Presenting the Heart Association Research Award


March 26, 2026

It was a patron of the Danish Heart Association that Queen Mary attended the presentation of the Heart Association's Research Award 2026. The award is given to recognizes an individual or group for their outstanding efforts in the fight against heart disease.

This year the award was handed over by Queen Mary to clinical professor at Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg Hospital Eva Prescott for her work with the iPower. iPower focuses on an often overlooked issue in heart research - undiagnosed and untreated breast pain in women.

Mary looked absolutely stunning when she arrived at Hotel d'Angletere in Copenhagen to attend the presentation. She matched a reused burgundy blouse from Jesper Høvring with a brand new Rejina Pyo midi skirt. The color-match are incredible, don't you think? The heavy necklace and fine Aquamarine earrings were an elegant choice with the light and flowy outfit. I haven't really decided whether or not I like the python pumps with the rest of her look. The exclusive leather clutch is an Anya Hindmarch design.

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 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.

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.

New Year Reception

- Christians VII's Palace, Christian VIII's Palace & Christiansborg


Januar 05, 2026

King Frederik and Queen Mary hosted three New Year Reception at Christians VII's Palace, Christian VIII's Palace and Christiansborg.

The first one was in honor of the Justices of the Supreme Court and the officer corps of the Royal Life Guard and Guard Hussar Regiment. Then followed a reception at Christian VIII's Palace for mayors and regional council chairmen.

Later that day, the royal couple hosted the third New Year Reception for the diplomatic corps' heads of mission, heads of reception from the Faroe Islands and Greenland, and side-accredited ambassadors. All spouses were also invited to the reception at Christiansborg.

The first thing that came to me when I saw Mary in that new blue velvet suit was Queen Margrethe. She loved to wear a specific blue set when she used to host the New Year receptions. It also reminded me of her stunning midnight-blue gown worn in 2006 for the New Year's Eve Banquet. Her beautiful new suit is tailored by talented Jesper Høvring. The color looks good on her!

Mary embraced the smashing velvet with white pearl earrings belonging to the Danish Pearl Poiré Parure. The pearl ring matched perfectly. It is mastered by Dulong Fine Jewelry. I love that she chose a clutch is the same color as the rest of her outfit but I'm not sure the Quidam leather clutch was the right one. What do you think? A bit too plain for the occasion.

I am not able to identify her shoes from the photos I have seen. Looks like a simple pair of round-toed suede pumps worn with thick black tights.

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.

Historian, writer and professor at University of Aalborg, Johan Lund Heisen was resented the award "Original Idea of ​​the Year". The award was handed over by the Queen herself.

I have truly missed an outfit like this. Just look at it! The silhouette is smashing. Love how she matched the stunning printed Jesper Høvring blouse with a simple a-line skirt. I have no ID on the skirt but I am pretty sure it is a new addition to wardrobe. Beautiful how the Prada belt defined her waistline.

I am still trouble about the Sophie Bille Brahe earrings. The diamond/gold combination is outstanding and works very time but the design bothers me. Apparently Mary disagrees. But they do look good with this outfit.

Mary is an honest master of finding same colors in nuance. The same goes with how she matched her new skirt and belt with the dark blue Quidam clutch. Wearing nude or beige pumps/shoes is a clever trick. Makes your legs look longer. She has used this "trick" for many years. I was just reminded how well it works.

Day 2. Official visit to Egypt


November 02, 2025

Visit at the pyramids in Giza

The Queen arrived in Giza yesterday to atten the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum.

First thing in the morning on her second day in Egypt, Mary enjoyed the sight of the Giza pyramids. She was even given the chance to see the inside of The Great Pyramid of Giza. Literally, she touch thousands of years of history with her hands. What a morning!



Mary embraced the most casual outfit. She matched a soft blue button-down with slim beige trousers and a shawl. The blouse has been identified as a new one from POLO Ralph Lauren. Very similar t another one of her blue denim shirts.

A closer look revealed that she styled the outfit with a reused brown leather belt from BOSS and her Jerome Dreyfuss phone pouch.

They were introduced to meet the famous Tutankhamun's coffin and golden death mask. It must have been treasured moment in her life.



Before going to the Grand Egyptian Museum to met with the Minister of Foreign Affairs Lars Løkke Rasmussen, Mary made a quick change. She was wearing a brand new blouse and matching green trousers from Zimmermann. Tell me it dosen't look comfortable. Love the loose fit and how she accessorized it with different textures like the brown leather belt from Max Mara.

