Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary attended the Danish business promotion campaign’s concluding reception. With the title "Denmark and Tamil Nadu – Partners for Sustainable Growth", the Crown Prince couple and the accompanying Danish business delegation celebrated Denmark’s long-time engagement in Tamil Nadu.
After the reception, the Crown Prince Couple attended a dinner at the Hotel Grand Chola Chennai, which marked Danish company Grundfos’ 25th anniversary in India.
CP Mary is wearing another beautiful dress. CP Frederik costume fits beautifully. Marcella
ReplyDeleteMary looks lovely and the Prince is rocking his well tailored suit!
DeleteShe is underdressed for the evening event.
ReplyDeleteAnother India-style dress,…. Whereas Indian leaders visting western countries do wear their own home style. It is smug, thinking that these poor people are not educated enough to understand that there are several other cultures in the world. This overtrying to adapt is cringeworthy..

Non, c'est une habitude de longue date qui est plutôt fait en l'honneur du pays qui reçoit. Et on est loin du sari, donc il s'agit de montrer que les tissus et la culture du pays sont jugés beaux et de les mettre à la mode dans son propre pays.
DeleteSono d’accordo con te.

I don't see a problem in her choice, at least there will be not comment "boring" !
DeleteLily, I don’t think that the clothing Mary wears will offend, but rather be in keeping with the advice they will have sought months in advance to ensure the visit is as perfectly agreeable to hosts and visitors as possible. In my personal experience too, in business travel to over 50 different countries, my hosts are delighted if I incorporate something of their culture in my dress, and I have found it especially so when I’m South Asia.
DeleteI'm not a big fan of Mary but can't fault her for wearing something that was probably meant to honor her hosts.
DeleteLily T., This is a re-wear and it was not criticized when it was worn at a non-Indian event as being to Indian, yet when she wears it to an Indian event it is cringe worthy. It does not take much to make you cringe. How about poverty or abuse for starters!
DeleteIt’s 31C, 60%+ humidity @Chennai. What CP Mary wore blended nicely with her hosts. Feel sorry for the gentleman who wore suits. -JWatson
DeleteWhat a poor woman this Lily is. Full of envy and only a few grey cells in her head. Siv
Delete@Siv: lol! You write what many of us are thinking. :)

The second photo is just adorable, they look very happy.Jj
ReplyDeleteTrès joli modèle dont le style va superbement bien à Mary ; le costume de Frederik est parfait dans cette couleur ; il a su l'agrémenter par une cravate à petits motifs blancs et une pochette originale !
ReplyDeleteI don’t think it’s condescending to wear Indian style clothes. I think it shows a sign of respect. Pat
ReplyDeleteBut this is not Indian style. I remember when Mary wore this the first time. It was a couple of years ago at the Crown Prince Couple Awards in a city in Denmark.
DeleteA lovely dress
ReplyDeleteI love Mary's dress! It's a beautiful - and balanced - fusion of ethnic inspired fabric and western dress style, perfect for blending in nicely with her hosts without being conspicuous in either direction. Furthermore, this dress could be equally suitable at any party at Amalienborg or Fredensborg Palace, and Mary wears it very well.

I have always liked this dress. I love the color and the detail on the skirt. It's understated and very feminine. She look so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a pretty dress, I love the subtle necklace. She looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteCP Mary is a great asset. Hopefully the Danish people know it. Great looking dress. css
