Some people have began to refer to the purple gown, that she wore to the Romanian State Dinner and again this past New Year's court gala, as the Sari dress (or Saree depending on which spelling one prefers.) While some take offense to using the name, I can understand why others refer to the gown as a Sari. The material, purchased at the Salamanca market (kind of like the Rose Bowl Flea market here in L.A.) in Tasmania prior to her marriage to Frederik back in 2004, was partially used on the top as well as the top layer of the skirt. Furthermore, that specific material is used for Hindu wedding ceremonies (sometimes used for other major events) and means a lot to the people who wear them. The significance is pretty important to many while other have absolutely no idea what it means. Are they ignorant? No. But it is wise to be culturally sensitive (including myself... yeah I admit it), and not refer to the gown as a Sari because clearly that's not. This is one type of Sari in case you don't know what one looks like. Personally speaking, the gown is beautiful though I'm not too keen on the cut around the arms. Hope that helps.

According to the Danish paper, BT.dk Frederik and Mary attended the gala premiere of the King and I this evening.
The article is short with a photo. Perhaps there will be more pictures online sometime later this evening, PST, or tomorrow. |

 not a very flattering choice of outfit for Mary - makes her look like she's wearing a potato sack |

I'll reserve judgement on the outfit until I see/find larger pictures.
Love the black gloves and clutch, though. Perfection...

 Yeah, it's not exactly my taste, but then again I'm not the one wearing it.If my memory serves me correctly, I believe she has worn this shiney coat a couple of years ago when she was on a trip to somewhere... Germany I think. Frederik's suit looks good on him despite the fact that the material is velvet... Well hey there, Austin Powers!  I'm kidding.

I believe she wore the white sari coat during her engagement period in Denmark. she also has a short greenish/grey coat with the same pattern too.
I stand corrected, on another board a user posted an image of Mary wearing this white prada coat in Berlin in 2004. It was the photo I was thinking of. So yup, it was a foriegn trip. Beautiful coat! Now if she would only wear the skirt she wore in London which is also from this collection. Last edited by Fashionista100; 02-01-2008 at 04:56 AM. |

Please don't stone me but I like it
 I find the outfit very elegant and Mary looks great. Good to see Fred smiling and not half asleep. I have a soft spot for the asian style in general (also like Marys purple sari gown a lot) and it's very appropriate to wear it for this very event. |

You're welcome, Paty...
I believe it was a stage performance at the theatre, and not a movie.

The Sari is fine a bit too big for her maybe, but she looks O.K and the Sari looks very chique!

Hideous outfit!
 I don't like it at all! To me it looks 20 sizes too big. It looks like Maternity-fashion. It would probably look good on a 8th months pregnant woman. But on Mary it looks juts shapeless. Here are a few more pictures showing Mary wearing the shapless Prada-coat royals.web-log.nl: Royal activities. Last edited by Her_Majesty; 02-01-2008 at 10:09 AM. |