The golden earrings are beloved ones from Dulong Fine Jewelry and the necklace is created by the talented Rebekka Notkin. She also mastered her golden bangle. Mary's two other bracelets are from Dulong Fine Jewelry.

Meeting the President of Egypt

Before she was headed home to Copenhagen Mary met one last time with the President of Egypt, Abdel Fattah Al Sisi at the presidential palace in Cairo. Lars Løkke Rasmussen also had the opportunity to greet the President for his hospitality.



Mary wore a beautiful bordeaux outfit when meeting with the President at the presidential palace. She had chosen a most beloved Jesper Høvring blouse and paired it with a stunning floral printed maxi skirt. It has yet not been identified. Maybe one day I am able to tell where it is from.

The cool leather belt was found not that long ago at & Other Stories. The smashing golden earrings are from Rebekka Notkin. It perfectly matched her necklace as from the designer and collection. Mary also styled her look with a custom-made ring from Dulong Fine Jewelry.

For the first time today we have a photo showing her entire body. It makes it possible for me to tell that she wore Gianvito Rossi pumps.

Day 1. Official visit to Nigeria


June 24, 2025

"The 10 Million Safer Births Initiative"

Queen Mary paid an official visit to Nigeria from June 24 to 25th. She was accompanied by the Danish Minister of Education and Research, Christina Egelund. The visit is based on the Danish Government's "Africa Strategy" and focused on the Danish-Nigerian cooperation in both culture, healthcare and business.

The Queen and Christina Egelund were jointed by, among others, the Nigerian Minister of Women's Affairs Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim at "The 10 Million Safer Births Initiative"-event taking place at the Maitama District Hospital in Abuja.



I simply love when Mary is wearing colors - especially colorful and printed dresses. This is why I adore the La DoubleJ dress so much. She first wore it when visiting Fiji in 2023. Back then she wore it with nude python pumps but this time, Mary had chosen brown mules from Malone Souliers to match the dress. I kinda like that.

A closer look reveal her wearing beautiful golden earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a custom-made golden ring. Also mastered by Dulong Fine Jewelry. Love how her soft brown curly hair matched the shoes in color. Has her hair been dyed more light brown?

A day in Abuja

Later that day Minister of Education and Research Christina Egelund accompanied Queen Mary when attending a meeting with Nigeria's President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the First Lady Oluremi Tinubu. The meeting took place at State House - the Presidential Villa.

The two of them then visited the Danish ambassador's residence in Nigeria followed by a visit at MeCaht Crisis Center - a center for young women who have been exposed to human trafficking.



Her choice in clothes is outstanding! So far we have seen everything I adore: colors and prints. When meeting the Nigerian President and First Lady at the State House she changed to a bright red blouse from Jesper Høvring and a stunning floral printed Paul & Joe skirt. The pleating's are wonderful. Love how "light" this outfit looks. 

Mary embraced the style with simple python pumps from Gianvito Rossi. Think it is her most beloved pair of shoes.

Her beautiful white South Sea pearl earrings goes way back in time. They are created by Danish Dulong Fine Jewelry. So is her custom-made golden ring. Mary's necklace is rather new. It has been identified as a Louise Grønlykke design.

Reception at The Nordic Abuja

Queen Mary and Christian Egelund, Minister of Education and Research attended a reception at The Nordic Abuja in the evening after a long day in Abuja. She gave a speech on occasion of the reception.



I never been a huge fan of this dress. Think it is the silhouette that doesn't really attracts me. Mary first wore it at a business promotion visit in Sweden in 2017. Back then she also accessorized it with a black leather belt from Isabel Marant. I like the fact that she re-wore an outfit with a few other pieces of accessories.

Her beautiful curly hair was embellished with a new hair comb from talented Ellen Hunter. I really like how she matched white pearl earrings from Annikat with this specific hair comb and amazing pearl ring from Dulong Fine Jewelry.

Still haven't decided whether or not I like (or dislike) this model of shoes from Malone Souliers. What is your opinion? Mary wore brand new ones in black. The design is a collaboration between Malone Souliers and Philosophy (by Alberta Ferretti).

Mary looked absolutely stunning at the dinner! She matched a reused pink printed Erdem pencil skirt with a fine and elegant black blouse from Jesper Høvring. The Erdem skirt was first seen when the couple attended private birthday party at Gavnø Castle in 2024. Back then Mary matched it with a blouse in the same color and floral print. Which outfit do you prefer?

