In April, the royal court released new official gala portraits of the King and Queen. Now, the court also released three new civil photos of the couple!

Photographer Steen Evald captured the moment at Frederik VIII's Palace at Amalienborg.

From now on, the photos will be used in relation to official state visits, travels, special occasions and for the couple's protections.

Queen Mary wore a stunning bespoke dress by Søren Le Schmidt. The exact same dress as for the proclamation in April. Styled with stunning diamond earrings purchased at an Bruun Rasmussen auction and her elegant Halberstadt necklace.

Day 4. Official visit to Brazil

05 October 2024

Queen Mary has spend the last three days in Brazil along with Danish Minster of Climate, Energy and Supply Lars Aagaard. They were welcomed with a performance at the Teatro Amazonas, met with Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and visited the INPA - the national research center in the Amazon region.

On her last day in the city of Brasílias, the two of them accompanied each other one last time when visiting the botanic garden in Brasílias. It was as patron for UNEP - the United Nation's Environmental Program she visited the botanic garden, which is an area for nature conservation.

I really liked her style during the visit in Brazil. We have seen new and old pieces from her wardrobe, classy and elegant outfits. My favorite look from her travel is (by no doubt) her colorful evening outfit from the first day. I was baffled. Enough about that.

Mary spend her last day in Brasílias, Brazil by visiting the botanic garden. She wisely had chosen a simple casual outfit for the occasion. She reused the linen Bagutta button-down and a chic dusty green By Malene Birger skirt. Maybe you remember her wearing the skirt in Fiji last year? The brown leather belt from Max Mara was a great detail. So is the blue Gucci shades and Canopy Bay by Deborah Hutton hat.

She styled the look with golden earrings and a diamond bangle from Dulong Fine Jewelry, an Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen ring and necklaces from Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau. The fine ballet flats are Prada and the cool white sneakers are from Adidas.

Day 3. Official visit to Brazil

04 October 2024

Meeting with Brazil's President

In the morning, Queen Mary attended a meeting with Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva at the Presidential palace Palácio do Planalto. Danish Minister of Climate, Energy and Supplies Lars Aagaard accompanied her at the meeting.

Queen Mary and Minister Lars Aagaard will spend the next two days in Brasília.

Do you feel like we have seen this outfit before? You are right. Mary wore a similar outfit in 2016 when on a business promotion visit in the United States and in 2023 visiting India. The dress is truly beautiful. The simple silhouette and the elegant floral print. What is not to like? Love to see this dress again.

She even styled the Vilshenko beauty with the same custom-made Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings as in 2016 and 2023. These earrings comes with a number of different pendants. Rose Quartz, Amethyst, diamonds. We also get a glimpse of a magnificent Dulong Fine Jewelry ring and sweet Halberstadt necklace.

A closer look revealed that she also styled her look with a Max Mara leather handbag and matching dusty rose Gianvito Rossi sling-backs.

A school visit and a visit to Embrapa Cerrados

After her meeting the President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Queen Mary paid a visit to a public school in Brasília. She was, once again, accompanied by Lars Aagaard - Danish Minster of Climate, Energy and Supply. They were given knowledge about the schools school food program.

The traveling partners then visited Embrapa Cerrados which is an agricultural research institute in the Cerrado of the savanna area. The Embrapa Cerrados work with  challenges and opportunities in relation to agriculture's impact on biodiversity and the environment in Brazil.

What a lovely outfit! I am pleased to see her wear that Stella Jean dress again. Always adored its silhouette and dusty blue colour. She made a wonderful choice with the braided Zimmermann belt. First worn at the Olympic Games in August. Works beautifully with a dress as well. Do you favor it worn with trousers or dress?

The brown Michel Vivien sandals were also a magnificent addition to her outfit! Later on, she changed to white Adidas sneakers. Like how it turned out both casual yet super chic. Perfect for a visit in Brazil in October. As jewellery, Mary was wearing golden Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings and a custom-made ring. The fine Halberstadt necklace and Rebekka Notkin bracelet were the cherry on the ice cream.

