The presentation of Hjerteforeningens research grants

Monday, October 8th

Monday, the Crown Princess was back at work. She began a new week by attending visiting Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen. Following she attended the presentation Hjerteforeningens research grants taking place at Hotel d'Angleterre.

When visiting Rigshospitalet the Crown Princess was guest of honor at the cardiovascular clinic. Among other things, she watched heart scan. Also she listened to a short presentation about congenital heart disease. It is my impression that the Crown Princess found the visit outmost interesting and informative.

Once again she participated in handing over Hjerteforeningens research grants at Hotel d'Angleterre in Copenhagen. Usually it is a wonderful sight to follow. The children attending just loves being around the Crown Princess and vice versa. Everybody was in a great spirit. The same happened, when she handed over the two research grants to Lars Søndergaard and Christian Torp-Pedersen. Congratulations to two of them with the prestiges honor of receiving these research grants.

When both visiting Rigshospitalet and presenting Hjerteforeningens research grants, Mary was beautifully dressed. She looked chic wearing a brand new dark red blouse and grey trousers. What a combination of colors. Heaven shared her findings on the blouse with me. It is identified as a Hugo Boss creation. Stunning. Many different designers crossed my mind when trying to find her new trousers. I found nothing. But Heaven did. She managed to identify her trousers as well. They are from Céline.

Mary then belted her new trousers with a belt seen a couple of times before. A rather untraditional belt. Despite the significant closure I have not yet been able to find its creator. She also matched her wonderful autumn outfit with what looks like black pointed pumps and her Quidam clutch made of the finest, quality leather. My guess would be that she is wearing her Gianvito Rossi pumps.

Beautifully Mary embraced this outfit by wearing outstanding jewellery. Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen made her diamond earrings and a couple of her diamond rings. Stunning pieces. I have always been almost hypnotized by Lynggaard Copenhagen's jewellery.

Not long ago she added a new piece to her jewellery box: a diamond floral necklace. Eventually it was found by one of my readers at Tiffany. This is the fourth time Mary wears her magnificent necklace, here, here, here. Let me know what you think about her outfit from Monday.

Opening of the Danish Parliament 2018

Tuesday, October 2nd

It is that time a year: the annual opening of the Danish Parliament. Every year, the first Tuesday in October, members of the Parliament (officially) come back from vacation. It is also time to inaugurate a new year for Folketinget. All that is celebrated with a grand opening at Christiansborg Castle in Copenhagen. Half of the castle act like home for the Danish Parliament and the other half is room for gala dinners, state visits, etc. As a tradition the Danish royal family was also invited to attend the opening.

First Princess Benedikte arrived to Christiansborg, shortly followed by Prince Joachim and Princess Marie. Then the Crown Prince couple arrived and last Queen Margrethe was welcomed. All four women were welcomed with beautiful bouquet of flowers. The family greeted with kisses and smiles.

Everybody raises for the Queen when she finds her seat on the balcony next to her oldest son. Surrounded by her two sons, both daughters-in-law and her sister the Queen watched the opening of the Parliament 2018.

Annual events are always something I look forward to. Makes a great possibility to compare outfits. I can't help myself from comparing Mary's outfit from yesterday with previous looks. Honestly I had expected something completely else. More like the outfit worn by her sister-in-law. Knee-length coat, pointed pumps and some kind of fancy hat. That is not what we got.

Instead Mary was wearing a brand new tweed skirt, black double breasted jacket and matching accessories. What caught my eyes first is by no doubt her new skirt. I was not the only one (hysterically) trying to identify the designer. I had different brands in mind. Non of them matched. Late last night I learned from Heaven that Le style de Mary, here, had managed to find what everybody else was looking for. Mary's new skirt is from Oscar de la Renta. Do you like it?

As mentioned, she matched the skirt with a before unseen double breasted jacket. A reader shared its identity with my - it is from Andiata (collection: AW18) She embraced the style by wearing a couple of black accessories. First we have a velvet hat made by milliner Susanne Juul (it has been confirmed by the designer herself), an expensive leather clutch from Quidam and classy black heels from Gianvito Rossi. Somehow I do not recall if we have seen these pumps before or if they could be new. She has so many pairs of black pumps that I have a hard time recalling all of them.

She also accessorized her look with ruby earrings, diamond rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and a golden Dulong Fine Jewelry bracelet. Such as the beautiful diamond necklace from Tiffany. What a treat.

Flag Day 2018

September, Wednesday 5th

For several years the Crown Princes couple have showed their respect and support to both soldiers and their families by attending 'the Flag Day' for Denmark's deployed soldiers. The ceremony goes back to 2009 and aim to honor deployed soldiers and their efforts, provided in a number of the world's conflict areas.

