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.

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).

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

Day 1. Bornholm

19 August 2024

Arrival at Rønne harbour

This morning, King Frederik and Queen Mary arrived with Danneborg at Rønne harbour at the island of Bornholm. It is their first day summer touring around Denmark. Bornholm is their first stop of four. Tomorrow they will dock at Ærø - another small island.

The royal couple were then taken for a carriage ride around Rønne. So many people had showed up to get a glimpse of the King and Queen.

They were officially welcomed at Rønne Theater. Later on, the couple visited Bornholm's Center of Craftsmanship in Hasle.

Didn't really know what to expect of her outfit today, but this was not it. Nevertheless, I really like what she was wearing visiting Rønne at Bornholm. Mary dazzled in a reused white Paul & Joe blouse and simple black wide-legged trousers. That brand new long tweed vest has been identified as WEILL. I see where she is going with this outfit but somehow I do not feel that she quite successed. What is your opinion?

Mary differently nailed the accessory-part! Her stunning navy blue hat is a creation by Jane Taylor. They perfectly matched the suede pointed pumps from Jimmy Choo.

The diamond earrings are beloved ones from Sophie Bille Brahe and the three golden necklaces are Halberstadt and Dulong Fine Jewelry. Seems like she is very fond of the trio. Same goes with the bracelet. Two of them are also from Dulong Fine Jewelry and her shiny ring is Rebekka Notkin.

A day at Bornholm

After a quite change of clothes, the couple showed up at Ekkodalen. A famous spot to see when visiting Bornholm. They went for a walk from Ekkodalen to Hareløkke.

King Frederik and Queen Mary visited 'Food Bornholm'. They also enjoyed outdoor lunch in Hareløkke. Later on, they visited the beautiful Østerlars Church famous for its found shape going back to the Nights Templar.

Before spending a little time off before hosting a reception on board Dannebrog, they couple visited 'Det Gamle Elværk - Baltic Energy Island'.

What is not to like? - the couple are wearing matching trousers! That is so cute. Mary's trousers are differently new. They look like rust red linen trousers. Any ideas where to find them? I'd love to hear your thoughts. She styled them with a new white Closed blouse. Love the casual vibe, especially when she added her structured Harris Wharf London blazer.

Walking in Ekkodalen, Mary wore her cool soft pink NIKE sneakers. Later on, she changed to a pair of old ballet flats from Prada. Wish I was a ballet-flat-girl. I'm not. Are you?

The fine golden jewellery are from Sophie Bille Brahe, Halberstadt, Dulong Fine Jewelry and Rebekka Notkin. Her chic tortoise-like sunglasses are Michael Kors. Mary first wore them on a visit to Mali in 2017.

We only have a few photos from the reception showing the couple waving goodby from the royal yacht. What strike me, is the couple. They good so happy and comfortable. Wish we had some photos of Mary's evening outfit but at least we have something to work with.

Mary looked beautiful in a reused ArtFusion Copenhagen dress. A soft pink floral dress first worn at Copenhagen Fashion Summit in 2018. A year later, she wore the magnificent dress again for a dinner honoring actors of sustainable fashion. Mary embraced todays outfit wearing the same golden belt. Perfectly matched with her Dulong Fine Jewelry bracelets.

Day 1. Official visit from Norway

15 June 2023

BUSINESS CONFERENCE

King Harald and wife Queen Sonja of Norway are on official visit in Denmark these days. They were warmly welcomed by Queen Margrethe earlier in the morning.

In the afternoon, the Crown Prince Couple accompanied the pair at a business conference at Dansk Industri in Copenhagen (here).

I'm always a big fan of her reused outfits! It's very inspirational to see how little has to change before it looks like a completely new outfit. That is what happened at the business conference at Dansk Industri. 

Mary embraced the style of an old outfit - a stunning blue Victoria Beckham blouse and a floral printed Paul & Joe skirt. She first wore this look at the inauguration of Herlev's new emergency room and women-child center in 2021 (here).

As jewellery, Mary had chosen magnificent aquamarine earrings purchased at Bruun Rasmussen Auction many years ago. Actually, she first wore them in 2004! The golden bangle is from Rebekka Notkin and her delicate diamond rings are from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

A closer look revealed that Mary was also wearing a brand new P. Hertz bracelet. Amazing piece of work. Hope we are going to see this bracelet many more times from now on.

