On September 24, 2025, the National Museum presented its latest and most groundbreaking research at an exclusive event for foundations, partners, and special friends of the museum. Queen Mary attended the National Museum’s annual special event, Research Evening, for the first time. For the occasion, Queen Mary wore a navy crepe ruffle gown by Carla Zampatti.
One of the topics was “Blue Glass Beads,” with research findings presented by archaeologist and museum curator Jeanette Varberg. Afterwards, a reception was held in the museum’s foyer, where the museum’s experts showcased special objects from the collections. The National Museum is Denmark’s cultural history museum with the largest number of researchers. More than 50 researchers work at the museum, covering a wide range of fields.
Fabuleuse de la tête aux pieds

Absolutely
DeleteThe dress is marvelous. It fits like a glove and is very slimming. I love the playful flounce/ruffle detail along the side and the navy colour. But I prefer the longer, more modest version shown on the model. Mary looks a bit too leggy while walking. She is top contender for best dressed royal this year.
ReplyDeleteA bit too leggy?!?! Fabulous legs, obviously so much muscle and hard work and sports involved. Cannot be too leggy!
Delete@05:20 make up your mind. 'Too leggy but Fabulous legs' 'too much muscle but works hard for it'
Delete@9:16 Your comment doesn't make any sense. Perhaps you the translator you used is not accurate? Nothing 5:20 said is contradictory.
DeleteSuperbe silhouette dans cette élégante robe bleu marine ; je n’en pas sûre mais il me semble avoir déjà vu ses boucles d’oreilles mais par qui ?!
ReplyDeleteTrès jolie robe, autant la forme que la couleur et la longueur (plus courte que sur le mannequin, semble-t-il). J'aime bien les volants sur l'épaule, comme un petit nuage de légèreté et d'originalité. C'est à la fois sobre et chic.
ReplyDeleteLa coiffure est belle et les accessoires parfaits (escarpins, pochette et boucles d'oreilles). Impeccable Mary ! Paloma.
P. S : il faut noter qu'elle n'a sûrement pas choisi ses boucles d'oreilles au hasard mais certainement en lien avec le thème du musée. Paloma.
ReplyDeleteBlue Glass Beads
DeleteBy Janet Varberg, archaeologist and museum curator
Important women were buried in Denmark with beads of the most transparent blue glass. Glass was a new invention that was traded across Europe from Mesopotamia, Babylon and Egypt, indicating that Denmark 3,400 years ago was part of a globalised world.
Her hair looks exceptional. The dress is just "ok" for me. I think I would prefer it a little longer.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant: one single huge frill, but on an otherwise completely simple straightforward gown. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely dress! Unfortunately we cannot see too much of it on Mary, but what we can see on the model looks beautiful. It also looks like Mary has opted for a slightly shorter length, which makes the dress more practical for late afternoon as well as evening events. It looks lovely.
ReplyDelete- Anon 9:13
Agree @Anon 9:13. The dress would look a little bit heavy if longer like on the model. Now it looks suitable for many occasions and wearable even in summer (although I think all colors are also suitable for summer).
DeleteHer hair looks fabulous and healthy.
Élégance, féminité, raffinement.

This is a very flattering dress on Mary. I love the shorter length. It makes it so much more versatile. She has fantastic legs!
ReplyDeleteQueen Mary chose an Australian designer. I love this crepe sheath for its structure, then adds a whimsical ruffle along the side. Unusual and quite chic. Very nice choice.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Lyra
ReplyDeleteTellement belle et impeccable Mary. Est-elle la seule reine à ne pas se rendre à New York? Tant mieux parce qu’elle est sûrement plus utile au Danemark
ReplyDelete@ 03:31
DeleteC'est normal que les reines qui travaillent pour les Nations Unies sont invitées à la 80ième session de l'Assemblée générale qui se tient dans les bâtiments de l'ONU à New York.
Mais ne vous inquiètez pas, la reine Letizia n'y va pas non plus.
This looks beautiful, Australian brand, very becoming.
ReplyDeleteShe seems to have copied the curled hair of the Princess of Wales or she added extensions to her own hair. The color looks a bit darker too than during the summer. I like both colors on her.
ReplyDeleteThe ruffles on the dress worn by the model are made of a thinner fabric than the ruffles on Queen Mary's dress.
.... "copied"? did the Princess of Wales invent curly hairs? Never seen before?
Deletenobody copied anyone, thats in your mind.
DeleteMary has always had good thick lovely hair
Here we go again, "Princess of Wales Gate". No disrespect to her but this is getting tired that she is always copying her. Give me a break!!!. Is it me or does Mary just keep getting more beautiful with time!
DeleteMary is not copying anyone, most of all Kate's outdated hair style. Mary's hair is a very nice length and she wears it in a variety of styles. Kate has become a one trick pony. And let's stop mistakenly assuming anyone with voluminous hair must be wearing extensions. Instead, learn about how the same head of hair is styled to make it look sleek and to make it look full. It is all in the styling and products used.
DeletePretty sure Queen Mary dosen't need to copy anyone. She is a beautiful woman, a gorgeous Queen and I think she most definately holds her own. The Brits could take style lessons from her.
DeleteCatherine the creator of the world. Before she appeared people walked around naked, barefoot without hairstyles without makeup, full primates. Good thing it's Catherine. The situation is if it wasn't tragic it would be funny. Some people definitely lead very impersonal lives.
DeleteThis lady is such a stunner!
ReplyDeleteWow, gorgeous look. Her hair, makeup, earrings and the dress, all perfectly styled.
ReplyDeleteKaarin
These dress shows her her amazing body and legs sooo well ❤️
ReplyDeleteThis striking dress brings to light all its potential on Q.Mary's perfectly toned figure (particularly her legs), much more than on the model.
ReplyDeleteI did a fast search on the net and found this description on the stylist's site:
Drawn from the archives, this simple silhouette does not compromise on a perfect fit. Finished with expert tailoring, this navy gown is accentuated with a silk organza ruffle that falls down the left if the body.
Model Wears: Size XS/6 | Model's Height: 177cm
This is one of Mary's best overall presentations ever imv.
I think that the navy colour is a nod to the blue glass beads topic.
I particularly love the side train on the dress, the pumps are to die for and her bouncing waves couldn't have been better styled, so healthy and glossy, too.
Her earrings are statement pieces.
Her dewy makeup is applied to perfection, highlighting a top level mastery in the contouring execution.
I love the pics portraying the interaction between the Queen and the little boy,
lovely!
I visited the National Museum more than a couple times, it's truly incredible.

DeleteWow, wow, wow, best dress this year, I think! Everything is perfectly put together, I love those earrings! And the hair...! No extensions (Anonymous 07:30) just perfectly prepared I would say. Navy blue becomes Queen Mary very well.
ReplyDeleteThis is one time when a frill really works. Excellent sheath dress and a lot of extra, a bit whimsical even, interest. Superb!
ReplyDeleteThis is up there with Queen Mary’s top looks. The dress has been altered to cater to Mary’s style. It’s super flattering. Hair and make up are perfection. The earrings need a post of their own. They are beautiful aquamarines! Stunning!
ReplyDeleteLowri.
Well said, @ Lowri! 👍
DeleteSo good. Nothing more to add.
ReplyDeleteDen bäst klädda kungligheten i världen! Amie Grimaldi
ReplyDeleteThe frill is way too large and the split is too high. Very odd choice of earrings.
ReplyDeleteIf you had read the comments above, you would know about her earrings.
DeletePerfection!
ReplyDelete10/10 A joy to the eyes.
ReplyDeleteFantastic look.