This year the Crown Princess attended on her own because of her husbands surgery. Crown Princess Mary was guest of honor. She attended a couple of different events on occasion of 'the Flag Day'. First she arrive to Kastellet to place a wreath to show support and to honor those who devote their life to make a difference. The world stood still for a minute in silence. Representatives from both the Danish Home Guard, the Police force, Emergency Management and Veterans, among others, did also attend the ceremony at Kastellet.

The Crown Princess attended a church service in Holmens Church - where Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine were christened. The memorial service was to honor those we lost in battle. Later on she attended a parade at Thorvaldsens Square near Christiansborg Castle in Copenhagen.

Crown Princess Mary was not the only royal family member who was present at 'the Flag Day'. Prince Joachim and Princess Marie attended several events on the same occasion in Fredericia.

Showing her support to Danish soldiers on Wednesday Mary was dressed in the most incredible layered dress from A.L.C. I learned about its identify from Heaven, but Samantha was able to find it. A first glance I was sure we had seen the dress before a couple of year ago at a Christmas event at Christiansborg Castle in 2016, here. It was told to be new so I could not be her old one, right? Then a couple of you shared your thoughts about her dress and expressed that it looked a lot like the one from 2016. The dress is actually also included in the ultimate shopping guide to fall 2016, here. Nevertheless it has now been identified - and it looks amazing on her. She belted her outfit with a Céline belt.

Mary embraced the style by wearing numerous incredible accessories. First of all she wore one of her Susanne Juul hats that goes way back in time. I do not know when we first saw it, but it is many years ago. She has it in a few other colours too. I see what looks like diamond earrings from Hartmanns and that new flower necklace embellished with clear and shiny diamonds from Tiffany (collection: Paper Flowers). I hope for a clear close-up one day. Other than this Mary dazzled in nude patent pumps from Christian Louboutin.

Her hair and makeup was flawless as usual. For year and year I have been in love with the chignon. First it looks great for both day and night events. Second a chignon can be chic and messy, but also straight and more professional. Look for inspiration - I am sure you are going to love this updo as much as I do. Think I have advocated for the hairstyle many times before.

The Carlsberg Foundations Research Awards 2018

September, Sunday 2nd

What a pleasure it was to follow the French Presidential couples visit in Denmark. Both the Crown Princes couple, the Queen and the rest of the Danish royal family seemed to enjoy this state visit very much. If you missed anything from the couples two days in Denmark, then you can find much more, here and here.

Crown Princess Mary is back at work. On Sunday around dinner time she arrived to Glyptoteket in Copenhagen. She was about to present 'the Carlsberg Foundations Research Awards 2018'. With each award comes one million Danish kroner - DKK 750,000 are for research related activities; the rest are a personal reward to the winners themselves. For more than five years the Crown Princess has handed over the prestige awards, here, here, here, here, here. 'The Carlsberg Foundations Research Award' was first handed over in 2011, but I am not quite sure if the Crown Princess attended the first two years.

On stage she was this year accompanied by Minister of Research, Tommy Ahlers and CEO of the Carlsberg Foundation, Flemming Besenbacher. With a great smile on her face, she presented the two winners of the research award 2018 Professor Tim Bollerslev and Professor Poul Nissen. Congratulations to both of them with the award and honoring. The ceremony was followed by a dinner in which the Crown Princess also attended.

Each time we get to see Mary at this very special event; we also get to see some pretty amazing outfits which is why I had high exceptions. Something I rarely have. At the moment I can't tell if I am positively surprised or a bit disappointed. I had expected something completely else than this black dress. A black dress would do great for the event - maybe not just this dress. Actually I thought it would take much longer to identify this dress. Then yesterday it was found by one of you at Adam Lippes. He is a new designer to me. Neither do I think Mary has worn any of his designs before. Interesting to see if she will wear his creations again. So, tell me what you think about her new dress. Is the fringe a quality detail or way too much?

So the dress features a hemline of fringes. It is belted and has an interesting neckline. Let me know if you have any possible designers in mind. I am struggling.

For the new dress Mary had chosen to embrace the style by wearing cap-toe pointed from from Gianvito Rossi - seen on several different occasions. She also wore one of her old Prada clutches which features a lovely blue colour and embellished stones. It was first seen at the royal wedding of Prince Albert and Charlene Wittstock in Monaco, here. Do you remember it? Somehow I completely forgot about this clutch.

Other than Rossi pumps and a Prada clutch she was wearing diamond earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry, a few bracelets from among others Cartier and Annikat. And a brand new necklace. A reader suggested Tiffany (collection: Paper Flowers) as creator and from their response I no longer wonder about it's identity. But tell me what you think.