We haven't seen her wear the Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses for quite a while - I'm thrilled. Thrilled to see other sunglasses then her blue Gucci shapes. Her hat is from Canopy Bay by Deborah Hutton.

Mary. You look like a shining star. A true Queen in that Diane von Furstenberg halterneck and skirt. The colours are smashing to her fair skin and chestnut hair. It is indeed a blouse and skirt even though it looks like a dress. Even more because of the red crystal belt from Dolce & Gabbana. She has both worn clothes and belt before.

She embraced the outfit with exclusive Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings, bracelet and ring. All three pieces are custom-made by the talented Danish jewellery designer. We also get a glimpse of a beloved Rebekka Notkin bangle featuring beautiful diamonds.

The brand new Reiss clutch made the look way more dinner-worthy. Such as the stunning golden Aquazzura heeled sandals also worn a couple of days earlier.

Day 2. Official visit to Brazil

03 October 2024

Queen Mary is currently on official visit in Brazil and is accompanied by Danish Minister of Climate, Energy and Supply Lars Aagaard. She arrived yesterday to the Amazon region.

On Thursday, she started her second day in Brazil by visiting INPA - the national research center for the Amazon forest. The research center has made a significant research of the physical environment and living conditions in the region.

Queen Mary then visited CBA - Center for Bio-economy in the Amazon Forest. The center was founded in Manaus in 2002. It work to promote the sustainable development of the region of Amazon.

She ended her second day in Manaus with lunch at a local restaurant. A lunch made with products from the Amazon forest eaten by the locals on a daily basis. And yes, she was served ants (🙊). 

Mary looked so beautiful in her summery Sandro dress. I really like how light this dress is and the print is so fine and delicate. She was the dress just a couple of months ago when hosting a meeting with the Mary Foundation in August. Perfect for a casual meeting and an official visit abroad.

I love how Mary styled her outfit with reused costume-made Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings. Adored them for years. The splash of colours are wonderful. She first wore them in 2007 when spending a day in LegoLand. A very unofficial event. The golden ring is also a Dulong Fine Jewelry creation. Rebekka Notkin crafted the golden bangle and Halberstadt made the diamond necklace.

She matched her stunning dress and sparkly jewellery with chic brown leather sandals from Gianvito Rossi also worn visiting Fiji in April 2023 and in Zanzibar in November 2022.

Day 1. Official visit to Brazil

02 October 2024

A visit at the Amazon region

Queen Mary will be on official vist to Brazil from October 2-5th along with Danish Minister of Climate, Energy and Supply Lars Aagaard. The visit is to focus on the Danish-Brazilian cooperation on biodiversity, combating violence against women and health. She will be staying in Manaus the first two days of her visit.

When first arriving on October 2nd, the Queen joined a boatride on the Amazon river. The ride was guided to informe her about the regions challenges and possible solutions to combat environmental crime. Denmark has previously supported the Amazon Foundation, which fight against these environmental crimes and to promote a sustainable development for the rainforest.

Later on, the Queen visited reserve of Adolpho Ducke followed by a visit at MUSA - the Amazon Museum, which is located inside the Adolpho Ducke reserve. She got a close glimpse of the rainforest from the museum's 42 meters high tower.

What we have all been waiting for: Mary has arrived in Brazil where she will be staying next four days. When sailing the Amazon river and later visiting MUSA - the Amazon Museum, she looked great in a practical outfit. She matched a brand new Columbia button-down with Deerhunter trousers and a brown leather belt.

The Arc'Teryx boots were a perfect choice for a visit at the Amazon river - and the surrounding rain forest. Mary has worn the boots quite a few times about now. Also with a certain grace. In the same dark blue color, she added Gucci sunglasses to the outfit.

Her fine diamond earrings are creations by Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen such as the fine ring. In a way, her husband joined her on her travel because of the Halberstadt necklace.

