queen Mary participated a few exercises herself. The event focuses on a common culture of sports between Denmark and Australia.

Maybe not the most suitable outfit for a real session of Australian football, but way more suited than her bespoke dress. When participating exercises at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Mary looked fine in (new?) wide-legged trousers, a plain white t-shirt and a Max Mara blazer. I do like a good old blazer but I miss outfits without an added blazer. Am I the only one?

Both NIKE sneakers and Gucci sunglasses were a great choice for the event. Her diamond Sophie Bille Brahe earrings and other golden jewellery from Rebekka Notkin are beautiful with the casual look.

Day 3. Official State Visit to Australia

March 16th, 2026

The Australian War Memorial in Canberra

The King and Queen have arrived in Canberra where they first spend their day planting two trees at the Government House. Her new navy blue Carolina Herrera dress wasn't really the best of choices for the occasion planting tress - nor the Gianvito Rossi pumps, but with their next visit in mind, it was perfect. Because later on, the couple visited the Australian War Memorial. 

They paid their respect with a minute in silence and a beautiful wreath to those lost in battle and those fighting out in the world since World War one.

Mary looked really elegant in her new dress and custom-made Katrin Cecilia Jacobsen headpiece. A beautiful piece. The Connaught Sapphire brooch goes back to the year when Crown Prince Christian was christened. Mary received it as a gift from Queen Margrethe on occasion of her first child's birth and christening. It has been worn by Queen Margrethe and Queen Ingrid.

Meeting the Prime Minister

During their day in Canberra, the King and Queen also attended a meeting with the Denmark-Australia Parliamentary Friendship Group. They were given the opportunity to meet a number of members of the parliamentary friendship group. The members represent each their Australian states and territories.

I wanna say that Mary's creamy white/soft pink Max Mara suit was more than appropriate, but I would have liked to see something else. She has become very fond of suits and "hiding" in oversize blazers. I don't see the need of that. Nevertheless, I adore her matching blazer and suede Gianvito Rossi pumps. And the Max Mara leather bag is too a winner.

King Frederik and Queen Mary then attended the official opening of the Danish-Australian Life Science-Conference. It gathered Governments, companies and different research institutions working with innovation, prevention and healthcare solutions.

Dinner with the Prime Minister

It was not part of the officially published plan for the state visit but in the evening the couple attended a dinner hosted by the Prime Minister.

I have only been able to find one photo from the dinner posted by the Prime Minister himself welcoming the royal couple. It shows that Mary dazzled in a reused Etro dress and heeled sandals from Gianvito Rossi. Haven't we seen the earrings before?

Day 2. Official State Visit to Australia

March 15, 2026

Sunset over Uluṟu

The royal couple started their day by visiting Muṯitjulu Waterhole in Uluṟu to watch the beautiful sunset. A personal guide shared the experience with King Frederik and Queen Mary while sharing informations and stories from the area.

In the morning hours the couple looked liked any other tourists admiring the sunset. The King flashed an army printed hat, hiking boots and a back pack with (supposedly) supplies for the walk. His wife matched his style with perfection: a messy knot in a cap, linen shorts and practical walking boots.

I love their "undercover" outfits!

Arriving in Canberra

King Frederik and Queen Mary then arrived in Canberra. They were warmly welcomed at the Government House by Sam Mostyn, the Governor-General of Australia and spouse Simeon Beckett. As part of the welcoming, the couple participated a traditional some ceremony.

I was in love with the couple when they visited the Muṯitjulu Waterhole in Uluṟu. They blended in like it was the most easy thing in the world - if it wasn't for the many photographers and journalists...

When arriving in Canberra, Mary had changed to one of her stunning floral printed dressed in Zimmermann. It is not my favorite dress though I adore the bright color! Because of the smashing color and I think it is great that she chose rather neutral Gianvito Rossi pumps.

Like the woman performing the smoke ceremony, Mary was too beautifully bejewelled wearing jewellery from both Rebekka Notkin, Orit Elhanati, Dulong Fine Jewelry and Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Some of the finest jewellery designers were have in Denmark.

King Frederik and Queen Mary were also welcomed in Canberra with at an official ceremony at the Government House. The gathering were hosted by the Governor-General of Australia Sam Mostyn and her spouse Simeon Beckett.

A second welcoming ment a second (or third) outfit suited for the occasion. Mary had chosen a brand new floral printed set from Claes Iversen. It's a couture design from 2016 which tells us that fashion never goes out of style.

