On August 24, 2024, King Frederik and Queen Mary of Denmark attended the 50th birthday party of their friend, Baroness Helle Reedtz-Thott, at Gavnø Castle in Næstved. Baroness Helle has been a close friend of Queen Mary for many years. Queen Mary was the godmother at the christening of Baroness Helle's youngest son, Holger, while Baroness Helle was the godmother at Prince Vincent's christening in 2011.
Erdem Floral-print Blouse and Skirt
Mary looks gorgeous - modern and stylish and not overdone. The perfect outfit for a private party with close friends, allowing her some leeway for personal style, instead of being dictated by her title of Queen. The colours of the two-piece are beautiful, and I like that she tied the bow behind. Looks like she and the lady in silver are wearing similar style shoes, and I love both.
ReplyDeletePity that Fred's suit creases so much.

Hello Anon 9:13
DeleteI agree with your comment about the leeway Queen Mary has (enjoys) with her personal style, and the style she is dictated to when ‘on duty’ as a Queen.
Fred often dresses badly. Suits are a bad cut and fit, trousers never the right length..he often looks shabby..
DeleteThe fuchsia pink is a great color for Mary. She looks best in bright and jewel tone colors.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the model, Queen Mary is wearing the top back to front ?
DeletePerhaps the designer, Erden Moralioglu, designed the top with a "retro-verso" possibility.
But the slit in the skirt is worn at the back, the same as the model.
OOH new dress!! I likee!! Pretty color and the top has a pretty neckline.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty.
ReplyDeleteI like this colour onQueen Mary, but honestly the king needs to get a suit that is not as tight so the wrinkles are minimized. Time to retire this suit.

DeleteKing Frederik is wearing a linen suit again. If the suit was not so tight the creases would be there too and even more visible. King Frederik is wearing his suits always tight (fashion for men in Denmark ?). Maybe he likes it that way. Since he is rather short, I think with wider pants and jackets, he would look wider than he is and even shorter.
It doesn't matter. He is king and still has sex appeal and that glimpse in the eye.
DeleteI think for a birthday party for a Dane the suit is completely right. More fitted trousers have been the fashion in Denmark for many years now. I think it’s a private event - Grace
DeleteI think the creases are there because of the fabric. It looks like a linen-cotton blend to me, which creases very easily.

DeleteKing Frederik is 6 ft.tall so I don't think he is “rather short”.
But I’ve often heard said by women of a certain standing that the creases with their linen dresses, jackets etc are creases of “class”.
For men, I don’t know. 😏
Dear deadeggs, in germany we say "Leinen knittert edel", but i agree to you, after a time of wearing a linenshirt i look like as if i have slept in it... anna e.
DeleteLove your German expression ""Linen wrinkles elegantly", (translated by Google)
DeleteNormally I do not like Erdem, but this is a beautiful combination of skirt and blouse. A good idea to wear the scarf like Q. Mary does, which is better than the model. The color is good for her too. Lovely sandals.
ReplyDeleteWow! Queen Mary looks beautiful in this fuchsia Elden outfit. The color is wonderful, the fit is perfect, and I love her shoes.

The Queen is wearing a very pretty outfit, the style and color is lovely.
ReplyDeleteQuelle magnifique robe que j aimerais porté
ReplyDeleteFroufrou
My comment didn't post from 10 hours ago. Mary looks great in this 2 piece. The colour and simple chic style look marvellous on her. Also gives her some leeway to dress personally instead of 'Queen duty' since this is a private party with close friends, albeit a famous one. I like that she has worn the bow at the back.
ReplyDeleteLooks like she and the lady in silver are wearing similar styles of sandals (Mary's are by Altuzarra) and I love them both.

Queen Marry has a selection of Erdem designs in her closet,each as lovely as the last.This fuchsia pink ensemble is no exception!
ReplyDeleteThe theme of the party,was diamonds and rose!.I guess the fuchsia pink falls into the ‘rose’
Lowri.
Les fleurs rouges de sa robe ressemblent beaucoup à des roses. Personnellement je trouve ce motif assez ringard mais il est vrai que j'aime rarement les tenues Erdem ! Chacun ses goûts.
DeleteVery elegant look by Erdem, for Mary today. Hope they enjoyed themselves. css
ReplyDeleteFrederick will never win the most stylish royal ever. He is who he is. Whilst we all respected his mum, I respectfully would say she never won the most stylish Queen award either.
ReplyDeleteMary on the other hand is innately stylish. Before she was even his girlfriend. And that you can’t buy, even with the services of a stylist. She looks beautiful, confident and healthy.
Btw, her sandals are Stuart Weizman. On sale at Saks.

For almost 20 years, many of the royal ladies have turned to the British fashion house of Erdem Moralıoğlu for their outfits.
DeleteCatherine, the Princess of Wales, Duchess Sophie are amongst just a few of the royal names, plus international names like Michelle Obama can be found on his list of clients.
The Duchess of Sussex (Duchess Megan) has been one of his regular customers but she seems to be, more and more, turning to Californian and New York designers.
In 2020 he received an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) for his services to fashion.
The sandals are Aquazzura and cost around 1300 USD. It is nice that she has new items for every occasion almost. Long live the Danish Royal fashion House.
DeleteMary is actually wearing Aquazzura 'Tequila 85' Pink Sandals.
DeleteBack in her day Queen Margrethe was known for some of her more iconic , flamboyant and exuberant fashion choices. I think her eccentric and unique wardrobe was inspired by being an artist and costume designer. I always thought she was ahead of her time back in the day. I can see her now in the daisy pattern raincoat and hat made from oil cloth used on tables, that image stilll sticks in the back of my mind!
DeleteSome people have their rose coloured glasses on when they see royal people.
DeleteMary porte à merveille cette robe imprimée fuchsia ; superbes sandales à la bride croisée originale !
ReplyDeleteThey both looked very elegant. I've been wondering why Queen Mary has white patches on her arm ?
ReplyDeleteProbably varicella scars, mine look the same.
DeleteThose are just pieces of skin without pigment
DeleteThe colour is stunning on Mary and I like the overall design. I just wish it was in a different material - not overly fond of the spaghetti strap top with a sheer overlay, I think it cheapens the look a bit.
ReplyDelete-Nika-
Mary needs colors. She wouldn't look good in the little black dress.