The fine quilted handbag is a Chanel design and a wonderful match with the beige python pumps from Gianvito Rossi.

DINNER, AMALIENBORG

It had already been a wonderful day for the King and Queen of Norway since they arrived in Copenhagen. They were welcomed by Queen Margrethe, when they arrived by ship from Oslo. Around noon, the Crown Prince Couple accompanied the three of them for a business conference.

In the evening, King Harald and Queen Sonja were invited to dinner with Queen Margrethe as hostess. Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary also attended the dinner taking place at Chrisitan VII's Palace at Amalienborg (here).

The arrival and following dinner were broadcasted live on Danish tv (here).

Mary was dressed like a cotton candy dream wearing her reused MaxMara evening gown. She first wore the gown in 2017, when attending the 80th birthday celebration of King Harald and Queen Sonja (here). I love the idea of her wearing the exact same dress now in Denmark honoring their visit.

When did she wear it best? In 2017 or now in 2023.

At the dinner, Mary embraced the dreamy evening outfit with a reused tiara and matching earrings. She has worn this combo on a number of different occasion since 2015. The tiara was then purchased at Bruun Rasmussen.

Her fine 'F'-necklace is her beloved Halberstadt creation. A beautiful dedication to her husband. At the dinner, Mary matched it with a "new" necklace. Till now, she has worn the 'F'-necklace with a Julie Sandlau necklace. This second one is still unidentified. The same goes with her bracelets and huge ring.

The golden leather pumps are old ones from Manolo Blahnik. I always had the idea that these pumps are suuuuuuper comfortable to wear. I have heard that Blahnik's should be really good heels for all-day wear.

Mary also embraced the evening style with a SERPUI box clutch.

Day 2. ICPD+25 High Level Commission meeting in Zanzibar

10th November 2022

Crown Princess Mary is in Tanzania, Zanzibar as member of the High Level Commission for ICPD+25. She arrived a day earlier (here).

On her second day, the Crown Princess had an exciting and important launch to attend. The launch of a staus report with 1300 promises. Promises given in 2019 in Nairobi. Something, which Crown Princess Mary witnessed herself, because she was in Nairobi three years ago (here) (here).

She also participated a meeting with other members of the High Level Commission.

The lack of photos from her visit in Tanzania is impressing. It is truly a more "private" visit with clearly very few photographers. Few and kinda blurry photos always makes it more difficult to identify what Mary is wearing. I had some help from Heaven, who managed to identify her lovely new printed dress. It is from Zimmermann. Indeed the style, right?

I also recognized the three golden necklaces as worn the previous day. I can identify two of them, which is a Dulong Fine Jewelry design and Halberstadt creation. Dulong Fine Jewelry are also the creators of her custom-made bracelet with colorful stones. She has similar ones, but I believe this is new. Her other golden cuff is Dulong Fine Jewelry as well.

It takes good eyes to spot what heels Mary was wearing. Heaven had those sharp eyes. Mary dazzled wearing brown heeled sandals from Gianvito Rossi.

Meeting with members of the High Level Commission

Mary participated a meeting with other members of the High Level Commission. She changed outfit. I am in love with what she wore. With I was able to wear lighter colours like these. Mary had chosen to wear a reused Paul & Joe blouse featuring incredible details. The trousers are brand new from Chloe. What a shape.

The photos from this meeting are really poor. Nevertheless, we get a blurry glimpse of her Dulong Fine Jewelry necklace matched with two other golden necklaces. The shorter one is a Halberstadt creation. I imagine her having a simple ponytail for this look. The hairstyle showed stunning diamond earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry.

By the way. Did you noticed that Mary wore BRAND NEW GLASSES! They look so good on her. I cannot wait to identify them, but I need better photos. A logo would be nice too. Keep your fingers crossed.

Day 2. Business promotion visit in Vietnam

02 November 2022

The Crown Prince Couple had already had a wonderful first day in Hanoi, Vietnam, mostly joined by each other. On their second day, the couple also spend time on their own. 

In the morning, Crown Princess Mary visited Xuan Thanh Cement Factory, which is one of the largest cement factories in the world. The Xuan Thanh Cement Factory are working together with the Danish company FLSmidt, who helped them develop to become a more energy efficient company. Crown Princess Mary was introduced to some of the solutions on how to make the cement industry more energy efficient, when producing the cement.

