Day 2. Visiting Vanuatu, Fiji and Australia

24 April, 2023

Crown Princess Mary and Minister for Development Cooperation and Global Climate Policy Dan Jørgensen had a busy day ahead of them right from the morning, when they were officially welcomed by Vanuatu's Government. The ceremony took place in Port Vila.

Related to the official welcoming, the Crown Princess then met with Vanuatu's President, Nikenike Vurobaravu. Then followed a visit to Etas. With help from UN, the organization ADRA has created a number of initiatives for women in Etas and other vulnerable areas in Vanuatu.

After lunchtime, the attended an event about the climate at University of the South Pacific. On that occasion, she gave a speech (here) and engaged conversations with the students at the university.

I love when Mary wear colourful and printed dressed. I was thrilled, when realizing she was wearing this incredible reused Zimmermann dress. It looks soooo good on her. The colours are spot on. Beautiful next to her fair skin and brown hair.

She styled the outfit with delicate white South Sea freshwater pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry. That coloured bracelet is also a creation by Dulong Fine Jewelry. Custom-made. Mary has quite a few of these bracelets. I get why she loves them so much.

Her other golden bracelets are designs from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and Rebekka Notkin. About now, you all know that her necklaces are from Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau. Love it, when she wears more than one necklace. Her golden ring is also Rebekka Notkin.

I do not see a bag, but I imagine it to be brown if she wore one. Then it would match both hair and the leather sandals from Gianvito Rossi.

GOING TO FIJI

In the evening, the Crown Princess was ready to take off to Fiji - another destination on this official visit in the Pacific.

●

Green linen trousers! What a win. Those I love and they look so good with that simple creamy white linen blazer. To me both trousers and blazer are new. I have not been able to identify either of them yet. Any ideas? She matched it with a simple white t-shirt.

When Mary wear these casual outfits, I really fancy that she accessorizes it with fine pieces of jewellery. Like the Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau necklaces, and the Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen diamond bracelet. Rebekka Notkin is the creator of that solid golden bangle and the stunning ring.

The Chanel sling-back flats made a great accessory with the rest of the look. So did the wonderful Ralph Lauren leather bag.

Day 1. Visiting Vanuatu, Fiji and Australia

23 April, 2023

Not that long ago, the royal court announced that the Crown Princess was going go visit Vanuatu, Fiji and Australia from April 23rd to 28th. The visit is centered around consequences from climate changed in the pacific region.

She is accompanied by the Minister for Development Cooperation and Global Climate Policy Dan Jørgensen.

On her first day, she visited Vanuatu who was just struck by two cyclones and two earthquakes. She and Dan Jørgensen attended a meeting with Vanuatu's minister of climate changes. 

Later on, they paid a visit to locals at Pele Island. They suffered a great deal when the cyclones and earthquakes recently hit Vanuatu.

Minister for Development Cooperation and Global Climate Policy Dan Jørgensen also accompanied the Crown Princess, when she was briefed about the political situation on Vanuatu, Fiji and in the region of UN's delegation in the Pacific.

Mary looked beautiful during her day in Vanuatu. I still have not been identify either blouse or that brand new printed maxi skirt. Had a few ideas where to find it, but I was not lucky. Do you happen to recognize this amazing skirt?

She embraced the outfit with plenty of stunning accessories. I learned from UFO No More that her new blue beads earrings are from MaRe. I am not sure, I am the biggest fan but I love the fact that they matched the skirts hemline.

Mary also wore beloved necklaces from Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau. A close look revealed bracelets from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and Dulong Fine Jewelry. What looks like a bracelet, is a Kknekki hair tie.

Her golden ring is a custom-made piece by Dulong Fine Jewelry and that other diamond ring is an Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen design.

A few photos showed her carrying a reused Chloe cross-body bag in brown leather. She topped it off with old snakeskin sandals from Prada.