The weather was wonderful. Warm and sunny. Mary's color-palette was really well-chosen. The dusty blue head piece matched both the reused LIN8 clutch and the blue sky. Her summery look was topped of with beige pointed leather from Prada.

Gala dinner at the Government House

It has already been a fantastic day. We are so spoiled. Just look at all those incredible outfits. Can it get any better? Apparently, yes. 

In the evening, the Governor-General of Australia Sam Mostyn and spouse Simeon Beckett hosted a gala dinner at the Government House in honor of the King and Queen's visit. Both King Frederik and Sam Mostyn gave a speech at the dinner.

Mary truly looked like a star on a starry night. Her amazing evening gown is a reused and altered Jesper Høvring creation. It goes back to the wedding of Crown Princess Victoria and Daniel Westling in 2010. I am truly a fan of the original design but I the added golden top/sleeve. Makes it even more glamorous.

Like it wasn't enough: she wore stunning jewellery from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and a fine bracelet that once belonged to Crown Princess Lovisa.

 Day 1. Official State Visit to Australia

March 14, 2026

King Frederik and Queen Mary arrived in Perth yesterday and were welcomed by Governor Chris Dawson and spouse, Darrilyn Dawson at the Government House.

On March 14th, the couple flew to Uluṟu in the Northern Territory to officially start their state visit. At the welcoming in Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park Cultural Centre, the Queen showed everybody the standard for this whole trip.

Do you remember the blouse? She first wore it in 2004 and it hasn't been seen since. Back then she wore it with a white trousers and a matching belt. More than 20 years later, she style it with a new long Mark Kenly Domino Tan skirt and a Akubra hat.

The couple watched the sunset over Uluṟu in company of Senior Aṉangu. The sun made her stunning jewellery (from Orit Elhanati, Cartier, Dulong Fine Jewelry, Rebekka Notkin and Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen) shine like golden stars. Tomorrow, they will watch the sun rise over Uluṟu.

Dinner at Kronborg Castle

March 05, 2026

What a magical surrounding for a dinner! Kronborg Castle in Helsingør roomed a fine dinner for more than 300 invited guests with the King and Queen as guest of honor. The guests represented Denmarks honorary consuls. They were gathered on occasion of the Ministry of Foreign Affair's consular meeting.

I know it was "just a dinner" and not something big and fancy but I had expected a bit more of her outfit for this gathering - and the King too. I do like her outfit. The simple white Hugo Boss blouse and that chic reused skirt made a great look, but as a guest of honor... The skirt is still unidentified. It made its debut in 2019. She wasn't even wearing that many jewellery or any spectacular ones. A little colors - maybe a berry lipstick or bordeaux nails would have done it for me.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this one. Am I being too critical?

Day 2. Official State Visit to Lithuania

January 29, 2026

Queen Mary looked amazing in her long woolen skirt and soft bordeaux blouse when spending yet another day in Lithuania. She first wore the Max Mara skirt last year when visiting Latvia. Back then she also matched the beautiful skirt with the color of bordeaux. In Lithuania, Mary embraced the look wearing a brand new The Fold London blouse.

The Presidential Couple accompanied the King and Queen when they paid a vist at the Danish-Lithuanian business forum and later at the wreath-laying ceremony at Antakalnis Cemetery. At the cemetery, Mary stayed warm in a reused coat from Uniqlo and a beautiful green Harris Wharf London coat.

Later in the afternoon, the royal couple visited the NBA Basketball School in Vilnius. They joined a training session and for that Mary had changed to a lovely navy blue turtleneck and black Gianvito Rossi boots. Here we also got a better look at her diamond earrings from Sophie Bille Brahe and golden Dulong Fine Jewelry ring. It also showed the best of the brown Celine belt.

I'm sure you noticed her changing boots along they way. The soft light brown boots are old ones from Valentino. My all-time favorite boots of hers.

Official Opening of "Friends in Need"

What is not to like? Mary won my vote for best-dressed at the official opening of the "Friends in Need"-exhibition. They Presidential Couple joined the King and Queen at the opening at the National Library of Lithuania. The exhibition is in honor of the friendship between Denmark and Lithuania.

Mary wore the most beautiful white Andiata suit paired with a reused dusty pink blouse which (unfortunately) has never been identified. The combination of colors and materials are exquisite. The soft curly hairdo added an extra glimpse of glamour to her look. So did the smashing new Julie Sandlau earrings. I'm pretty sure she wore a ring as well but I'm not sure which one.

When the couple arrived at the National Library of Lithuania Mary (once again) wore her fine Harris Wharf London coat. She completed the outfit with stunning beige pointed Prada pumps.