Official welcoming

In the evening, Queen Mary was officially welcomed by the Gouverner of Amazon Wilson Lima. 

As part of the welcoming ceremony she was invited to attend a performance at at Teatro Amazonas - a teatre and opera house in the center of Manaus. The performance presented the the cultural history of the Amazon region.

I am nothing less than IMPRESSED! Lost my breath for a moment. Just look at that outfit. Sight! I am in love with every single part of her outfit from the welcoming at Teatro Amazonas. Mary was seen wearing a stunning bright Jesper Høvring blouse and a chick green maxi skirt. She first wore the skirt on August 21st when hosting a reception on board Dannebrog docked in Assens. I has yet to be found. Any ideas?

She styled the outfit with large golden earrings - a traditional Portuguese jewellery. This is the seventh time she wears them. First time was when attending a dinner on occasion of the Copenhagen Fashion Summit in 2014. A lovely match with the Halberstadt necklace, golden Aquazzura sandals and brand new yellow satin clutch from Prada. I am in LOVE.

Opening of the Parliament 2024

01 October 2024

Princess Benedikte accompanied King Frederik and Queen Mary at the annual opening of the Parliament. The three of them were warmly welcomed by Parliament's presidum and of course Søren Gade - Chairman of the Parliament.

The annual opening ceremony at Christiansborg Castle in Copenhagen marks the begning of a new year for the Danish politicians and the Parliament. The opening always takes place on the first Tuesday in October.

King Frederik, Queen Mary and Princess Benedikte watched the official opening from the royal balcony in the great Parliament Hall. Amongst speakers was Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.

Love that both Mary and Benedikte had the same though about wearing soft blue at the opening. Mary was dressed in a lovely reused coat tailored by Cleas Iversen along with a creamy white lace dress. Do you remember she also wore the coat at the opening in 2022? I think it could be an old Heartmade dress but I can't tell for sure.

Mary had chosen beige suede accessories: a beloved BOSS clutch, beautiful (new?) matching gloves and stunning pointed pumps from Gianvito Rossi. Kinda like this color-combo. Blue and beige. Very elegant. Looks like she added a splash of soft purple on her nails. I like that too.

What is an outfit without jewellery? Not much. Mary wore her amazing Halberstadt necklace with an Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen diamond ring. Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen is also the creator of her SMASHING golden leaf brooch. What a masterpiece!

Psychiatry Summit 2024

28 September 2024

Queen Mary attended the "Psychiatry Summit 2024" as patron of SIND - the association of metal health. She has been patron for SIND since 2004. So for the last twenty years, she has been part of and committed to the significant work SIND is doing for mental health in Denmark.

Chairman of the Psychiatry Network Poul Nyrup Rasmussen (former Danish Prime Minister) and Minister of health Sophie Løhde accompanied Chairman of SIND Mia Kristina Hansen and deputies of SIND Erik Mønsted and Bente Helms, when welcoming Queen Mary at her arrival at Imperial in Copenhagen.

The Psychiatry Summit gathered more than 1,000 professional, debaters, etc. to attend and participate presentations and the important debate about mental health issues and the Danish psychiatry sector in general.

Somehow, we do not have had many photos from the summit which surprises me. We usually have many photos from such events, but Mary looked beautiful in her reused green ZARA suit! The color is smashing. One of my favourites. Autumn is my time a year. She styled the stunning suit with a simple white v-neck blouse. Still unidentified.

Mary first wore the suit in 2023 at the "Photo of Loneliness" conference in Odense, but she wore the blazer a year earlier, when attending a meeting with WWF World Wild Fund for Nature in 2022.

At the Psychiatry Summit, she enhanced the beautiful of the suit with golden Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings and her beloved Halberstadt necklace. The Valentino's goes back to 2016 and have been worn on a number of different occasions since then.

Børsen's 400th anniversary

26 September 2024

Director of Danish Businesses Brian Mikkelsen and Chairman of Danish Business Jens Mathiesen arrived along with the King and Queen to attend Børsen's 400th anniversary.

