On April 23, 2026, Queen Mary of Denmark took part in a meeting of Queen Mary’s Center Advisory Committee at DR Byen in Copenhagen. Upon arrival, she was received by the Rector of the University of Copenhagen, David Dreyer Lassen. Queen Mary’s Center is an interdisciplinary knowledge center at the University of Copenhagen, which opened in February 2022 on the occasion of her 50th birthday.
Dorothee Schumacher Modern Sophistication Suit
Nice jacket - poorly designed trousers. I’m really looking forward to this “way too much wasted material” trousers trend being done. Mary’s lovely anyway, but it’s despite the trousers. I don’t understand why people are buying them… don’t they see that they don’t look neat?
ReplyDeleteI don’t understand either, most likely they want to be seen in the latest style, rather than what makes them look their best in.
Delete23:05 yrs I think many are attracted by the latest style because it’s the latest style a and are persuaded that when something is in style, especially if pricey, it must be lovely. As opposed to really being lovely. Or stepping back and saying even though it’s in style I find this style unflattering and don’t want to buy clothes of a short lived style because that’s wasteful.
DeleteI do agree too - this kind of trousers does not look good. Anyway Mary is always an elegant, feminine appearance.
DeleteNice navy suit with soft stripes, albeit a bit wrinkled, but I would swap the high gathered neckline for a top that sits lower.
ReplyDeleteI don't like this outfit it is very boring.
ReplyDeleteThis 3 piece outfit is interesting, particularly the blouse. The jacket fits well, pants bit on the baggy side, though I realise this is current fashion. I love the Navy color and strips. She looks stylish. Love her earrings, these are pretty. I do love her rich colored burgundy shoes, what a beautiful shade and color.
ReplyDeleteWhen I look at the photo of QM standing with the men, her outfit looks heavy and dark without the contrast of a lighter-coloured shirt (which all the men are wearing). Mary has attempted to add contrast by carrying an aqua bag but for me it just looks like a random addition -- as it is unrelated to her outfit.
ReplyDeleteI like the colour of the suit; but overall it has so many folds and layers, it looks overly busy to me, especially the frilly retro Edwardian high collar. I can see Mary loves these high frilly collars, but I don't think they work with every type of outfit. Lyra
I really love this suit. It's modern, it means business, and the tailoring is feminine and chic (per the model), especially the jacket. The trousers are BOTH a hit AND a miss. Hit because they are the trendy flared style that sometimes suit the wearer, and a miss because when they crease, they look flared and untidy. But overall, I still like it and think Mary looks good and business-like for this sort of meeting.

06:01 Yes, my opinion as well, modern, stylish in its own way. It is in line with many other choices we have seen from QMary. I also agree on "looks good and business-like" for today's meeting.
DeleteCe tailleur pourrait être élégant mais le bât blesse au niveau du pantalon froissé qui fausse son allure !
ReplyDeleteSeams like she is still grieving the lost of her father. All the events after her father’s death, she has worn dark clothes.
ReplyDeleteDuring a mourning period, some people wear dark clothes for a month, some for 3 months, some for 6 months and others for a year. Most public figures wear dark clothes for a month, but it's entirely up to the individual to do what they feel is right.

DeleteWearing dark clothes during mourning is almost not done anymore. Some people are not wearing dark clothes at all during mourning. It is not the wearing of dark clothes that will bring back the deceased person. Mourning is something that is very individual and inside a person who has lost somebody. I hear people who are saying, I do not have black, navy or very dark brown, green or grey clothes. I have not the money to buy several dark clothes which I will not wear anymore afterwards.
What is done often these days (where I live) even to assist to a funeral people are wearing classic colors like beige, brown, navy, grey or combinations of those colors. When my husband died I wore black the day of the funeral and afterwards I wore a combination of beige and grey. Or a black jacket and beige trousers, or a beige coat and light grey trousers and a black sweater, etc... When my mother in law died, my sisters in law and other women of our family decided to wear black trousers and a white shirt or a black skirt and white shirt. It was very hot that day, I remember and we were glad that we took the decision to wear the white shirts. What I do not like at all are jeans on a funeral. Wear it to go to work, or to work in your garden, or when you are having a free day and staying at home, to do your shopping, etc...
It was on this blog that most people said that black was not a mourning color anymore.
These oversized trousers horrible. Only wearable for models with very long legs
ReplyDeletesuch a poorly fitted outfit. Mary used to wear classics and be elegant, now she is copying the instagram influencers and goes with the flow
ReplyDeleteA little bit too dark, maybe a white top would have made a difference.