Mary accessorized her evening look with smashing Annikat earrings perfectly matching the pink skirt! The rather heavy golden necklace is a vintage piece from Christian Dior. Worn in January 2025 and in May 2024. I am very much interested to learn more about her golden ring. I believe we have seen it before.

I really like her choice of clutch and shoes. The Sergio Rossi and pointed Gianvito Rossi pumps makes the outfit even more wonderful.

Day 1. Official state visit to Finland


04 March 2025

By invitation King Frederik and Queen Mary are visiting Finland as an official state visit. The invitation was from Finland's President Alexander Stubb and his spouse Suzanne Innes-Stubb.

The royal couple were officially welcomed with a ceremony followed by a reception at the Presidential palace in Helsinki.

During the day King Frederik participated in a delegation discussion in the Dining Hall and attended a sining ceremony in Hall of Mirrors accompanied by the Finnish President. Meanwhile Mrs. Suzanne Innes-Stubb joined Queen Mary for a visit at the Helsinki New Children's Hospital.

Together they enjoyed lunch, visited the Parliament of Finland, met with the Prime Minister, visited the Merikaha civil defence shelter and honored Danish volunteers who fell during the Winter War in 1939-1940 at the Hietaniemi Cemetery.



Mary wore such a lovely outfit today! Adorable combination of colors. The light grey midi-length skirt and that reused Prada blouse. Such as stunning color-combo. Love how Mary is always able to style grey clothes and accessories. I have not been able to identify the skirt. The elegant Max Mara coat is brand new. Do you like it? Think the silhouette is really pretty.

Mary accessorized the outfit with a fine reused Jane Taylor headpiece and a matching suede clutch. Think it could be new. Reminds me of some other ones in her collection but I am not sure we have seen this before.

She looked so beautiful wearing a rather large golden brooch featuring Amethyst stones and diamond rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. I would love to get a closer look at her earrings. The knee-high heeled boots are old ones from Gianvito Rossi. The same designer as her new black boots worn later today at the Hietaniemi Cemetery.

State banquet

President Alexander Stubb and Mrs. Suzanne Innes-Stubb hosted a spectacular state banquet in the evening in honor of the King and Queen visiting Finland.

The banquet took place at Presidential Palace in the State Hall. Both King Frederik and President Alexander Stubb gave speeches during the dinner.

Seems like they all had a wonderful times. They were all smiles and sincere happy faces. What an evening!

On occasion of the state visit King Frederik handed over the Order of the Elephant to President Alexander Stubb. Mrs. Suzanne Innes-Stubb was given the Grand Cross of the Order of Dannebrog. King Frederik was honored with the chain of the Order of the White Rose of Finland. He was awarded the Grand Cross in 1994.



I could speak for hours about Mary's evening outfit. She looked absolutely smashing in her Jesper Høvring gown. Mary first wore the gown at the New Year's Banquet in 2019. Loved it then; love it even more now because of the newly added golden belt. Stunning detail! 

Her gown really deserve as much attention as the rest of the outfit but I know her choice of jewellery won everybody's attention. I get it. Since Mary became Queen of Denmark last year she has been digging in the royal jewellery box. She has already worn pieces the world haven't seen for many years. Decades.

At the state banquet Mary had chosen to wear a golden tiara that once belonged to Queen Caroline Amalie. It was crafted around 1820. It has not been worn in over 140 years. 

She embraced the style with matching earrings and a brooch from Countess Danner. They are part of a parure which comes with a necklace and a couple of bracelets. Julius Diderichen is the master behind Countess Danner's parure.

The huge bracelet is from Princess Vilhelmine Marie. His spouse King Frederik VII gifted her the bracelet around 1828. The bracelet is usually stores at Rosenborg in Copenhagen. Queen Caroline Amalie's tiara will also be seen at Rosenborg after the couple return home from Finland.

Meeting with Simon Kjær Hansen


21 February 2025

Queen Mary's Center is estimated to be inaugurated in 2026. The construction of the new center began three years ago launched on occasion of Queen Mary's 50th birthday. She has been a close partner all the way. Among others as member of the Queen Mary's Center's Advisory Committee.

On February 21st the Queen hosted a meeting at Frederik VIII's Palace with the center's CEO Simon Kjær Hansen. They discussed the center's five years businessplan.