January 28, 2026

Arrival in Vilnius

After a lovely last day in Estonia, King Frederik and Queen Mary flew directly to Lithuania to continue their travel. They landed in Vilnius Airport. The couple are spending two days in Lithuania.

Mary hadn't changed clothes from Estonia to Vilnius. She was still wearing her new grey tweed suit from The Fold London and her reused wool-blend coat from Harris Wharf London. Actually, I'm no big fan of grey but it looks kinda cool matched with green.

She kept warm with a knitted beanie, gloves and heeled black boots. The lovely bag is an iconic design by Ralph Lauren.

Welcoming Ceremony

King Frederik and Queen Mary have arrived in Vilnius, Estonia. President Gitanas Nausèda and his wife, First Lady Diana Nausèdienè welcomed the royal couple at the Presidential Palace.

Later on, the First Lady accompanied Queen Mary at a visit at the Ukrainian Center in Vilnius. The center is a social meeting place for Ukrainian families and children living in Lithuania.

Finally! This new stunning floral suit is everything I wished for. I truly missed her wearing anything but trousers. Then what's better than a floral printed skirt? I adore Mary's new Erdem set. Its silhouette is simply beautiful. Can't wait to see her wear it in the future.

Mary styled her florals with a reused headpiece created by Jane Taylor and fine white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry. Am I the only one who get that vintage-vibe? What is not to love! Even the Mulberry handbag added that sparkle of old-Hollywood.

I get it why she had chosen low-heeled boots because of the snowy weather but I'd loved to have seen the set with anything but boots - which by the way is from Gianvito Rossi.

State Banquet in Vilnius

President Gitanas Nausèda and First Lady Diana Nausèdienè hosted a magical state banquet at the Presidential Palace to welcomed the King and Queen to Estonia.

The list of invited guests were almost endless. I bet they had a wonderful evening.

Oh..! Mary looked absolutely splendid at the evening state banquet. Don't you think that new bordeaux Elie Saab gown is magnificent? I love everything about it. The slim silhouette, the one-side cape and thin belt. Missed evening gowns.

Not sure I've every really fallen for that antique tiara and matching earrings. Can't tell you why. Maybe because she had so many outstanding pieces of jewellery available and these pieces are a little too simple for an event like this... The the colours looks beautiful next to her fair skin and dark brown hair. We also get a glimpse of her custom-made Dulong Fine Jewelry ruby ring.

Both her Sergio Rossi patent leather box clutch and suede Gianvito Rossi pumps are both reused (and loved) pieces.

Day 1. Official state visit to Estonia

January 27, 2026

You may have noticed my absence the last couple of months. Apologies. I'll try to catch up with everything that has happened since end of January.

On January 27th, the King and Queen arrived in Estonia to attend a two-days official state visit. The royal couple were officially welcomed in Tallinn by President of Estonia, Alar Karis and the First Lady, Sirje Karis at the City Hall Square. 

The Presidential Couple accompanied King Frederik and Queen Mary when paying their respect at the Monument to the War of Independence. They also visited the Memorial of the Victims of Communism.

Later on, the royal couple met with the Prime Minister of Estonia and Speaker of the Estonian Parliament.

I always loved a good old tweed fabric. The woven texture is one of my personal favourites. Mary's beautiful new dress is created by Danish tailor Lasse Spangenberg. The detailing are simply amazing. I don't even have to comment further. Have a look and admire the splendid work of his. Her fine coat is a reuse from Max Mara.

Her new headpiece is by Danish milliner Katrin Cecilia Jacobsen. On her social media she posted the headpiece in-the-making. What a treat! Turns out fabric from the dress is braided in with navy blue silk.

I'm sure you noticed the stunning sapphire and diamond brooch. It is called the vandflodsbrochen or the flood sapphire brooch. The brooch is part of the Danish Royal Property Trust and once belonged to Queen Marie Sophie Frederikke - wife of Frederik VI. It is dated back to around 1840.

Mary then accessorized her outfit with a chic brown leather handbag from Anya Hindmach. Her fine dark blue suede boots are new ones from Gianvito Rossi.

State Banquet in St. Nicholas Church

After a long day, the King and Queen were invited as guest of honor to attend a concert and state banquet in St. Nicholas Church. The events were hosted by the Presidential Couple.

This is exactly what I needed! Mary looked absolutely smashing at the evening events in her floor-length gown. It is told to be from Prada but I've never seen or read any evidence of that claim which is why I only share what I've heard. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful gown.

