On January 5, 2026, King Frederik X and Queen Mary of Denmark hosted the New Year’s receptions for the judges of the Supreme Court, the officer corps of the Royal Life Guards and the Guard Hussar Regiment, as well as mayors and chairpersons of regional councils from across the country. The receptions were held first at Christian VII’s Palace and subsequently at Christian VIII’s Palace at Amalienborg.
Later the same day, King Frederik and Queen Mary hosted a New Year’s reception for the diplomatic corps at Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen. Today, the Queen did not wear a tiara, but she sported earrings from the Pearl Poire set of jewels, which date back to the 1820s. She also pinned the Order of the Elephant on its light blue ribbon under her jacket.
I think she should have put the sash on the outside, not the inside. It looks odd to me.
ردحذفProbably because she’s planning to take the jacket off so the sash needs to be on the dress.
حذفthat was the dress, she had too much going on outside, it was best to put the sash inside
حذفIf she had planned taking the jacket off she wouldn't have had the rest on the front of the jacket...
حذفThe love is gone between them like my own personal life, yet I will find a new one!
ردحذفComment pouvez-vous l’affirmer ?
حذف!!??
حذفOh no 21:31 do not fall for some nonsense you’ve read written by disreputable media sources. Clearly and demonstrably not true. Good luck however with finding your own happiness.
حذفHere and there you can see love between this couple - while dancing for example.
حذفNo, their love to each other is still there and very strong. I have seen today other pictures of them, from today's event. They are only shocked because by the threats of an old orange dumb from the USA. It is not easy to look too happy when someone is threatening to take your territory.
حذفI hope that you will find a new love but don't compare your life to their life. You sound just bitter.
Have to be the weirdest comment ever
حذفInteresting she wore the order under the jacket, which seemed to have made it a bit tight. Nice deep regal velvet. I am curious as to why she wears a glove on her left hand, holding the other. You would think touching all to hands it would be the opposite.
ردحذفShe doesn’t wear gloves for hygiene but for formality. It is correct to remove the glove of the hand she will shake hands with. That’s the custom.
حذفSo much better than the cream-gold one. Lovely.
ردحذفCH
I adored the gold one, the golden Queen! But the tailoring of this simple jacket is absolutely superb and the navy velvet perfection l. I hope we see this repeated often!
حذفThis is an absolute winner for me - Queen Mary at her very best! The colour, fabric and fit are perfect and she looks so regal but uber stylish as well. This is a good sign for 2026!
ردحذفFor these two receptions tiaras have never been worn. They take place during daytime. Only on January 1st, for the New Year's Evening Banquet, the tiaras come out.
ردحذفQueen Mary looks fabulous and regal in this beautiful navy velvet suit! Perfect fit, wonderful color, and timeless in terms of style. Given this appears to be separates; if so, I cannot wait to see if Mary makes use of skirt and jacket in other outfits.

She looks great as usual but she’s also been photoshopped to oblivion.
ردحذفShe has not been photoshoped, clearly In her and king you can saw imperfections, wrinkles. But IMO it's important what you don't see, that's is love, glow in the eyes and so lot's of passion.
حذف@Anon 07:27 Showing love, glow in the eyes and lots of passion would be highly inappropriate for a daytime levée while welcoming judges and the diplomatic corps. Formality is the order of the day. Those other feelings are best left to the privacy of their home and bedroom, which no one on this blog can speak to.
حذف- Anon 9:13
Anon 18.30 That's my observations, I don't mean anything wrong by that. And,yes that's is for there's bedroom.
حذفBelle couleur bleu nuit et superbe tissu en velours. L'ensemble est un peu strict mais il convient parfaitement à l'occasion. J'aime bien l'encolure (presque un col Mao) qui se prolonge sur le côté avec un boutonnage discret, c'est un léger clin d'oeil aux uniformes des officiers.
ردحذفLa coiffure lui va très bien et les boucles d'oreilles sont chics.
J'aurais juste aimé qu'elle ne porte pas les 3 médailles et les rubans, la tenue aurait alors été superbement épurée. Paloma.
Dear Paloma, Mary has no choice, it is all about the protocol of the crown and not about possible sartorial minimalism. She does not represent herself and her various orders are obligatory, even if you fancy that she could do without.

