King Frederik X and Queen Mary of Denmark are undertaking a five-day state visit to Australia. On the evening of March 15, 2026, King Frederik X and Queen Mary of Denmark attended a state banquet held at Government House in Canberra, hosted by the Governor-General of Australia, Sam Mostyn, and her husband, Simeon Beckett. For the occasion, Queen Mary wore a gown by Jesper Høvring.

Very very nice. Colour great, nice lace. Looks like a re wear, re worked. Perfect
ردحذفTotally agree. The colour and detail on this dress are beautiful.
حذفMary is one of the most beautiful royal ladies!
ردحذفSo beatiful dress and jewellery. ❤️
ردحذفPerfection - very flattering.
ردحذفVienna
Yes, great look.
حذفMary’s jewelry coordinates wonderfully with the design on her gown.
ردحذف-Royal Watcher
Yes, it does. Very fine, subtle jewelry - perfect match with the fluid gown.
حذفHelen, you are fabulous, to give us this first-class example not only for multiple rewear, but also for Mary's genuinity in changing her gowns for rewears. She does it all the time, so the person complaining in a pre-post about Mary never rewearing should make her homework first. She looks majesti, elegant, beautiful in this gown, and the Ole Lynggaard hair bling is extraordinary (like most of her jewels from this brand).
ردحذف@17:39 that person was not complaining but stating their opinion. That’s ok. If you take a look at the annual clothes budget chart created each year by “ufo no more” you’ll see that while Mary isn’t spending the most (the honours go to Charlene and Meghan who spend incredible amounts), she’s in the top half of the Royal ladies which indicates a lot of new wears hence a lower rewear rate than many. This is not a complaint, but data, which you might like to include in your “homework” too.
حذفYou cannot compare Meghan's clothes budget with the rest of the royal ladies because she is not a working royal any more. Lately she is rarely dressed in gala dresses. She does not wear a lot of jewelry either. Maybe "Ufo no more" compaired her clothing budget at the time they lived still in London.
حذفI am not sure that altering an expensive gown several times with an expensive materials and expensive tailor counts as re-wear. Someone in the comments noted it might have been cheaper to buy a new one instead. Indeed, it might exactly support the statement that for some reason she seldom wears ***the same*** piece twice.

حذفMost of them spend incredible amounts not just Charlene and Meghan. I don't think Meghan or Charlene have been top for several years certainly not Meghan.
Magnifique robe avec la dentelle dont les couleurs se combinent à ravir ; je remarque que le bijou pour cheveux ainsi que les boucles d’oreilles sont de Ole Lynggaard, également du goût de la reine Maxima !
ردحذفBeautiful dress and hair-jewel !!
ردحذفGorgeous!!! Queen Mary looks amazing in yet another version of this Jesper Hovring gown, The lace over-lay is so beautiful and the Lynggaard pieces look like perfect matches for the design of the lace. The King looks dashing in his naval uniform.

Nice gown. Im appalled (as an Australian) that the table is mostly full of men and not a balance of women in roles considered worthy of inviting to the table. Frederik looks absolutely fantastic in his kingly uniform and steals the show.
ردحذفHi Anon 18:27
حذفI too noticed the lack of women to the right of King Fred.
However in other photos and on the news I saw plenty of women
to the left of Mary and across the other side of the table.
I assume that Albo and Jodie were there but I didn't see them
anywhere near the royal couple. Albo is of course a republican.
Finally, I thought the GG ' s dress was a bit odd looking.
Sam is normally such a sharp dresser.
Cheers Cate.
Happiness,love-this couple are truly in love.
ردحذفBeautiful,but no to the dress.
I do not think that the colour is good on her.
She looks elegant in this beautiful gown. Her eyes look sad on this visit?
ردحذفI thought the same when I saw Frederik in the video. He didn't look happy.
حذفCould we please stick to fashion instead of baseless gossip? What they feel or not is none of our business.
حذفAnon 20:48: you are quite right, thanks!
حذفShe looks smug.
حذفJet lag. Tiredness. Change of climate. It’s a lot!!!
حذفOh for goodness sakes it is a snap shot
حذفI admire how QM can re-design outfits from her closet, but for me this version is not a favourite. She wore it at the wedding reception of the CP Jordan.I was put off by the draping. The gold overlay is pretty, if it had been limited to the waist and arm.
ردحذفI love the hair accessory.
Lowri.
Anon. 20:48, exactly; they’re human like all of us and who smiles 24/7. By the way Queen Mary looks fabulous, lovely color.
ردحذفMagnifique transformation
ردحذفFroufrou
Helen, thank you for the rewear photos.
ردحذفThe King gave a excellent speech at this event, I was lucky enough to read it. He looks handsome and well groomed in uniform.
Love the rewear of this pale blue gorgeous gown. I love the changes made, the lace overlay in this instance I love. The embellished effect works in well, especially with the brooch she has utilized as a hair accessory, which I absolutely love. One of the things I really love, how the Queen utilizes these gorgeous pieces of jewellery. I would so love other royal ladies to try this, obviously the ones that don't or haven't tried this. The earrings are pretty. The small gold evening clutch, works well, blending with the embellished gold and beautiful hair accessory, all aligned well. Her hair looks stunning, not overdone, but natural and flowing. Makeup is on point. Beautiful presentation by the Queen.
Someone forgot to turn down the lights in that boardroom! :) doesn’t look like a dinner setting does it.
ردحذفIt's very hard to say with a photo, because an image can be edited afterwards to improve the lighting/brightness, so that the people stand out more. Some cameras improve the brightness automatically to compensate for low lighting - I know mine does this. Lyra
حذفI prefer the remake of the dress like it is shown in the middle of the last photo. Today there is too much lace which has been added. I wonder if it is cheaper to add a lot of lace to an old gala dress (unless Queen Margrethe gave her some lace she still had in her closet) than buying a new dress now and then. I don't like that greyish blue/green color for Mary. She looks better in brighter colors. I like the beautiful jewelry she is wearing today.
ردحذفSelv tak! Det er altid rart at høre fra Deres Majestæter. Velkommen til Australien!
ردحذفDet smukkeste og mest folkelige kongepar ♥️🇩🇰
ردحذفKjolen Dronning Mary bærer så smukt ,slår alle de kjoler kvinderne bar til Oskar uddelingen 🙌 Vores flotte Kongepar. I gør det begge så godt. 🫶🏼🫶🏽🇩🇰🇦🇺
ردحذفOne cannot compare the dresses worn at the Oscar awards with dresses worn by a Queen or a Princess during a state or official visit.
حذف13:40 why not?
حذفWow. Hvor er de smukke. Sikke en fantastisk kjole dronning Mary har på. 🥰🥰
ردحذفI love most the dress in the Greek variation - one shoulder, no lace etc. Anyway all 3 styles for it are beautiful, the colour is very aristocratic, silhouette suits her brilliantly. However I never have had any understanding why "economize" by altering an expensive evening gown in order to make it look different - is it so unacceptable simply to wear it as it is a lot of times?
ردحذفWhat a gorgeous evening gown ❤️ — but how in the world can she walk in it without tripping?? It’s so strangely long in front that I’d be stepping on the fabric constantly.
حذف16:50 valid question!
حذف22:52 a valid point: maybe she lifts her leg a bit to kick it up at each pace, must be some sort of skill and special training -:)
ردحذفI don't hate it but the second version goes better with the skirt. I like the lace overlay though.
ردحذفNice gown, just too long . First time I see them holding hands, cute. Rem