She matched it with huge diamond earrings purchased at an Bruun Rasmussen auction some years back. Don't know about you but I was thrilled to see her wedding tiara. Especially with her flowing soft curly hair.

Mary also embraced the style with a beloved old satin box clutch from Prada and fine matching pumps from Gianvito Rossi.

Reopening of the Court Theatre

January 15, 2026

Two Queen's on duty. Queen Mary and Queen Margrethe accompanied each other for the reopening of the Court Theatre in Copenhagen. The theatre was first opened in 1767 which makes it the oldest working theatre in Denmark. It has been under renovation for the last five years.

I adore velvet! I love the combination of navy blue and red but somehow I wish the print was on satin. What was your first thought? Nevertheless, it is indeed a beautiful dress. It is a new addition of Saloni. Truly in love with the neckline. Queen Margrethe also looked stunning in her bright purple dress. She always as Queen.

She has been very fond of wearing old jewellery inherited from royal women. At the reopening, Mary stunned wearing earrings and a diamond brooch that once belonged to Princess Caroline. Look closer and you'll see a couple of Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen rings.

I really missed those blue satin pumps from Gianvito Rossi. Everything about them are perfect. The clutch is a custom-made Carlend Copenhagen creation.

"Inside the walls"

January 14, 2026

They play "Inside the Walls" by Henri Nathansens was first performed in 1912 on the Old Stage at The Royal Theatre. Since then it has been performed more than 500 times.

On Wednesday evening, Queen Mary was invited to watch the famous play. Actress Fridamarie B. Cauchi welcomed the Queen when she arrived to the repremiere.

Anyone other than me who adore her purple velvet suit? The fabric and color takes it to a completely other level. It is the first time she wears it with a black blouse. This one is new and from Prada. I actually really like the sheer black blouse with the suit.

Mary matched the embellished blouse with suede rivet pumps from Gianvito Rossi and a Ralph Lauren clutch. We hadn't seen the clutch for years when she wore it again on December 15th 2025. Many of you didn't know about. I was able to identify it quite a few years ago but all by accident.

The dusty rose diamond earrings and rather huge amethyst ring were a wonderful addition to the rest of her outfit.

Visiting the Heart Association

January 13, 2026

Queen Mary was warmly welcomed by CEO Morten Ørsted-Rasmussen and Head of the Heart Association's health services Louise Svarre Jakobsen when visiting the Heart Association. The two of them introduced their patron to the associations new strategy to strengthen prevention. 

In relation, she also met with consultants from Hjertelinjen and the honor of meeting with three patients living with a heart defect. They shared their personal experiences with her.

The Queen has been patron for the Heart Association since 2005.

It is no secret that Mary has become very fond of suits the last 3 or 4 years. She wears them in many colors - black, white, blue and red. This green one from Massimo Dutti has become a personal favorite of hers. This time she matched it with a fine turtleneck jumper. Perfect for the cold weather we have in Denmark right now.

Mary chose to accessorize the suit with a green snakeskin belt. Did you know that is goes back to round 2009? I have never been able to identify it but maybe one day. The beautiful green emerald ring is crafted by Dulong Fine Jewelry such as the other two golden rings. I kinda like the combo of rings.

That black Bottega Veneta bag has always been one of her favorites since 2008. We haven't seen it much in a few years. Looked great with the black suede boots from Gianvito Rossi.

New Year Reception

- Christiansborg

January 06, 2026

King Frederik and Queen Mary hosted their final New Year Reception at Christiansborg in Copenhagen. They were driven in the Golden Coach from Amalienborg to Christiansborg. The coach was escorted by the Guard Hussar Regiment's Mounted Squadron.

The reception was hosted for Officers from the Defence and Danish Emergency Management Agency. Representative from the public sector, selected groups with noble and honorary titles, national organizations and royal patronages were also invited to the reception.

Seems like Mary is fond of golden outfits this New Year. For the reception at Christiansborg she had chosen a reused golden Teri Jon by Rickie Freemann gown. Mary first wore the gown for an official dinner in Katuaq, Greenland in 2024. Her fine white wool-blend coat is from JOSEPH.

She embraced the stunning gown with a number of exclusive pieces of jewellery. Like the diamond earrings. They once belonged to Anne of Orange. The beautiful brooch is actually Queen Louise's engagement bracelet. I am sure you noticed the incredible golden bracelet. It was an engagement present from King Frederik VIII to his future wife Queen Lovisa.

The fine clutch is a reuse as well but I have never been able to identify it. Her dusty rose suede pointed pumps are from Gianvito Rossi. What an outfit!