Business promotion visit in Milan

17 April, 2023

When Crown Princess Mary visited Milan on April 17th, it was as head of a business delegation of 17 Danish companies, Danish Industry, Creative Denmark and the Danish embassy. She was accompanied by Morten Bødskov the Danish Minister of Business.

The business promotion visit was with focus on Danish design solutions created by a proud tradition of craftsmanship. It was also the purpose of the exhibition "This is Denmark". Crown Princess Mary attended the opening of this exhibition to create awareness of Danish design and sustainability.

Later, she participated the roundtable meeting "New European Bauhaus Project - DESIRE, Designing the Irresistible Circular Society".

Before dinner time, Mary wore a really beautiful Designers Remix skirt and matching blouse from Jesper Høvring. Actually, the skirt was once a dress (here) but some years later, she had it altered from dress to skirt (here). It is made of 100% recycled polyester from plastic bottles. A clear statement pretty much forgotten in the discussion of a sustainable solution used by Danish companies.

Mary embraced her outfit with stunning white South sea freshwater pearls custom-made Dulong Fine Jewelry. This has to be her all-time favourite earrings. The two golden necklaces from Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau have also become personal favourites lately.

She also styled the look with golden Cartier, Dulong Fine Jewelry and Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen bracelets. The incredible diamond ring is a Rebekka Notkin creation.

Her smashing baby blue suede pumps are a classy design by Gianvito Rossi. I learned that Mary changed to a more comfortable pair of shoes during the day. To Chanel ballet flats.

DINNER

In the evening, the Crown Princess attended a dinner hosted by Creative Denmark. Representatives from Denmark and Italy also attended the dinner, which gave all of them a great opportunity to share some last few words.

In the evening, she showed up in an old reused Prada dress. First, I truly do not like her wear these long black blazers with everything. Especially, when wearing a longer dress like this. She first wore the dress on a trip to Thailand in 2008 (here). Not to forget, when she dazzled at INDEX: Award in 2013 (here). UFO No More (here) managed to identify her new black blazer as Harris Wharf London.

At the dinner, she matched the outfit with more or less the same pieces of jewellery. Necklaces from Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau. Bracelets from Cartier, Dulong Fine Jewelry and Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

Usually, I like when she wears colour-matching clothes and accessories. Usually, she master the colours with perfection, but a the dinner I think the purple dress and purple suede Gianvito Rossi pumps are too different in colours. When wearing them in 2020, I think they matched her outfit much better (here).

Queen Margrethe's 83rd birthday!

16 April 2023

Happy Birthday to our wonderful Queen Margrethe on her 83rd birthday! Truly a day to celebrate a beloved Queen, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister and cousin.

The whole family were gathered to celebrate her in her home at Amalienborg. Prince Joachim, Princess Marie, Prince Henrik and Princess Athena had come to celebrate the Queen as well all the way from France. Prince Nicolai and Prince Felix were also there to honor their grandmother on her birthday.

The Queen showed up on the balcony to greet all the Danes who wanted to congratulate her from the Amalienborg Square.

We rarely see this few photos of Mary, when attending such events. But somehow, she got a seat at back raw, when the family showed at the balcony. But we do get glimpses of her, when being photographed with her own little family. It turned out that she was wearing a brand new Scanlan & Theodore suit. I learned about this new suit from UFO No More (here). The color is a bit pale but somehow Mary made it work so beautifully. She matched it with a reused white blouse from BOSS Hugo Boss.

We can only guess what pair of shoes she chose to embrace the style of the Scanlan & Theodore suit. My guess would be simple black suede pumps. Still, I like the idea of something a bit more colorful.

The white pearl earrings have to be her all-time favorite earrings. They go way back in time and she has worn them a millions times on so many different occasions (here, here, here). We also get a peep of the stunning 'F'-necklace from Halberstadt and some incredible Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen diamond rings. Like the Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings, the diamond bands have also become a favorite from the jewellery box (here, here, here).
