    Queen Mary looks smashing! Love the tuxedo suit and her choice of bright and vibrant yellow accessories. Mary's yellow shoes are fabulous!!! I think its interesting that the men are so casually dressed while the women are in cocktail attire.

    It’s like there dressed for two different events! The king looks like he’s just taken his tie off,after a day in the office,and jumped in the car.
    Queen Mary looks superb in her Max Nara tuxedo suit.I’m on the fence with the shoes.I think I’d have preferred a black shoe,to give the look a more fluid look,with the yellow clutch bag being the splash of color.
    I can’t get over how long Queen Mary’s hair is. It must be the new thing,as Queen Mary is doing and Princess Catherine has been growing hers out for a while!Its certainly their crown and glory.

      I suspect she's been using women's rogaine for several years now. It does wonders for the length and fullness of your hair as you grow older and it naturally starts to thin. I swear by it.

    Lovely pantsuit and Mary wears it well. I really like her hair back off her face which, in my opinion, is more flattering that when it’s hanging in the front.

    Dress wise this couple looks like they are on different planets. Also Mary's accessories are too matchy matchy. it gives the impression of trying really hard. Frederik looks relaxed and appropriately dressed for a Tuesday night in Vega. Mary on the other hand is stiff and too made up.

  11. Mary looks gorgeous! Her shoes and clutch are the perfect accessories. It seems to be a trend that men are not wearing a tie. I have seen this in many other events too. I do not think it's a bad idea, it looks modern and relaxed.

    Frederik has that sexyness that some people inherently just possess. This summer when the couple visited the Danish countryside, he got shouts from women that he is a hottie.

    Wearing belts, bags and shoes that match too much is considered old fashioned.

      You come here to get away from real life ?
      1.Already forgotten the floods in Spain ? It was not finished yesterday the area around Barcelona got all the water now.
      2.The military training of a.o. CP Victoria and the reactions of some bloggers who really are living in a different world than the real one.
      3. Today Queen Mathilde visiting a conference about breast cancer (still a very real disease).
      4. Etc...

      The younger generation of kings and queens and other nobility are people who live now, in the real world. Some princes and princesses go to work every day just like anybody else.They are very much confronted with everything which take place every day.

    3. @anonymous 19:23. you mentioned real life in response to Grace. I take offense with Anna's Trump comment considering this blog is mostly women commenters and in real life Trump overturned Roe v. Wade which left women with no reproductive healthcare rights leaving them to miscarry and dying more and more, found guilty of sexually assaulting a woman to the tune of 80+ million dollars and the list goes on and on!

Instead of patronising a very sensible commenter direct your anger where it belongs, don't waste your valuable time on a fashion blog. Go ahead, make a change, don't be just a keyboard-warrior.

      I talked about the royals. Trump is not a royal. I agree with your comments about Trump.
      @ Rina
      I do not agree with your comment. You completely misunderstood my comment. I am not angry. I know that we are on a fashion blog but even then we are confronted with the reality of daily life. Just by looking at the activities of the royals. I have the impression that we cannot talk about reality on this blog. Maybe ask the blog administrator not to publish anymore items which are referring to disasters (Spain), health (cancer), everything that has to do with military training of royals.... I do not have the ambition to start a blog of my own on any subject what so ever. We can read and see every day in the press and on tv what is going on in the world. I admit that sometimes I am skipping the daily news myself because it is far from relaxing.

    Queen Mary looks lovely in the black tuxedo jump suit. Her hair looks good without the curls. I like her earrings. I don't like the yellow shoes and purse. I don't know why King Frederik is wearing no tie on a gala night. I have nothing against men without tie, but it depends on what ocassion. There is too much contrast between her outfit and his look.

      I know it says gala further up in the article but I don't think it was considered a gala event in Denmark. It was a celebration of their award, and the guests showed up in a multitude of outfits.. But I agree on the contrast between the couple's outfits.

    No tie is very Scandinavian and they are in Denmark after all. Both king and queen are wearing nice suits, neither is wearing a tie, they both look great and that they’re having fun too. Someone above said wearing matching shoes and bag is old fashioned but perhaps only in her view; there are no set fashion rules and things vary across the world and of course from season to season. What someone as famous as Mary wears tends to create new trends and she can even set not follow new trends. - Grace

      I wish Barbara Cartland (Princess Diana's step grand mother) was still alive.
      She wrote a long collection of very romantic love stories (about 700).