On April 16th of this year, the iconic building suffered from a massive fire and due to this fire, the anniversary was held at Moltke´s Palace at Amalienborg.

Earlier that day, King Frederik attended the marking of restoring the destroyed Børsen. 

Børsen was build from around 1619-1640 and worked as a trade building at the time of King Christian IV. The architecture is by Lorenz van Steenwinckel and Hans van Steenwinckel. The building is known for its magnificent spire, which was also destroyed in the fire in April.

What to wear for an 400th anniversary celebration? - a bespoke Lasse Spangenberg creation of course! Mary looked like a movie star celebrating Børsen. She first wore the dress at the 10th anniversary of the Mary Foundation in 2017. Think the dress could have been made for the occasion. Mary also wore it at a gala dinner in 2018 and in 2023 at King Carl Gustaf's Golden Jubilee.

Mary beautifully styled the dress with a black embellished belt. It is not the first time we see this belt (2015, 2018, 2019, 2022). Love this detail!

Investigating her outfit, I find that she was wearing her beloved 'F'-necklace and a huge diamond ring from Dulong Fine Jewelry. Mary's is customized from the orignial available to purchase. I like how she matched the dress with Amethyst earrings, a bracelet and elegant find. Think it could be from an auction or presents from her husband.

The fine satin box clutch is a reuse from Prada such as the mesh/suede pumps are old ones from Gianvito Rossi. Overall opinion? - ADORABLE

Research conference in Copenhagen

26 September 2024

Queen Mary attended the annual "Research Conference" hosted by Independant Research Fund Denmark, also known as DFF. The Queen has been patron of the fund since May of this year. 

The Independant Research Fund Denmark is a public fund that finances research at an international level and work to strengthening ground-breaking research in Denmark.

Danish Minister of Education and Research Christina Egelund, Chairman of DFF Søren Serritzlew and head of the foundation's secretariat Jesper Risom all welcomed Queen Mary at her arrival.

Christy Anna Hipsley from University of Copenhagen received the title as winner of  "Original Idea of ​​the Year". Queen Mary handed over the award to Christy.

Somehow, this conference has gone "under the radar" to most medias which means we don't really have that many photos from her attendance. Nevertheless, we do have something to work with.

The stunning grey checkered jumpsuit is a reuse from Max Mara. She first wore it at a business promotion visit from Sweden in 2019 and then again at the presentation of the "DI Award" in 2020. The belt is a great detail.

Big question: 2019? 2020? or 2024?

Mary elegantly styled her outfit with a simple ponytail and chic makeup. The fine diamond necklace is from Halberstadt and her diamond bands are creations by Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

About two weeks ago, she wore the very same green Nina Ricci clutch - which is actually a cross-body bag with a removable strap. Mary first wore the clutch in 2016 when visiting the United States. The lovely shark grey suede pumps are from Gianvito Rossi.

26 September 2024

The Danish lifestyle magazine Bo Bedre has had the opportunity to followed the process and construction of the royal couple's new annex at Kancellihuset.

The work of transformning an old workshop building began last year. Special about this establishment it that it is mainly build on sustainable materials.

In June this year, the Queen attended the reveal of a unique dining table made from Tasmanian pine, beech from Fredensborg Castle Park and 14 other types of wood. The idea arose from the work at the old workshop building.

In the interview, Mary wore a comfortable outfit. She styled a plain white linen blouse from Bagutta and an elegant dusty green Apiece Apart maxi skirt. She wore a similar combo when visiting Norway in May and in Zanzibar in 2022.

I have only seen a couple of photos so far but it looks like Mary wore golden earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a couple of necklaces from the same talented designer. The third diamond necklace is Halberstadt. A classy yet casual match of jewellery.

We also get a glimpse of her wearing a pair of woven sandals from Arteana.

Exhibition about the Mary Elizabeth Hospital

25 September 2024

One step closer to the grand opening of the "Mary Elizabeth Hospital". The hospital is estimated to open in about one and a half year in 2026.

