The European Australian Business Council 2019

27 June

According to the official calendar this is the last event for Crown Princess Mary before going on vacation. Not that I know when or where the family are going on vacation, but no more official events for now.

Then, on Thursday noon the Crown Princess arrived to Børsen in Copenhagen to attend The European Australian Business Council. She was kindly welcomed with all it takes to welcome a Crown Princess - flowers, handshakes and lots of friendly smiles. The event was organized and hosted by Dansk Erhverv, a business organization in the field of employment counseling and political interest representation. It was all about stregenthing the relations between Australia and Denmark. Especially, since the marriage between Crown Prince Frederik and the, then Mary Donaldson, Denmark and Australia have built up a strong relationship. It continues. The European Australian Business Council has worked since 1999 to encourage a relationship between the two countries focusing on on trade and investment.

Crown Princess Mary also attended the following reception on behalf gathering at Børsen.

What a stunning showstopper. Mary looked wonderfully beautiful in her bright pink dress from No 21. The color and silhouette are simply outstanding. Makes her skin look vivid and figure look its best. Mary first wore this dress last year when celebrating her husband, Crown Prince Frederik's 50th birthday, here. It was when the couple and four children revealed a new portrait of themselves. Back then I also adored her pink dress.

This time she accessorized the outfit with expensive diamond earrings shaped as flowers. She has worn them on several different occasions, among others when visiting the Faroe Islands in 2018, here. Beautiful piece of work, as with the necklace. It was found at Tiffany & Co. It is part of their Paper Flower Collection, inspired by the flowers of nature. A third diamond pieces worn at The European Australian Business Council 2019, is her Dulong Fine Jewelry ring.

She also embraced the style by wearing an old pink Carlend Copenhagen clutch. This is made of crocodile. It also comes in pink python - I have one myself. A lovely bag. The nude pointed pumps are from Prada. Loved them since we first saw them in 2016. A really well-chosen outfit I think. For sure one I will remember.

Day 2. Official visit to Paris

24 June

The previous day, Crown Princess Mary arrived to Paris on an official visit announced not that long ago. Only little information have been published about the visit, but on the first day she opened an exhibition at Danmarkshuset. The exhibition was created by artist, Jesper Christensen who also made the new altarpiece in the Frederik's Church, here.

On Monday, she then payed a visit to the Museé Jacquemart-André in the French capital, where Crown Princess Mary saw the exhibition 'Hammershøi, the master of Danish painting'. The exhibition shows art-pieces by the Danish artist, Vilhelm Hammershøi. It is part of the Ministry of Culture's culture investment entitled 'Denmark-France 2018-2020'. The Crown Princess was in a splendid mood at the arrival. Parts of her visiting Museé Jacquemart-André, was also to give her a guided tour around the exhibition.

Later the Crown Princess was welcomed by First Lady Brigitte Macron, when arriving to Centre Pompidou - a house of culture and a famous construction named after a former French President, Georges Pompidou. The Danish Royal House shared that Crown Princess Mary and First Lady Brigitte Macron visited the exhibition 'Sonja Ferlov Mancoba' exhibited at Centre Pompidou.

On the second day, Crown Princess Mary also attended a healthcare conference in Danmarkshuset. Michael Starbæk Christensen, Danish Ambassador in France welcomed the Crown Princess when she arrived. She wasn't all alone attending the conference. More than a hundred representatives from both the Danish- and French healthcare system participated. The conference focuses on the transformation of the Danish healthcare system and how French healthcare system could learn from that. Especially digitalization was center of attention.

She ended her visit in Paris with a visit to the Palais de l'Élysée, which is the residence of the French Presidential Couple. The reason for her visit was that First Lady Brigitte Macron had invited her for lunch.

The Crown Princess was spotted, here, when still being in Paris. I am not exactly sure on what occasion it was taken, but my guess is before leaving Paris.

I had mixed emotion about what she wore on the first day. The new pink floral dress was really girly, but beautiful. Her evening outfit was spot on. I was happy to see her second day look. Mary wore a brand new midi length dress featuring what's called a windowpane paid. Trying to identify where this new dress is from, I had Danish design in mind. I was right. From Heaven I learned that Mary's wonderful white dress is from Danish designer Morten Ussing. Possibly the first time we see her wear that designers creations. Do you like it? I do. Love the silhouette, wavy sleeves and v-shaped neckline.

She embraced the style with white pearl earrings that goes way back in time. Don't know exactly when she first wore them, but it has to be at least 10 years ago. Dulong Fine Jewelry created them, as four of her five worn bracelets. Love when she wears so many bracelets. Looks just great. I also see her golden Cartier bangle and a Dulong Fine Jewelry diamond ring. Seems like Mary loves to flash that stunning diamond ring lately. And it is indeed magnificent.

She also accessorized her outfit with a small blue belt, matching pointed pumps from Gianvito Rossi and a new clutch. Kate shared with me that is comes from 1602. Also a new designer for Mary to wear.

Day 1. Official visit to Paris

23 June

The previous day, Crown Princess Mary participated the Free of Bullying-Race - a project part of the Mary Foundation, here. A wonderful day. She kept the great spirit the following day when arriving to Paris.