Later on, she and representative from the Danish business delegation (who are accompanying the Crown Prince Couple in Vietnam) met with the The People's Committee from Hà Nams. 

Crown Princess Mary also was given inside in on of LEGO's "Build the Change"-workshops. The workshop is all about strengthing children's creativity, ability to problem solve and how they communicate. During the visit, she met with students participating one of LEGO's workshops. All in the age between nine and ten.

During her second day in Vietnam, Mary had chosen a wonderful outfit. Summery and light. Not something you would wear in Denmark at the moment. Nevertheless, Mary looked stunning in her old Elise Gug blouse and Paul & Joe skirt. This is truly "how to look luxurious" with only two pieces. A combo like this is easy to wear and always a winner.

Her adding bright red suede Gianvito Rossi pumps to her outfit, made it even more outstanding. I LOVE when she wears colourful accessories. Especially, shoes. Makes the outfit stand out in a more elegant and classy way. And they matched the skirt. Even the Hugo Boss handbag matched with both shoes and skirt, because of the smashing red leather.

As jewellery, she wore only golden pieces. I see two rings crafted by Dulong Fine Jewelry. They are also the creators of that white pearl bracelet. Meanwhile, Rebekka Notkin is the designer of her golden cuff. We get a sneak peak of a necklace. I believe it is the same necklace as she wore the day before. The one with the children's initials. Somehow, my mind believes it is reversible. Golden at one side. Black on the other.

Her earrings are reused as well, but I have never been able to identify them. Last, but not least we have her beautiful Thierry Lasry sunglasses.

Global Fashion Summit 2022

07 June 2022

Crown Princess Mary was invited as guest of honor to attend the opening of the Global Fashion Summit 2022. The summit took place in the Opera in Copenhagen. The Crown Princess gave the prestiges opening speech in her role af patron of the Global Fashion Summit and Global Fashion Agenda - which is the organization founding the summit.

More than 1,000 representatives from all over the fashion industry were gathered in the Opera along with Crown Princess Mary to discuss (among others) who to made the industry climate neutral in 2050. The representatives participated several panel debates - so did the Crown Princess. She was also given the opportunity to visit the Innovation Forum, which is part of the summit. The Innovation Forum gathers different companies working with, among other things, restoration of recycled clothing and environmentally friendly dyeing of clothing.

Mary stunned in a complete reused outfit. The printed Paul & Joe pleated midi skirt and that simple white Elise Gug blouse are indeed a wonderful combo. It look so well-balanced and summery. The colours of that Paul & Joe skirt is absolutely amazing. A really great outfit for a warmer day and a bit colder evening. How you style such a skirt?

Our beloved Mary embraced the style by wearing rather large white pearl earrings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. I truly hope that she will be able to bring back pearl earrings, because they are such a lovely piece in your wardrobe. I am soooo old-fashion, so I own multiple pairs of pearl earrings - and necklaces. We fairly get a glimpse of her diamond band from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen, but it is there.

She topped it of with smashing baby blue suede pumps from Gianvito Rossi. I would not mind having them in my collection. No that gorgeous leather handbag from Prada. Looks good with the Gucci glasses. So, is her outfit a go or no go? I love it!

Inauguration of Herlev's new Emergency Room and Woman-Child Center

02nd June

The last week, the weather has been phenomenal. Warm with lots of sunshine. The perfect weather for an inauguration. That is exactly what Crown Princess Mary attended. She visited Herlev to inaugurate the new emergency room and woman-child center at Herlev Hospital. It includes around 300 new rooms for patinas, special designed green areas and a new Emergency Room. The two new wards are connected with a main entrance.

Crown Princess Mary arrived in a splendid mood. She was one big smile. Many were gathered close to the main entrance to get a glimpse of the Crown Princess. She took her time greeting them. Minister of Health, Magnus Heunicke and President of the Regional Council, Sophie Hæstorp Andersen gladly welcomed the her and followed her at a guided tour around the brand new facilities in Herlev.

For the official inauguration, Crown Princess Mary cut the iconic red ribbon with a (very) golden scissors. She was given a clear view of what these new facilities have in advance - several new rooms for patients, a brand new emergency room, among others a trauma department. Many of the rooms have a view of the outdoor green areas that should function recreationally and as sensory areas for patients and their families.