Queen Mary attended the opening of a brand new exhibition dedicated to the development of the new hospital. 

Director of Danish Industry Lars Sandahl Sørensen, Chairman of Region Hovedstaden Lars Gaardhøj and Director of Rigshospitalet Rasmus Møgelvang all welcomed the Queen at the arrival to Industriens Hus in Copenhagen.

Chairman of Region Hovedstaden Lars Gaardhøj and Director of the project Jesper Erdal both gave a speech as part of the opening. Queen Mary was then given a guided tour around the exhibition. She was given an inside in the buildings architecture, the innovative way of helping patients and the improved treatment at the children's hospital.

I am in chock! Mary died her hair in a lighter chestnut and matched it in color with her outfit. Sight! Autumn has truly arrived in Denmark and the colors need an update. For you who have followed me for some time know that Autumn is my favorite time a year. Especially because of the warmer colors.

Mary wore a reused v-neck blouse from The Fold London. Not that long ago, she wore it at a meeting with the "Queen Mary's Center" in March. The bright color has created a debate. So, let us take it one more time. Once and for all: is it a go or no go?

At first, I was sure Mary was wearing a brand new skirt but after a while I realized that she was in fact wearing an old Alexander McQueen skirt from 2016! She first wore it at the presentation of the Heart Association's Research Award in 2016. Love it then, adore it now. The belt was a clever detail.

She embraced the style with Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings and an elegant golden custom-made ring, and her beloved diamond 'F'-necklace.

My only issue with her outfit is the new kitten heels from Jimmy Choo. The burgundy color is EXQUISITE but I am still troubled with the heel. Imagine it with a midi or high heel. Then I would have been convinced. In a heartbeat.

Conference for health care nurses and presentation of the "Teaching Award 2024"

23 September 2024

On Monday, Queen Mary arrived at the Tivoli Hotel & Congress Center in Copenhagen to attended the opening of the conference for health care nurses along with the Mary Foundation. The Queen was welcomed by Susanne Rank Lücke, Chairman of the Professional Association for Health Care Nurses. She was accompanied by Helle Østergaard, Director of the Mary Foundation.

The conference takes place from September 23-24th and gather professionals from all over the country for an update on the health care system and to network through workshops along with presentations from prominent experts in their field. "Violence in the family" was the team of this years conference.

Queen Mary also attended the presentation of the "Teaching Award 2024". When arriving at the Opera, she was warmly welcomed by Minister of Education and Research Christina Egelund.

She was there to honor and congratulate this years 7 award winners, who represent each their profession/education. They receive the "Teaching Award" due to their innovative way of teaching by cases, roleplays and including professionals from businesses.

Mary looked super elegant in a reused outfit. Do you recall when she last wore this soft blue Victoria Beckham blouse and colorful printed Paul & Joe skirt? You are right! When King Harald and Queen Sonja of Norway visited Copenhagen in 2023. Actually, Mary also wore this exact combo at the inauguration of Herlev's new Emergency Room and Woman-Child Center in 2021.

This time at the conference and following presentation, she embraced the style by wearing old white South Sea pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a matching custom-made bracelet, such as two golden bangles. She has been wearing these golden bracelets quite a few times lately and I still do not know anything about them. We also get a glimpse of her beloved diamond 'F'-necklace.

The stunning beige pointed pumps are Gianvito Rossi. Mary has worn these pumps at 34 (now 35) times since 2016! Her elegant red Hugo Boss handbag is rather new. It goes back to 2020. The chick glasses are from Gucci.

Summer tour with Dannebrog

- end of the tour

11 September 2024

Disembark Dannebrog

The King and Queen have enjoyed this summer on board Dannebrog visiting both Sweden, Norway, Greenland and a number of Danish cities - Bornholm, Ærø, Assens and Vejle.