We haven't seen Mary for quite a while. The family have enjoyed a few weeks vacation abroad. Among others they have been spotted in Australia. Now she is back at work. On February 21st she hosted the meeting with attendance of Søren Kjær Hansen, CEO of the Queen Mary's Center. Mary looked great in her reused Jesper Høvring blouse and simple black trousers. The belt is also a reuse. Still not identified. Super classy outfit.

She embraced the style with beloved diamond earrings from Sophie Bille Brahe and a couple of rings. She topped of the look with Gucci glasses - and likely black pointed pumps.

Premiere of "Jeppe på Bjerget"


23 January 2025

On Thursday King Frederik and Queen Mary attended the grand premiere of the play "Jeppe på Bjerget" - a comedy by famous Danish writer Ludvig Holdberg. They watched the play from the royal balcony at The Royal Theatre in Copenhagen.

"Jeppe på Bjerget" was written in 1722. It portraits the story of a farmer (Jeppe) struggling in life after years on the battlefield. He cope with the aftermath by drinking. On day the Baron and his people find Jeppe in a pit. They are mocking him and yet they play a prank on him. They make him believe that he is the Baron. Powers takes over and he end up treating others like he was treated. Once again he is found in the pit and is then sentenced to death as another and final practical joke. One last humiliation.



Mary's velvet suit reminded me of her sister-in-laws outfit when attending a return event in December last year. Princess Marie, Mary and even Princess Benedikte have loved wearing velvet lately. I am pretty sure Mary wore a brand new black velvet suit. I have not been able to identify it yet. Any ideas? Photos makes it hard to look for specific details. She beautifully matched the suit with a reused white Jesper Høvring blouse.

Love that she accessorized the outfit with golden jewellery. She first wore the stunning diamond earrings from Rosing at the gala premiere at "Ehrengard" in September 2023. Really like the design: cool and edgy yet elegant and soft. Seems like everybody have completely forgotten about the necklace. In fact Mary has worn it before at the opening of the "Global Fashion Summit" on May 2024. It was identify as a vintage Dior necklace.

Did you know that Mary first wore the chic Louis Vuitton clutch in 2009? Back then she matched her new clutch with a Temperly London dress at the "Sports Gala" in Herning. A great match with the suede studded Gianvito Rossi pumps!

Meeting with the Kidney Association


25 November 2024

Queen Mary hosted a meeting with the Kidney Association to be given an update on the association's current and forthcoming activities.

CEO Michael Buksti and National Chairwoman Malene Deele executed the briefing. It took place at Frederik VIII's Palace at Amalienborg.

The Kidney Association works for people with kidney disease, offer support  and advice to their relatives and donors. Queen Mary has been patron of the Kidney Association since 2005.



Mary hosted the meeting after she having attended the reveal of a new monument along with Danner earlier today. This is possibly the main reason why she was wearing the exact same outfit: her stunning bordeaux Jesper Høvring blouse and likely her SKALL Studio trouser.

She also wore her beloved Gucci glasses and beautiful golden earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry.

Reveal of a new monument


25 November 2024

Chairwoman of the board of Danner Vibeke Abel accompanied artist Kirsten Justesen to welcome the Queen, when she arrived at Nansensgade in Copenhagen. She was guest of honor at the reveal of a four meter bronze sculpture created by Kirsten Justesen.

The sculpture is facing Dannerhuset (the Danne House) once established by Countess Danner. Today, Danner is a private humanitarian organisation. They work to create opportunities that changes the situations for women and children exposed to violence.

Countess Danner (born Louise Christine Rasmussen) was the wife of King Frederik VII. She spend much of her fortune on vulnerable women and children.

Today, is also the day of UN International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.



Her outfit was really well-chosen. Love how she matched her delicate bordeaux Jesper Høvring V-neck blouse with chic checkered trousers from SKALL Studio. Makes a great look! The old Prada coat was a brilliant touch. Always loved the little brown "belt". Splendid detail. Wonderful how she styled it with light brown leather gloves (possibly new) and her reused Anya Hindmarch handbag.

What is not to like? I really also like the elegant pieces of jewellery she had chosen. Those fine golden earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and that brooch! I am a huge fan of brooches. Wish we would wear them more often. I have way too many myself.

We get a glimpse of her heeled brown Prada boots. Love wide-legged trousers and heeled boots.
