King Frederik and Queen Mary of Denmark are paying a two-day State Visit to Latvia on October 28–29, 2025, at the invitation of the President of Latvia, Edgars Rinkēvičs. On the evening of October 28, King Frederik and Queen Mary attended a State Banquet hosted by the President of Latvia, Edgars Rinkēvičs, at Riga Castle in Riga. Both the King and the President delivered speeches during the banquet.
For the occasion, Queen Mary wore a red gown by Danish fashion designer Soeren Le Schmidt. She also wore her Diamond Necklace Tiara and Diamond Earrings, paired with Queen Louise of Sweden’s Engagement Bracelet, King Frederik X’s Portrait Order, and the Order of the Three Stars.
Mary is absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm pleasant surprised we got to see a tiara at tonight's dinner, when visiting republic countries it is not always certain. Queen Mary looks beautiful here. Her tiara with small red stones matches perfectly with the dress. I believe we have seen this gown at a previous New Years Reception.
ReplyDeleteMary prefers soft lines, very little angularity, almost always round or rounded contours. Don't know if I could make clear what I mean. Her fabulous black top earlier today and now this dress again. It is very flattering and feminine. Anyway, here she is again, tasteful and impeccable, a joy for the eyes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful red dress. Just perfection.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is.

This is a beautiful red gown, the style suits her beautifully. I like the style, color and fit. Her jewelry is an interesting choice. Her ruby tiara and necklace would have looked superb with this gown. Regardless she looks both regal, elegant and beautiful. She has the most perfect posture.
ReplyDeleteMary looks absolutely lovely. Her dress is beautiful, and the fitted bodice with the scalloped neckline and cap sleeves balances the full skirt nicely.

Agree a very balanced looked
DeleteA most stunning appearance by Queen Mary! She is radiant in red and the beautiful gown fits her so well. MR
ReplyDeleteLady in red. Fabulous
ReplyDeleteSa robe est d’une belle couleur. Il est vrai qu’elle est simple.
ReplyDeleteToutefois, elle est à la fois élégante, féminine et moderne.

ReplyDeleteMary est fabuleuse dans cette robe

Completely proper queen/princessy look and this is why I come here! Looking forward to learning more about the jewellery choices. I love how the black jacket at the top tapers down the back of the red dress. And then of course when it’s removed the gown is magnificent.
ReplyDeleteCe n'est pas une veste mais un châle drapé. Paloma.
DeleteAbout Mary's jewellery choices, I just read online, that the tiara she chose is unusual because it isn't one from the hereditary Danish collection, but one that Mary bought privately at an auction around 2012. It can be worn as a tiara or as a necklace. She last wore it just a couple of months before she became Queen consort. The article described what stones are present in it but I cannot remember which ones exactly, other than diamonds. I think it's beautiful, delicate and properly understated in place of a loud tiara.

great dress, such a bad makeup. Who thought that pink lipstick will go well with the red dress.....
ReplyDeleteAgree about the lipstick, the rest of the makeup looked rather thick, not a good look for anyone. Much to the dismay of others, I did not like the cut or color of this dress. The short sleeves left 'back-fat/roll' and the exaggerated V-neckline was just too much.
DeleteNice dress but the MUA put a little too much on. Not nice.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful red dress on Mary!
ReplyDeleteDitto , ditto, ditto! Except the comment about make up - nonsense, Mary always looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteNo, Mary does not always look amazing. She uses too much makeup at times, and it ages her.
DeleteQ M hair is to flat, lovely colour and style on the dress, but as always to much make-up!
ReplyDeleteStunning Mary 👌 and I love that she queens properly by wearing a tiara at state dinners in republics too. One has too few occasions to air one’s precious jewels otherwise, methinks!
ReplyDeleteThe dress is absolutely gorgeous! Mary looks fabulous and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis dress is one of my favourite of QM’s. She wore it last with her hair up and the Ruby parure. I thought she looked splendid that night. I’m not as taken with this look. We seem to see a few of our royal ladies wearing their hair down wearing a tiara. We’ve seen Princess Catherine do it on a few occasions. Also Princess Marie,and now QM. I hope they get back to wearing their hair up when wearing a tiara,otherwise it looks like an Alice band.
