I have only seen her wear the brown dress underneath the 'carpet/curtain' overcoat on one other occasion, which was for a reception in Greenland. I can't find the pic, but she wore a fancy hair clip with that. And the blue dress underneath the blue overcoat might have been worn in Australia, I am not sure. But, so far as I can remember, I have never seen the overcoats and the dress worn this year for any other occasion besides the New Year's Court.
I think its good that she recycles the dresses for New Year's Court. The dresses/overcoat combo is appropriate for these formal royal courts. This event happens once a year, where she needs a fully covered formal/sober dress. I think its also good from a PR point of view during this time of recession, Danish people will only look at recycling outfits positively. IMO, it would look odd if she were to buy new dresses for every occasion (she wore a new dress recently for the New Year's Banquet) in this time of global recession.

Has Mary worn the gray lace dress without the bolero jacket? I think that would be cute at CPs Vicotria's wedding in June.

It is interesting that Queen Margrethe wears the same ensemble each year at this event, but I think it is simply an example of the ways in which the monarch can show continuity (It does rather remind me of when Queen Elizabeth attends the state opening of parliament here in Britain. On arrival, for years she wore the same long silvery/white coat over her dress until afew years ago when she started wearing a fur trimmed cape - whcih she has worn ever since!) This Danish event is quite a formal and significant one and the outfit does indeed show off the queen's decorations exceedingly well. A gala dress or ball gown (normally worn with a tiara) would not be appropriate for the occassion, and normal day wear would be too informal. Therefore, a formal outfit unlike any other the queen normally wears must have had to be designed especially for this once a year occassion.

Unknown at this point, as the only shot of what may be F&M is a poor-quality distance carriage shot. Although Henrik is wearing a cape

That quote was placed at the end of the comment because it was in reference to Margrethe's dresses. Not Mary.
Mary has a new dress.

I think they (QM & PH) switched places at some point for some reason, because there are pictures of the line going left to right CPM, CPF, PH, QM. Odd, and going against protocol, that PH would go before QM at any point though.

Wonderful videos, Denmark is the perfect back drop for that stately carriage ride.

Just a minor correction. This was the first time that Crown Princess Mary attended. Crown Prince Frederik has always attended with his parents.
If you check back the photos of this thread for the past years, CP Frederik always attended the last New Year's Court.