Now the couple are back in Copenhagen and the summer at the royal yacht has ended. It has truly been an incredible summer! Don't you think? What a way to celebrate their first year as ruling couple of Denmark.

First a state visit in Sweden, then Norway followed by a trip to Greenland where the couple were accompanied by Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine. They ended this years session by visiting two Danish islands and two cities.

Somehow, I can't decide my opinion about this outfit. I really like her old navy wool-blend The Fold London suit. It's classy, chic and elegant at the same time. The details are outstanding. I'm also in love with the matching new patent leather pumps. Really clever of her to wear shoes in a similar color. Make the outfit look a bit more complete. I'm still on the look for the designer of her new pumps - any ideas?

The slash of green also makes a great combo. The Nina Ricci clutch is actually a cross-body bag with a removable strap. Mary first wore the clutch/bag at a business promotion visit in the United States in 2016. Then again in 2018 at the "World No Tobacco Day" and in Texas in 2019.

I also like the idea of matching the clutch with similar colors from the fine scarf, but the way she wore it as a hair piece, bothers me. For me it's a little too casual for the suit.

Mary styled her outfit with a fine anchor brooch, her beloved Halberstadt necklace and exclusive diamond rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. This combo of diamond rings have been a favorite of hers for many years.

Gala dinner at Amalienborg

In the evening, King Frederik and Queen Mary hosted a gala dinner at Christian VII's Palace at Amalienborg for the officer of Dannebrog. Queen Margrethe also attended the prestiges dinner.

In Danish, the dinner is actually called a 'Strygemiddag' (stryge dinner). 'Stryge' is when the royal flag is removed from Dannebrog to mark the end of a successful summer tour.

Lately, I think Mary has switched from really classy and elegant outfits to confusing and odd combinations of clothes and accessories. Do you agree? Her outfit at the gala dinner was truly impressive! I always loved the colors of this Erdem dress. Looks amazing next to her fair skin and brown hair.

She first wore the dress 10 years ago at an anniversary event at the Opera on May 23rd 20214. Somehow, I favor her look from 2014 - except from the hairstyle. Her updo at the gala dinner take the lead.

Mary beautifully accessorized the fuchsia dress with stunning diamond and Amethyst earrings and a matching bracelet and ring. Think the earrings are a gift from her husband. The fine satin knot clutch is an iconic design by Bottega Veneta and the smashing purple suede pumps are from Gianvito Rossi.

The royal couple have been attending the Flag Day for many years. This is their first as King and Queen of Denmark. They attended a ceremony at Kastellet in Copenhagen and honored Danish soldiers who died or are lost in battle with a wreath.

Afterwards, the King and Queen joined a memorial service at Holmens Church.

This is an event that deserves a moment of silence. The course deserves to be the main focus. With Flag Day we honor Danish soldiers sent abroad to fight. Danish soldiers who have died or may be lost in battle. To their friends and families. I don't feel like commeting on style and fashion today. It is about much more important things. Let it speak for itself.

Meeting with the Advisory Committee

29 August 2024

Queen Mary hosted a meeting for the Queen Mary Centers Advisory Committee at Kancellihuset at Fredensborg.

The meeting was centered around green solutions. One specific project was discussed. It's an initiative to bring scientists and students to work in closer relations with practitioners of green solutions outside of their usual workspace - laboratories and auditoriums.

The Queen Mary Center is all about knowledge through partnerships to create changes.

Mary really did look good in her simple white linen Bagutta blouse and black wide-legged trousers. Can't say anything bad - other than, I wish she would soon wear one of her other blouses. Think we have seen the Bagutta blouses enough at this point. How would you style black trousers?

Nevertheless, I like her casual look. Ponytail, Gucci glasses and golden Dulong Fine Jewelry jewellery. Her choice in jewellery made a comfortable outfit way more stylish. Perfect for a meeting. The shirt diamond necklace is Halberstadt. 

I see a second ring featuring a green stone. She has a few similar rings, but I not sure if it's new or reused. The diamond band is Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Imagine she's wear black pumps.
