    Mary's dress looks good, elegant. The Danish Prime Minister looks elegant too.

    Dear admin the tag shouldn't be CP Mary anymore. Fashion wise very sustainable.

      Actually, if you want to look at past performances, CP Mary needs to be a tag.

  3. Oh la,la, le noeud papillon est de sortie chez tous ces messieurs ; j'aime bien quand il est porté avec du noir mais pas du tout avec du bleu. Mary est très élégante comme d'ailleurs la Première ministre du Danemark !

    Wow, a re-wear from 17 years ago, and both Mary and the outfit still look stunning. Refined elegance. The stark and simple black top perfectly balances the fuss of the beautiful beaded pencil skirt, though I wonder if Mary has adjusted the skirt this time round to have less of it trailing behind on the ground. That would be a small improvement to me, making it easier to manage if one has to walk around a lot. But either way Mary looks stunning. In fact they all do. What a lovely group of good looking, well dressed people.

    2. Great, Mary can still wear with elegance a 2007 outfit! My suggestion goes to the King, I think his hair should look better, and maybe time has come to get rid of the beard. I think he would look better.

  7. Wow, QMary looks fantastic (KFred looks good too). I wish I could fit so well into my old outfits! And this one really stands the test of time. So pretty. I hope QMary doesn’t do too much to her face. She doesn’t need it.

      Did you see her already without make-up ? Maybe if we could see her like that we would be surprised. Don't forget that make-up that is used in a correct and modest way is to make someone's face prettier, less wrinkles to be seen, no darker spots no eyes that look tired.

      I agree. The broach brought it up one notch, befitting for a queen.

    Mary is gorgeous and dressed like the queen she is. I think Queen Margrethe has worn the brooch in the past.

    Queen Mary has hit a home run here. She looks perfectly elegant. It helps that she has the best figure (along with the young Duchess of Brabant) of all the Royal women imho.

    Outdated and should be historical. In the 21st Century the world needs to move on.

      I think the role of royalty is actually a very much needed. It’s an equalizer to political thought. At least most European royalty. Dictatorships on the other hand, are not sustainable.

    3. @anon at 18:16. If we keep buying new useless clothes all the time, the world will not really move forward. We already have a huge ecological disaster due to the mountains of clothes waiting to be disposed of. Kudos to Mary 👏.

    1. Absolutely agree. And like other posters I am so impressed that Queen Mary is rewearing an outfit for 17 years ago which still looks great.

    Queen Mary looks great, very elegant. It's still a very fashionable skirt after all these years, combined with a classic yet elegant top. I am wondering if the skirt would look even better with a different, lighter coloured top, the black is quite harsh.

    Absolutely stunning!!! I have always loved this skirt and have hoped to see it again. So happy to see she added pieces of the Ruby Parure to elevate the overall look from CP to Queen. Along with so many others the fact she is wearing something from 17 years ago is amazing and it is even more amazing that she looks even better in the outfit now!

    Wow, I love everything about this outfit! The skirt makes the outfit, so much so that I want to see an entire dress in the same material. It would be fabulous!

  22. Wow! a 17 year old outfit. I love the fact Queen Mary recycles her wardrobe and this ensemble looks incredibly good. The various pieces from her Ruby parure are well incorporated with this outfit. The earrings, bracelet and brooch look stunning. All three pieces I love! The black evening top looks superb, the brooch is perfectly placed and adding interest to the black background of her top. The skirt looks glamorous, fits beautifully. Her hair and makeup are on point looking lovely. A beautiful overall presentation.

    Wonderful to see this outfit worn again and she still fit into it. Amazing. Her hairstyle looks beautiful and her accessories well choosen. Stunning and regal look from Queen Mary.

    Mary looks exquisite. Fred looks like he rented a tux _- and they didn’t have his size.
