Opening of the conference 'Child in the City'

Monday, September 29th

Crown Princess Mary attended the official opening of the conference Child in the City at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense. 


It was on occasion of the conference Child in the City that Crown Princess Mary visited the University of Southern Denmark in Odense. Before officially opening the conference, she inaugurated a new children's playground. Arriving to the University of Southern Denmark Mary was warmly welcomed by a flower girl and four ballerina dancers. All five were so sweet. Mary couldn't hold a wide smile back. Everywhere she walked plenty of people tried to get her attention and it worked. She was everywhere. Receiving flowers, greetings, paintings, handshakes etc. I was a wonderful day and Mary was in a splendid mood. Wish I had been there to feel the atmosphere myself. She is present in a very special way. 

Mary was dressed in a mix of new and reused clothes when she attended opening of both the new playground and conference in Odense. She wore a new creamy white blouse featuring lace on front and long sleeves. It has been identified Rosemunde Copenhagen. Over, we have a black reused blazer which is from Helmut Lang. What makes this a bit more special that others, is the leather trim. Smashing detail! The blazer was matched by a pair of The black capri trousers, that could be Elise Gug. The beautiful white pearl earrings are from the Marianne Dulong such as the rather large pearl ring. As the great owner of Tesouras & Tiaras made me aware of a the pink bracelet which is quite popular among Danish children. This was given to her as a gift from one of the children. Last, but not least we have her Christian Louboutin pumps, making a great statement along with the minimalistic outfit. Still, her smile is the absolute best part.

The Crown Prince Couple’s Prizes 2014

Saturday, September 27th

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary attended the presentation of the Crown Prince Couple’s Prizes 2014. It took place in the Music House in Aalborg.

It is now ten year since the Crown Prince Couple’s Prizes were founded on this annual event. The Crown Prince couple's awards are given in collaboration with the Bikuben Foundation who plays a significant role because this was their gift to the couple on behalf of their weeding back in 2004. This is the couple's way to honor Danish artists of all kinds and I am sure it is something they really look forward to. Looking at their faces at the arrival I believe they were more than ready to enjoy the evening together with the rest of Denmark -the show was broadcasted live on Danish television which I of course had to watch. And what a show! The couple handed over DKK 50,000 to the Stardust winners actor Johanne Louise Schmidt and photographer Lærke Posselt. The Crown Prince Couple’s Culture Prize was given, along with DKK 500,000, to furniture designer Cecilie Manz. Last, but not least DKK 500,000 given TUBA who received the Social Prize. Congratulations to all the winners!! You do a great job. 

I thought you might be interested in all her previous outfit during the last ten years. Because of this little "anniversary" I think it's time to share pictures of her other outfits from previous awards: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 & 2013.

This year Mary was dressed in a reused pink Prada dress, similar to a coat of hers which she had chosen not to wear yesterday evening. 2004 is the first time we saw it, when Frederik and her visited Aarhus. Then again in 2009 on occasion of Prince Henrik turing 75 years old, and again in 2012 on occasion of Queen Margrethe’s 40 years as Queen of Denmark. Everything from the dress to the accessories was a perfect fit. She wore earrings, a bracelet, a ring and two of three hair pins made from the leafs on her ruby tiara. As you know was the red ruby parure something the Crown Princess inherited from his grandmother Queen Ingrid. The little clutch, which of course also matched the rest of the outfit, is handmade by Naledi Copenhagen (AW11-12). I will not hide that I have had some trouble figuring out where exactly her glitter leopard pumps are from. At first I thought Gianvito Rossi. Then I was convinced Rupert Sanderson was the designer, but I keep coming back to Gianvito Rossi. Now I finally have the proof; a close up of the shoes and now there is no doubt in my mind. I really can't get enough of Mary's evening outfit. The pink colours looks incredibly on her especially because of her dark brown hair. As always, her makeup was flawless!

4 years with Style of Mary!


I can't believe 'Style of Mary' turns 4 years old today!! It is now four years since I started the and from the beginning it has been a pleasure to write about my great passion – Crown Princess Mary and her amazing sense of style. Within a very short time it became clear to me that there were many others who shared the same interest as me and many of those who have been there from the start are still a big part of the work I do today. It always makes me so happy when someone writes to me and want to be part of the community I have tried to create here on the blog. Everyone should try to be a part of a royal community, it is simply wonderful! I enjoy every day. I have met so many great, nice, sweet, cool, amazing people that have come to mean a lot to me. I want you to try that. Although I have been lucky to get on the team behind Royalista, my first priority will always be Style of Mary and I hope you will continue to follow me. Is there a better way to celebrate such a day than with the Royal Couple Awards 2014 as they will presented tonight?! I don't think so. Thanks for all the joy you bring into my life on a daily basis and let's keep on sharing our passion about the incredible Crown Princess Mary of Denmark!

400th anniversary concert for the Army

Wednesday, September 24th

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary attended a gala concert on the occasion of the Army's 400th anniversary of the Opera, Copenhagen. Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik, Prince Joachim and Princess Benedikte also attended from the Danish royal family. 


It was along with over 300 special invited guests, that five members of the Danish royal family were invited to attend the celebration of the Army's 400th anniversary. On this occasion a gala concert was held in the Opera, Copenhagen. One by one, arrived the royal guests to the Opera and were warmly welcomed. It was a rather cold evening, so a warm welcoming ceremony was differently needed. Still, they all seemed in a splendid mood at the arrival. You may wonder why Prince Joachim was going on his own without his wife, but the fact is that Princess Marie was on official visit in New York. The concert lasted over three hours and I'm sure they all had a great evening. 

Although it was a windy and cold evening when the royal family arrived, Mary had decided to wear a knee-length floral Dolce & Gabbana dress featuring beautiful red and white flowers. We have seen it once before, here, at a 80th birthday. No way better then matching the dress with red ruby jewellery from Queen Ingrid's ruby parure -a rudy red bracelet and earrings also featuring diamonds. Don't you think it looks just incredible with the floral dress? It is not often we see Mary wearing nail polish, but in honor of the occasion she had chosen a love burgundy colour. Because of the weather, she kept warm in rather large black shawl over the shoulders and in her hand she wore a little black clutch. Still not identified. Then of course we have the black pointed pumps which are from Rupert Sanderson. The shape is simply smashing! I truly understand if the Crown Prince was proud of his wife, because she looked outstanding next to him who was in his green uniform.
