Princess Marie attended the inauguration of the new wing at The Danish Home in Chicago. Upon her arrival, the Princess was welcomed by Scott L. Swanson, CEO of The Danish Home, and Paul Pedersen, Chair of The Danish Home Association. For more than 130 years, The Danish Home has served as a home for elderly Danes who emigrated to the Chicago area.
The Danish Home of Chicago is a small, exclusive non-profit retirement home for seniors. It was founded in 1891 by twelve Danish women with a vision to support elderly people who had emigrated from Denmark to the Chicago area. Today, The Danish Home also serves as a cultural gathering place for the Danish community in Chicago.

Welcome to our beautiful city, Princess Marie! I think that both outfits look great on her!
ReplyDeleteWow. I am so happy to see Princess Marie wearing this colourful dress. Her figure doesn't need a high waistline; but she looks so glowing in these red tones, that this is a minor detail. Hoping to see her in more bright dresses. Lyra
ReplyDeleteLove the color on her. The style of the dress isn't my taste, but she is lovely and it's good to see her contributing.
ReplyDeleteWow. Princess Marie, such a beautiful, elegant and well dressed princess.
ReplyDeleteI like all the clothes she is wearing on these pictures. It looks like she also changed something at the frills on the sleeves of the white/pink dress.
Tout de suite mon choix se porte sur la robe en soie volantée, imprimée sur fond blanc ; la fine ceinture apporte une petite touche d'élégance !
ReplyDeleteShe looks so pretty in this floral print, which works because instead of a blotchy, “big flower print” effect, the floral areas are connected in an attractive, visually dynamic way. Marie is a lovely and effective goodwill ambassadress. — Jane
ReplyDeletelove this. its an upgrade from her usual plain wadrope
ReplyDeleteThe dress is okay, could be a tad longer, I assume red and white to reflect the colours of Denmark.
ReplyDeleteNice that it is a retirement home and cultural gathering place.
I prefer to separate the cause/activity/likeability of the person from the fashion aspect. Marie is a lovely person, but that fluffy-frilly floral dress is anything but good on anyone up from the age of about 8, nothing can excuse or justify wearing it in my opinion. She is at home with French chic and exactly that is her second outfit.
ReplyDeleteLe manteau blanc est élégant et lui va très bien, il s'accorde bien avec le pantalon noir. J'aime bien 2 photos : celle où elle est debout, avec la vue superbe sur le lac, et celle où elle est assise avec les gratte-ciel en arrière-plan. Paloma.
ReplyDeleteIt’s always lovely to see Princess Marie attend events. She comes across as a very warm genuine lady.
ReplyDeleteFashion wise I the Valli dress has been in her closet for a while. I love the red and white obviously a nod to the Danish flag,I just think the belt spoils it.
The second ensemble is lovely and perfectly flattering.

The white coat is beautiful, perfect fit. Love these ensembles. Its wonderful to see the Princess attend these events well done to her.
ReplyDeletePrincess Marie never disappoints. She is always elegant, fashionably dressed whether in high end designer clothing or mid and low range , like Hugo Boss and Zara, respectively. She is like a rare jewel representing Denmark, and often overshadowed.
ReplyDeleteI've never found a coat like this at Zara in Italy! In fact, I've never found anything there. I don't know which Zara these women shop at. Irene
