My favourite outfit worn by Mary in the United States was the purple dress - a lovely, elegant look. I loved the matching purple shoes and the hairdo.
I also liked the first look .
I'm not sure about the Jacky O. look... I think the outfit itself is fine; but could easily be worn by Queen Margrethe as well... it looked a bit stiff and not really her age.
The hat, sunglasses and her hairdo were lovely.
 
I do not like the top, it does look unflattering. But i like to combo of the colours.
 
I really do not like the Jackie O look, first time I do not like her look, too old looking for her age, to stiff, the gloves thing is a mistery for me, why use them in this hit?
the hair the glases and the shoes like them
I am surprise not gala dress and event?

The top is unflattering, too much going with the ruffles on teh front, the elastic band on the waist which for some odd reason decided to wear a belt which looked all wrong.
I found this outfit very casual.

I agree with you. Too much going on, with the ruffles, the necklace and the neck tag thing. I am not keen on Mary in navy at all.

Yes, this blouse is a turn off.
 
I think Mary has made some interesting and good choices on this trip. Her polka dot skirt, was last seen when she was engaged. I loved it. Her Jackie o outfit was a nice modern take. She was visiting arlington national cemetary. So what she wore was very appropriate. She also visited the Kennedy graves there. Gloves are usually worn on this type of visit out of respect and formality. Then Navy ruffle top was okay. It didn't look as tailored as she usually wears. She looks amazing in Navy. Her airy tunic was beautiful. The purple dress was nice. I really liked her hair and makeup with that one.

When they were laying the wreath at Arlington there was a very large "M" on the ribbon along with smaller writing above the "M". I am sure this is why the gloves and hat. She was following Royal Protocol since they were doing this on behalf on the Queen.
 
From Troonopvolgers:
Washington 1 - great looks from Mary

the Arlington outfit was too much for me, too over the top. The stiff formality of the outfit reminds me rather of QEII than of a CP in her late thirties. All dresses are very pretty though.

I like Mary's high heels, they look very elegant but it must be painful to walk around in them. Like her spanish colleague, it will only be a question of time until we see the result and Mary returning to more comfortable shoes.

Thanks for the close-up! :flowers: I changed my mind too. She doesn't look good here. The make-up artist must have had a day off or something. :sad:;)
 
I loved all of Crown Princess Mary's clothes and accessories from her United States trip. Her total look was A+. She has a wonderful figure that she knows how to emphasis her good qualities.

I have to disagree with some of you about her Arlington Cemetery fashion statement.

I think the retro style was appropriate. She was honoring America with a look of Jacqueline Kennedy of the 60's. Mrs. Kennedy was like royalty to us in the United States. Jacqueline wore the pill box hat in her early 30's and made the hat very marketable in America. I think Crown Princess Mary was doing what other royals have done by honoring the host country. I know Princess Diana would go to countries and wore dresses in the country's color or style.

BTW Mrs Kennedy is buried with President Kennedy at Arlington.:flowers:
 
I liked all of her outfits on this trip, except the last one.
 
I liked all the outfits she wore on this visit I can see why the Arlington outfit could give that impression but I too think it an appropiate quite looking dress and loved the colour of the gloves. At first I could not believe it I thought it was just too boring but she was there offically and in that capacity I liked it. Nothing she wore was amzing but it was all well chosen for the events she attended and whoever helped her or chose the outfits and accessories did a really fine job IMO

For some reason this coat looks quit ematernity wear, maybe its becasue she wore it in her last pregnancies.

Love the coat and love the stone detailing on the collar. Pretty print & color as well. I like how everything stayed simple and soft.

Thats the very first thing I thought.
I looked at the pregnancy thread and I couldn't find the outfit though,
When did she wear it?
It does look beautiful. :)
 
i wonder who made mary's purple dress in washington. it was one of my favourites of the trip. it just looked right - not too much, not too plain.
 
Mary has similar coats like this, they are all lovely, just i do not like the dress longer than the coat! hat is beautifull!!!!
 
I think the outfit is ok, but I'm not so sure about the hat, only her and her ladies in waiting are wearing them. I don't know what the protocol says about when to wear or when not to wear a hat, but IMO this time the hat was too much, because the event was mainly indoor

I think I read somewhere that when you go to church, you wear a hat or cover your hair.
Nowadays people don't do this as a must anymore. Probably royals are more traditional than everyone else.

In catholic tradition women used to wear a veil, but not a full hat.She is protestant, so it wouldn't apply and I hadn't seen her attending other services with her head covered
 
I like the coat and the hat, it's very coordinated.

I don't recall having seen queen Margrethe visiting a church in an official capacity without wearing a hat. IMO, it is only natural if Mary takes her cue from the queen.
 
Well I'll take your word on that because the last time I remember seeing the Queen leaving church it was for Chritsmas services and she was not wearing a hat or covering her head nor in Henrik's baptism, those are not offiicial events, but private.Like I said I'm not sure what protocol dictates and I would love if someone who knows would explain us why Mary and her crew were wearing hats, cause if there was no protocolary reason, then I will keep my opinion that it was over the top, cause the event was indoors..

She does seem to have taken her cue from the queen. The same day Mary was visiting Roskilde Cathdral wearing a hat, the queen was visiting Viborg Cathedral wearing a hat.

I have loved that coat for ages I bought one quite similar wore it once and accidently put it in the rag bag I have been too horrified to tell anyone but I have come out now so to speak .... Ialso love her hat.