Merci Virginia, je sais bien qu'elle est obligée (comme toutes les autres princesses et reines d'ailleurs), mais je trouve ça dommage, moche et même inutile (voire ridicule), ça n'apporte rien et les robes sont toujours gâchées par ces médailles et ces grands rubans.
حذفIdem pour les hommes dont les tenues sont bien encombrées.
Je n'ai aucune admiration pour les décorations. P.
This deep blue velvet outfit looks stunning, though the blue sash worn on the underneath is a puzzle. The gloves and the deep Navy colored small evening clutch I saw somewhere else that the Queen carried, lovely addition. The earrings are beautiful, wonderful size and stone.
ردحذفOk, it’s official — I hate stomachers.
ردحذفWho's wearing a stomacher?
حذفWho's wearing a stomacher?
حذفWell, good for you. I guess. Oh, and thanks for sharing.
حذفOkay, but why mention that here? Maybe save it for a post showing someone wearing a stomacher? HM Q Mary is wearing the star of the Order of the Elephant, the family order with the portrait of her husband the King, and one other order. They’re not optional, as they’re part of the dress protocol for this event, and none of them is a stomacher.
حذفVery nice and elegant. Sadly, the CP was not with them welcoming the people.
ردحذفcss
Queen Mary's sash is worn underneath her jacket for the same reason the King wears his sash underneath his. Queen Margrethe when wearing a jacket would do the same.
ردحذفMakes sense if she plans on taking her jacket off later
حذفShe looks lovely….very elegant.
ردحذفThis is by far the best evening gown she has worn for the holiday evening events. Regal, elegant and simplicity at its finest. And I love this hairstyle. Very elegant without having to always wear it up.
ردحذفCompletely agree….love this hairstyle!
حذفWell said
حذفCompletely agree: very simple and stylish, beautiful colour and hair-do
حذفMary looks stunning in these rich colours. So much better than the cream dress she wore the other evening.
ردحذفTotally agree.
حذفI also agree.
حذفMagnifique dans ce tailleur en velours dont j'adore la couleur lumineuse bleu-nuit ; j'adore le style de sa coiffure !
ردحذفExcellent gown in velvet,she has a great sense of fashion
ردحذفGiven the fact that there are only 2 danish orders it is completely unacceptable to completely hide the sash of their most important order under the dress
ردحذفCompletely unacceptable 10:01?! I’m pretty sure the royal court knows their rules regarding their orders, and we can rest assured that Mary wore hers respectfully!
حذفMary ziet er mooi uit,
ردحذفDat uniform van Frederik slaat nergens op , al die medailles en toeters en bellen, hij heeft nooit wat gepresteerd in het leger.
Maar ja staat natuurlijk altijd mooier dan een gewoon colbertje.
Fredrik has a military career. He was part of the Sirius dog patrol for two years. Thats why he loves Greenland. The Sirius Dog Sled Patrol (Danish: Slædepatruljen Sirius), known informally as Siriuspatruljen (the Sirius Patrol) and formerly known as North-East Greenland Sledge Patrol and Resolute Dog Sled Patrol,[1] is an elite Danish naval unit. It conducts long-range reconnaissance patrolling, and enforces Danish sovereignty in the Arctic wilderness of northern and eastern Greenland, an area that includes the Northeast Greenland National Park, which is the largest national park in the world.[2] Patrolling is usually done in pairs and using dog sleds with about a dozen dogs, sometimes for four months and often without additional human contact.
حذفI just ❤️ her hairstyle
ردحذفКоролеве Мэри идет это платье, очень красиво. А кто дама с павловопосадским платком на плечах? Платок авторский, называется "Милый друг". Нет фото где она смотрит в кадр?

حذفПохоже в этом красивом павловопосадском авторском платке Лене Мойель Йохансен, омбудсмен Фарерских островов.
حذفWe’ve not seen QM in this navy ensemble before,so it’s new to her rotation. The fit and the color are perfection. The pearl parure earrings are picking up a navy hue, which is adds a little extra sparkle.
ردحذفLowri.
Since she is wearing often gala outfits in 2 or 3 pieces, I was wondering if the navy blue velvet gown with the navy blue lace was worn underneath the navy blue velvet jacket on January 5 ? Maybe not, it could be a new outfit made of a skirt and jacket. The golden silk skirt and lace top she was wearing at the reception and banquet of January 1 is made exactly the same way as the navy velvet skirt and lace top. I prefer the navy velvet and lace combination the best, because it fits the best of the 3 possibilities. The velvet jacket is a bit too tight to wear as a jacket, maybe she is wearing it just as a top.
ردحذفOh my….. better dress than the golden one, but she looks so old. And too much plastic. Her skin is shining… Such a pitty. No perfection for me but a little bit boring.
ردحذفAgree. In picture 6, she hardly looks like herself
حذفHer skin is shining due to a particular makeup technique with a dewy outcome.
حذفShe still has wrinkles on the outer corners of her eyes as can be seen in other pics and at other events.
There is no visibile work done on her face.
The nip and tuck narrative I have read on this blog re: Queen Mary has me in stiches.
Many people are unaware of a number of other non invasive procedures such as radiofrequency
(including Thermage).
Mary's splendid figure and overall look is the product of a synergy of different factors.
Healthy diet, regular workout sessions, face and body non invasive procedures, professional makeup, hair styling and nail grooming.
She surely can rely on a team of excellent fashion advisors as well.
It goes without saying she has all the means and money to afford the best beauty products, tools and professional teams.
Why do I know all that?
Because I too take care of myself through workout, Thermage sessions and professional hair styling and nail grooming to a lesser extent, of course.
The results are incredible.
She's 53. If that is old to you, then perhaps just keep the thought in mind and not write it. For me, as a 57 year old, I think she looks marvellous and in beautiful shape. No pity required! - just an elegant woman, one who has kept her health and looks after her fitness.
حذفMary looks great for her age and has amazing taste and style. But she has overdone it on the filler for sure. Look at photo 6. Just my opinion.
حذف13:55 - Can you prove that " she has overdone it on the filler for sure"?
حذفRight, this is your opinion not an eternal truth, just like I stated mine
Everyone express opinions on this blog, nothing new.
Stunning Queen Mary, love her hairstyle. She is always elegant. The King is so handsome 😁