I think we can agree on at least one thing: Mary's outfit at the inauguration of the new emergency room and women-child center in Herlev, was absolutely stunning! She was so radiant with the warm smile and summer chic outfit. Her look was really well put together. That light blue Victoria Beckham blouse and floral printed white midi skirt from Paul & Joe are a magnificent combination. Don't you think? She has worn the blouse on quite a few previous events, but the skirt is now only seen for the second time. Mary first wore the skirt, when she attended the grand opening of Holmegaard Værk in Fensmark back in June 2020 (here).

She embraced the style by wearing lovely blue earrings and a matching ring both from Pomellato. I am impressed how well they match the blouse in color. It is almost the same shade of blue. Mary is a tru fan of golden jewellery. I get it: gold looks beautiful to her fair skin, brown eyes and dark brown hair. At the inauguration, she wore her golden bangle from Cartier and two other bracelets from talented Dulong Fine Jewelry.

Another accessory that complimented her look with true perfection, is the burgundy leather handbag from Hugo Boss. I wish these handbags would be highest fashion again. I simply love the shape and color. I still need to track down the model in the right burgundy color, but it also looks splendid in green leather as the link shows. Her beige python pumps are from Gianvito Rossi. The exact same as those from Prince Christian's confirmation on May 15th (here).

Since she started wearing a face mask, I was wondering where it could be from. Mary is not wearing the one-time-face-masks, but instead she wears reusable masks. Finally, I was able to find them at Kartó.

The opening of Holmegaard Værk

8th June

I almost cannot remember how to write these posts. It has been such a long time without any writings, but slowly it feels more natural while I am in the process. Today, Crown Princess Mary was back at work. Well, we have seen her at a couple of meetings the past month or so. But today, she was finally back attending the opening of the brand new "Holmegaard Værk". 

Holmegaard Værk is a new designmuseum capturing the essence of a long history of glass, ceramic and design. Holmegaard Glasværk goes back to the around mid-19th century. Since then the company has made some of the most iconic glass work that have become a big part of Denmark's design history.  Today, all of that are gathered at Holmegaard Værk. The new museum are both design, arts and crafts, new ways of communication these two and gatherings people.

Crown Princess Mary arrived to Fensmark in Næstved (where Holmegaard Værk is located) in a splendid mood. Maybe she had been looking forward to this day as much as we have? I think so. She was warmly welcomed by Mayor Carsten Rasmussen, Director of Museum Southeast Denmark Keld Møller Hansen and Director of Realdania Jester Nygård. All of them seemed extremely pleasant both at the arrival and during the visit.

She was one big smile and all ears. It is clear that the Crown Princess was stunned and fascinated by all the 42,000 pieces of glasswork surrounding her. Imagine all that glass at one place. Wauw, right?She was also shown and taught how champagne glass are made. They also had a little surprise for her. Bjørn Friborg from Holmegaard Værk had created a piece of art, which was given to her as a gift.

It was a treat seeing her again today and even better, she wore the most gorgeous summer outfit. Crispy white, stunning pearls, bright blue and a little floral print. Something new. Something old. You probably remember having seen that simple white Elise Gug blouse before. Actually, it has been part of her wardrobe for around seven years now. She has worn the blouse with everything from powder pink skirts and black pants suits. This time she embraced the style with a brand new pleated floral printed skirt from Paul & Joe. I learned about the skirt from Heaven.

What an incredible combo, right? You have to have fallen in love with this print. It is almost mesmerizing. No outfit without a bit of jewellery, a clutch and (of course) shoes. For this particular outfit, Mary had chosen white pearl earrings created by Dulong Fine Jewelry. They go way back in time, as with the blouse. But these earrings goes way longer back in time. To be more specific. Mary wore the earrings on April 30th 2006, here. She later added a ring matching in style - made by the same designer. Nadia Shelbaya's stunning necklace is a great addition to her outfit.

Her braided straw clutch is old news as well. Unfortunately, I have never been able to point out a designer. Have you? To my knowledge she wore it the first time at Prince Felix's confirmation in 2017. The last final touch has to be her eye-catching blue Gianvito Rossi pumps. Artwork shaped as shoes.
