Nothing like a black lace dress. Mary knows that all too well. She had chosen to wear her old Dolce & Gabbana figure hugging lace dress. She first wore this beautiful dress on a business promotion visit to Italy in November last year, here. Somehow I think it suits her better this time. I can't really tell why, but she looks more comfortable this time.

In Italy Mary embraced the style with purple suede pumps and a matching clutch. I kinda miss that splash of color. Instead she matched the rest of the outfit with black mesh pumps from Gianvito Rossi and her Sergio Rossi clutch. Great pieces of accessories. I wouldn't mind wearing those pumps for a night out. The stunning diamond earrings are old creations from Dulong Fine Jewelry. They come with other pendants as well. She completed her look with an outstanding hairdo and chic makeup.

For a day in Klampenborg, Mary had chosen to wear one of my favourite jackets from Scanlan & Theodore. I absolutely adore this piece of clothes. It looks like it was made for her. This is the third time she wears this beautiful jacket. She first wore it on the second day at the Women Deliver Conference taking place in Copenhagen in 2016, here. Two years later Mary once again appeared at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, here. At Day of Research on Wednesday Mary wore her lovely jacket with matching trousers.

She embraced the chic style by wearing simple diamond earrings and a couple of rings from the same designer - Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. The earrings goes back to at least ten years ago. Stunning pieces of work. So are the bracelets from Dulong Fine Jewelry. I always fancy when she wears multiple bracelets. Gives the outfit an edgy and playfull touch. Her stunning necklace is from Nadia Shelbaya. The clutch is from Quidam and her pumps Jimmy Choo. I have come to love these pumps quit a lot.

Queen Margrethe's 79th birthday

16 April

Queen Margrethe celebrated her 79th birthday at Marselisborg Castle in Aarhus. She was joined by the Crown Prince Couple and their four children on the big day. It is not the first time she celebrates her birthday at Marselisborg. It also happened in 2006, here, and in 2014, here. Five years ago Prince Joachim and Princess Marie, and their children also celebrated the Queen. That was not the case this year.

Many Danes showed up at castle in Aarhus to congratulate the Queen on the 79th birthday. Seems like she was in a splendid mood. Surrounded by her family, celebrated by the public and in perfect spring weather I imagine it was a wonderful day.

Both Crown Prince Frederik, Crown Princess Mary and their four children were happy faces. Prince Christian, Princess Isabella, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine received flowers from a few of the attendances and proudly handed them over to their grandmother.

The Queen herself had chosen to wear a mix of dark grey, brown and blue. She matched her outfit with a bright red lipstick. She is one good-looking woman. All the boys dazzled in causal suits, meanwhile Princess Josephine and her older sister stunned in pleated skirts. It was also noticed that Princess Isabella wore one of her mothers old coats from Massimo Dutti, here.

To celebrate her mother-in-law Mary showed up wearing an reused Martin Grant dress. When she first wore it at the premier of The Nutcracker in Tivoli in 2015, here, I completely fell in love with this dress. Especially the amazing green color. The dress comes with a bronze belt, which she flashed for the first time on the Queen's birthday. She embraced the style with a brand new green coat. Heaven managed to identify the new coat as Theory. Hope we soon get to see it again and by then get a closer look - as with the dress.

Seems like she's fan of simple accessories at the moment. Once again Mary stunned wearing a bright green ring. I still do not know where it is from, but it looks old. Then we got her brand new white pearl earrings. They feature a green stone, a star shaped diamond and white pearls. Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen now confirmed that they created her stunning earrings. I also noticed her wearing bright colored nail polish. What a lovely color-combo. And a great match with the Nadia Shelbaya necklace and the green emerald ring from Annikat.

Opening of "Fashioned from Nature"

12 April

Just a couple of days ago, the Crown Princess visited four different companies that work with sustainability on a daily basis, here. On Friday she arrived to The National Museum of Natural History in Copenhagen to attend the opening of Fashioned from Nature. It is an exhibition focusing on the use of nature in the fashion industri and what consequences there are from the way of production and society's consumer habits.

Crown Princess Mary showed great interest in everything exhibited. She was given a guided tour around the exhibition and told about the creations. More than four hundred years of fashion history are gathered at one place. The Crown Princess could enjoy dresses and more, from both Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney, Jean Paul Gaultier, etc. from the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, who have lent some of their huge collection to the National Museum of Natural History in Copenhagen.

After having attended the opening of Fashioned from Nature at The National Museum of Natural History, the Crown Princess drove to Dragør to celebrate hairdresser Søren Hedegaards 40th anniversary, here.

The previous evening, on April 11th, Crown Princess Mary and a friend of hers (Ellen Hillingsøe) attended a performance at Betty Nansen Theatre preformed by Sort Samvittighed, here.

Mary was beautifully dressed when she attended the opening of Fashioned from Nature in Copenhagen. She was wearing her old green jacquard skirt from H&M (collection: Conscious Exclusive). Originally it was sold as a dress, but she had it altered into this beautiful skirt. It was first worn at Copenhagen Fashion Summit in 2018, here, with a simple white button-down shirt. A couple of months later she wore it again with a black, off-shoulder blouse at a dinner in Finland, here. On Friday she embraced the style (once again) with a black reused blouse featuring ruffles from Shrimps. Love how the skirt catches all attention.

Everything was kept simple and edgy. The black ankle boots are from Gianvito Rossi worn on several other occasions prior to this. Last time Mary wore them, was on occasion of the presentation of Women's Board Award 2019, here. I was not a huge fan in the beginning, but I have come to like them quit a lot. As jewellery she stunned wearing brand new earrings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. It has been confirmed that they are custom-made. An emerald-green ring perfectly matched the rest of her outfit from Annikat.
