Presenting the "Crown Prince Couple's Prizes 2023"

Gala show at Esbjerg Music House

04 November 2023

The Bikuben Foundation gifted the Crown Prince Couple on occasion of their wedding in 2004 with these annual prizes. They aim to highlight and acknowledge extraordinary achievements of culture and social work in Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands.

Every year, the show is broadcasted live from a different Danish city. This year, the show took place in Esbjerg Music House (here).

One by one, Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary presented the winners of the Crown Prince Couple's Prizes 2023 (here).

Designer Henrik Vibskov reviewed the Culture Prize. The Social Prize was given to "Social Drive Out". The artistic and cross-aesthetic "How to Kill a Dog" won the Stardust Culture Prize and the initiative run by Esbjerg Jobcenter and "Engery for Each Other" received the Stardust Social Prize.

Mary looked like a truly movie star when attending the presentation of the Crown Prince Couple's Prizes 2023 in Esbjerg. I was thrilled to see her wear a brand new navy blue velvet dress from Rotate Birger Christensen! The dress is magnificent and PERFECT for the occasion. I simply can't get enough of this dress. Looks beautiful on her.

Love how she matched the new glitter dress with blue satin pumps from Gianvito Rossi and a reused Prada box-clutch. What is not to like? What do you think of her outfit?

I really also like the way she had her hair. Very chic and a bit edgy. Great with the elegant dress. As jewellery, Mary wore beloved necklaces from Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau. Such as custom-made diamond earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and diamond bands from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

Opening of "Global Leaders Group event on Antimicrobial Resistance"

14 April 2023

It is no secret that Crown Princess Mary has tried to make the world a better place for quite a few years now. She is committed to help children being bullied. Children living with solitude and violence. Prevent domestic violence, child marriages, death when giving birth. This is just a few examples of her commitment and support in the community.

On Friday, the Crown Princess attended the opening of "Global Leaders Group event on Antimicroial Resistance". Resistance to antibiotics is often called the silent pandemic, which has become a serious issue globally. This resistance has is impact on both us and animals.

The conference has its purpose to create new partnerships across sectors and borders all to prevent and treat this antimicrobial resistance.

Crown Princess Mary gave the opening speech (here).

When attending the opening of the "Global Leaders Group event on Antimicrobial Resistance" conference, Mary had chosen til wear old goodies. The stunning floral printed dress is a ROTATE design by Birger Christensen. She has worn it before, when attending Copenhagen Fashion Week in 2019 (here) and at the opening of Odense Flower Festival (here). At the conference, Mary matched the beautiful dress with a reused Helmut Lang blazer.

She embraced the outfit with dazzling pieces of jewellery. The delicate Rose Quartz earrings are custom-made by Dulong Fine Jewelry. A beloved pair of earrings, just as the couple of diamond rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. We also get a glimpse of her Halberstadt "F"-necklace.

The black suede Jimmy Choo pumps looks really good with the rest of her outfit. Something I always admired about Mary's style is how she wears color matching outfits. Black blazer + black belt + black shoes. Dusty pink earrings + different pink colored dress.

Opening of "Odense Flower Festival 2019"

August 15, 2019

For the fourth time, Crown Princess Mary attended the grand opening of Odense Flower Festival in Odense. She first attended in 2006, here. Then in 2012 - the same year Crown Princess Mary became patron for the festival, here. Again in 2017, here, and then now in 2019. Each year the Crown Princess has named a new flower. Two years ago a new rose got its name. This year it was a hydrangeas that got the name 'Princess of Passion'. A beautiful flower, here.

Odense Flower Festival gathered more than 100,000 different plants that decorate the city of Odense. Different themes set who the city is decorated. This years theme was "On a time-travel: With time in the center". A magnificent name.

From right at the moment Crown Princess Mary arrived everybody wanted her attention. Everyone smiled, waved and called to get a glimpse of her. She returned bouquets of flowers with kind smiles and handshakes. Peter Rahbæk Juel, Mayor of Odense warmly welcomed the Crown Princess at the arrival. What a pleasure to have a Crown Princess in town when such a big event is taking place. During her visit she met with both gardeners and volunteers, who created all of the stunning flower decorations.

What else then a floral dress for the opening of a flower festival? I absolutely love that Mary showed up I this reused Rotate dress all covered in colorful flowers. It is both kinda obvious for her to wear such dress and clever. Don't think I would have guessed for her to wear floral print. Had you guessed it? Once before she has worn this incredible Rotate dress. It was when she Rotate's show at Copenhagen Fashion Week on January 31st 2019, here. Back then we didn't really get a close look at the dress because she also was wearing a rather large black blazer. But not this time.

Mary decided to wear a reused belt as well. A lovely burgundy belt with an asymmetric closure. I never been able to identify where it is from, but she first wore it with her ArtFusion dress in August 8th last year, here. And then again when visiting Holstebro in October 2016, here. Have you ever seen anything like it? It is very different, but I like how it is all asymmetric and colorful.

As jewellery Mary embraced the style with old earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a ring from that same designer. Two outstanding pieces of jewellery. Simple, yet elegant and fashionable year after year. I wonder if she was also wearing some bracelets? It is likely, but I don't have any picture to prove it. She was also wearing her Nadia Shelbaya necklace. The beautiful and simple pumps are from legendary Christian Louboutin.