During the day

Not much has been announced about this trip other than she was going to visit Paris; open an exhibition and inaugurate a new altarpiece in Frederik's Church in Paris. That is exactly what happened. Sunday noon she arrived to Danmarkshuset to open the exhibition Ombre Flore created by artist, Jesper Christensen. He was also the one to welcome the Crown Princess along with Torben Nielsen, Director of Danmarkshuset. The artist himself guided her around the exhibition. Few every gets that experience. To be guided around the exhibition by the artist him-/herself.

What a mood. Crown Princess Mary was one big smile at the opening and later when she attended the inauguration of the new altarpiece the Frederik's Church. The new altarpiece is made by Jesper Christensen. Apparently he was inspired by the Danish poet, B.S. Ingeman such as musician and artist, David Bowie. The royal house inform that the center piece represent the Garden of Getsemane in Jerusalem. Four years. That is how long it took Jesper Christensen to make this beautiful new altarpiece for the church in Paris.

During her first appearance in France, Mary was dressed in a brand new dress. It almost looks like a peplum top, paired with a matching skirt. The dress is made by Danish designer Elsa Adams, here. On several occasions she has made dresses worn by Mary's daughters. It is indeed very girly cause of the color, print and that white lace detail. What was your first thought about her new creation?

She embraced the feminine style by wearing color-matching pumps. They are from Gianvito Rossi, worn on numerous different occasions. Among others on her trip to Ethiopia a couple of months ago, here. Back then she wore the pumps with a floral printed dress. Shows how one piece can be worn beautifully with different clothes. Even the earrings chosen matched in color. Mary has worn these earrings quite a few times now, but I still do not know a thing about them. But they are stunning.

The little clutch is also still a mystery to me. On a previous occasion I discussed with you when we first saw it, here. Both the rather large diamond ring and three of five bracelets are made by Dulong Fine Jewelry. All pieces are reused. Then she was wearing her golden Cartier bracelet, and a fifth one which I believe could be from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

Evening dinner

In the evening Crown Princess Mary was invited to dinner by the Danish ambassador in France, Michael Starbæk Christensen and his spouse, Giovanni de Carvalho. She was warmly welcomed at the arrival with handshakes, smiles and welcoming words. All three of them seemed delighted to met each other.

You see the three of them in the picture below - Michael Starbæk Christensen to the left, Crown Princess Mary in the middle and Giovanni de Carvalho to the right. I don't know much about what happened in the evening, but I guess they had a splendid dinner and a great talk.

Now we are talking. I absolutely love her outfit. The sophisticated combination of a white sleveless blouse and a red/white printed maxi skirt. Wauw. That is the only thing to say if you ask about my opinion. Actually we have seen this specific combination before. It was on a visit to Cap Town in South Africa back in 2014, here. Back then she attended a reception and wore this exact outfit. Well blouse and skirt. Also think I saw a white scarf.

Mary accessorized her look with large (and reused) Amrita Singh earrings. She first wore them in 2009 when attending DANSK Fashion Award at Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, here. This is, till now, the first and last time we have seen her wear these earrings. I kinda missed them. I own them myself and they are as lovely in real life as they look on pictures. Again she wore three golden bracelets (and a diamond ring) from Dulong Fine Jewelry. A fourth one is from Cartier and the fifth I strongly believe is made by Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. The clutch is the same as earlier. Ralph Lauren (collection: SS11) designed her chic heeled sandals.

Free of Bullying Race 2019

22 June

A couple of days before the race took place in Fælledparken, the Mary Foundation posted a few pictures of Crown Princess Mary getting ready to participate, here. The Free of Bullying-race has been an annual event for years. It is part of one of the Mary Foundation's projects again bullying. The event gathered hundreds of people every year.

For many years, the Crown Princess has participated warm up and greeting the children when hit the finish line with cheerful words and a medalion for having finished the run. 2019 was a bit different because Crown Princess Mary actually participated four races of 1 km. each. It was a wonderful sight. All the time she was surrounded by children, who all wanted her attention. And they got it. She dances, smiled, laughed, held hands. Everthing the photographers are dreaming of at such an event.

The weather was perfect. Everyone were in a great mood. I think we can conclude that this years Free of Bullying-race was a success.

Getting ready to run four different races, Mary had chosen a practical running outfit. Usually we see her in tights while running. As we did when she participated Royal Run on June 10th, here. But this time she had chosen another pair of black Nike trousers - in a more loose fit. Everyone participating Free of Bullying-race were given their very own t-shirt. A bright blue shirt featuring the Mary Foundation's logo for the project: the purple teddybear. When arriving to Fælledparken in Copenhagen she also wore an old FALKE jacket worn at, among others, Royal Run last year, here.

Even when out for a run Mary is wearing accessories. First thing noticed is the grey Under Armour cap. Seems like she loves wearing this cap when exercising. Don't think I'd like it myself, but she makes it looks chic in a casual way. Practical and fashionable. The little emerald beaded necklace is from Nadia Shelbaya. What I do know is that the two golden bracelets worn at the race, are from Dulong Fine Jewelry and Cartier. A closer look revealed to me that her black sunglasses are a Ray Ban design. The colorful sneakers have been found at Asics on a previous event.
