King Frederik and Queen Mary are on a two-day state visit to Finland at the invitation of the President of Finland, Alexander Stubb. On the second day of their visit, the King and Queen, together with President Alexander Stubb and his spouse, Suzanne Innes-Stubb, visited Arkki School of Architecture for Children and Youth, which aims to introduce children and young people to the world of architecture in a creative and educational way.
Afterwards, King Frederik and Queen Mary, along with President Alexander Stubb and Mrs. Innes-Stubb, visited the Espoo Museum of Modern Art (EMMA). During their visit, the King and Queen toured the museum and inaugurated a permanent exhibition featuring 15 paintings by Danish artist Poul Gernes.
Later, the King and Queen, together with the President and Mrs. Innes-Stubb, visited Aalto University, where they were welcomed at the Micronova building by the university’s President, Ilkka NiemelĂ€. The King and Queen learned about the university's research, including Finland's first quantum computer and satellite projects.
Good choice of Mary, a smart coat and vibrant color! People will turning heads not in darker purple and blue.
ReplyDeleteSave this for older age when your 70.
The trousers are too big look at the model she has it right.
Good old ageism hits again ... do explain: why do you think darker purple and blue should be preferably worn be older women? What's the problem with dark colours - except you don't like them?
DeleteI agree the coat is not beautiful when worn with too wide pants. She should also wear a black top underneath because all the rest is black, buttons, handbag, pants and boots. She could replace the buttons of her coat in the same color as the fabric then she could wear i.e. grey pants, shoes, handbag, etc.... with the coat.
DeleteIf wearing dark blue and purple the design needs to be modern and crisp not long and dull. Or long but more like Ms Macron not the design of the first State visit.
DeleteYou can learn alot of italian french designers.
First day State visit

DeleteMay I ask you WHY is it so hard for you to look at the newest trends so clearly showcased in F/ W 24-25 collections before dropping your pointless lines?
Blue and purple in all their shades are just two of the hit colours of the season and Queen Mary is a contemporary lady living in the present.
Thankfully, she is no elderly person bemoaning all the time.
You can better have a style of your own than follow the new collections, they change all the time and it cost you a lot of money.
DeleteBuying 4 new coats a year many people don't have that amount of money.
I think P. Is an elder Lady with 'great' taste.

DeleteWhat does having a style of your own even mean?
Of course, everyone have their own personal approach to fashion and may want to be cool at the same time.
What you said does not apply to Queen Mary's budget for sure.
Don't you think so?
I noticed that she has upgraded her clothes and brands selection since her enthronement and that's easily understandable.
So, let me see...you're wawing from ageism to budget issues?
Or must I think it's all about your lack of modern trends knowledge?
As simple as that.
Once again, you' re proving you've never even googled for the latest fashion trends and you do not know how much prices can vary according to different brands.
You just make a guess, according to your personal bias.
Some colours have to be worn only if you' re in your seventies?
Where did you get this rule from?
I thought this was a fashion blog and you were at least a bit knowledgeble.
Otherwise, please, may you explain how you've ended up on this ROYAL fashion blog?
Please, @Anonymous 15:33, before writing your nonsense, make sure you study some English grammar and get a mirror to look you in.
DeleteOh, and...decline too hard thinking or you' ll end up shattered.
Thank you.
Superbe manteau

I love the color and style of the coat but not with these wide pants. The pants on the model look so much better with this coat.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly. The coat is lovely, the trousers are great but the two don't go together
DeleteDon't like the wide pants to this coat.
ReplyDeleteYou are right. The coat is too tight for baggy trousers. On this trip, apart from the banquet jewellery, Mary (strangely) got everything wrong. Irene
DeleteYes way to baggy!
DeleteMary’s plum colored coat is exquisite!
ReplyDeleteI love the cut and colour of Marys coat, but not so much the flared pants when worn together with the coat.
ReplyDeleteIn photo #3, what we have are 2 very good looking couples.

Pictures are not always the exact colour, nevertheless what I see here is a colour I totally dislike
ReplyDeleteThe wide pants spoil the whole look! And since becoming queen Mary oddly seems in general to be dressing down.
ReplyDeleteI agree! Also this coat was worn by Isabella before. Which is great to see.
DeleteLily
Le style et la couleur du manteau croisé de Mary est superbe mais pas du tout à porter avec ce pantalon large !
ReplyDeleteLike the coat, mot so much with the wide pants. Maybe if she wasn’t wearing the grey boots they would look better. Seems like the first lady was wearing dresses to queens pants
ReplyDeleteThe wide pants are so ugly in combination with this otherwise beautiful coat, they completely destroy the look. The boots make it even worse. And the hair... too much extensions. Mary has lost her groove.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful women -

For most of us when we put on a wool coat, it is not perfectly matched with the outfit underneath, because it’s purpose is to keep us warm - stylishly if possible. In this example I think Mary has put the coat on for warmth but intended to take it off to reveal the beautiful grey outfit underneath. When she hasn’t taken it off, it does look suboptimal with the very wide trousers - but it nevertheless is a very nice coat and I wouldn’t demand that the outfit below must match the outer garment necessarily.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful coat. The vibrant color is one to behold. I wish Mary had worn a straighter cut trouser,similarly to what the model is wearing.
ReplyDeleteHave to say First Lady Innes-Stubb has been a pleasure to watch on this visit.
Lowri.
I agree with the above comments, the slim coat is elegant and special, lovely colour, but the wide trousers seem to drown the ensemble.
ReplyDeleteđ Virginia
What fantastic look for both ladies.
ReplyDeletecss
Agree, they both look lovely but I would prefere slimmer pants on Mary. Suzanne is wearing a skirt suit from Danish "Birrot".
DeleteBelle couleur de manteau !
ReplyDeletePar contre, j’Ă©mets des rĂ©ticences concernant les vĂȘtements portĂ©s sous ce manteau.
Soient ce pantalon qui semble plus gros que la normale, ainsi que ce haut.
L’ensemble ne me semble pas raffinĂ©.
-Astrid.
The cut, style and color of this coat, is splendid. Love the coat.