New Year's Eve Banquet

January 01, 2026

The New Year's Eve Banquet it the most prestiges evening of them all. This is the second time King Frederik and Queen Mary host the overwhelming banquet at Amalienborg. They enjoyed the evening with, among others, representatives from the Danish Government who were all dressed in their finest clothing's and orders.

Crown Prince Christian, Queen Margrethe, Prince Joachim, Princess Marie and Princess Benedikte also attended the magical New Year's Eve Banquet.

Mary's golden gown was just as magical as the banquet! The gown is a creation by Jesper Høvring. It goes back to 2016 and was first worn on a new portrait of her by photographer Marco Grob. Since then, the gown has been altered a number of times. It was first altered in 2022 in honor of Queen Margrethe's 50th anniversary as Queen of Denmark. Then again in 2024 and now for the banquet. I'm curious to hear which one you favor. The beautiful lace-work is tailored by Lasse Spangenberg.

Her shiny tiara is the altered rose-cut diamond necklace belonging to Queen Lovisa. Mary had it created into this stunning tiara in 2024. It hadn't been worn for more than 100 years when Mary brought back its shine. The stunning diamond earrings are pear-shaped pendants from the Danish Crown Diamond Parure paired with studs inherited from Queen Juliane Marie.

She accessorized the beautiful evening outfit with a reused Judith Leiber clutch and satin pumps from Gianvito Rossi.

The presentation of two new awards

December 15, 2025

Queen Mary arrived at the Opera in Copenhagen to attend the presentation of the Ministry of Education and Research two new awards.

The Into Change Award is to honor European researchers in the highest level. It goes to researchers who distinguished themselves through exceptional research. Queen Mary handed over the award to the ENGRAVE collaboration.

Along with Minister of Education and Research Christina Egelund, the Queen also presented the Into Innovation Award. It is awarded to a Danish entrepreneur who find themselves turning knowledge into innovation solutions.

Mary had chosen an elegant black velvet suit and paired it with a fine black satin blouse. I'm not quite sure I fancy the combination of fabrics but I like the intention of something dramatic like velvet and satin. Think we have seen the suit before. Do you like velvet suits?

Because of the satin blouse, I really like that she matched it with those Gianvito Rossi pumps. Always loved the shape of Rossi's pumps. So elegant and classy.

Lately, she has been wearing old goodies. Accessories we haven't seen for years. The same goes with the clutch that she carried with her at the award show. It is an old one from Ralph Lauren. Only worn ones before in 2012. The stunning diamond earrings are from an Bruun Rasmussen auction from a few years back.

Day 2. Official visit to Kenya

December 12, 2025

The Dandora landfill

Queen Mary started her second day in Nairobi by visiting Dandora - the biggest landfill in the country. Denmark wish to contribute to a better and more circular waste management. Today, both humans and animals are to be found at the landfill.

For her visit at the Dandora landfill she showed up wearing a matching Columbia blouse and belted trousers and rubber boots. The necklace is from Orit Elhanati.

Queen Mary also took part in several different official events during the day. She both met with the President of Kenya, Dr. Wiliam Samoei Ruto at the UN headquarters and attended a high-level event with the United Nations Environment Assembly. The Queen gave the opening speech.

When meeting the President of Kenya, Mary changed to wear a fine dotted Prada dress. It is a reuse first seen in Paris in 2021. This time she matched it with beige python pumps from Gianvito Rossi. About now, they have traveled the world and seen Nigeria, Belgium, Japan and now Kenya. A clever choice to wear her beige Prada handbag. Great combo, right?

Mary embraced the look with white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a couple of golden bracelets from the same designer. Her diamond studded bracelet is an Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen creation. The massive gold one is Rebekka Notkin.

Reception

TEKST

Queen Mary took part in an official reception hosted by the Danish Embassy in Kenya.

What a dreamy outfit Mary wore at the evening reception at the Danish Embassy! The stunning blouse is a design by Jesper Høvring. I kinda like the combo of the colors. The skirt is a reused - I guess it could be tailored, but I still don't know where it is from.

Mary matched the outfit with an old bronze clutch from Mulberry. I was thrilled to see her wear an old goodie like this. I'm even more amazed to see the peep-toe pumps from Christian Louboutin. I really missed these pieces. We haven't seen them in years.

Another piece I'm almost shocked to see is the custom-made necklace from Ali Al Awssi. Mary first wore this necklace in 2004! Her diamond studded bracelet is Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and the earrings are from Louise Grønlykke. Seem like she had them altered. I like the shorter version.
