A BT article about the color-coordination of dresses, illustrated with a handful of pics:

And congratulations on your first post, jenjoe
ADDED:
I noticed a few details.
The elegant way President Macron greeted QMII - and Mary. I.e. by taking her hand between his and bowing his head. In that way he showed respect for QMII (and her representative, Mary) as a royal, in the eyes of the locals. Without compromising so to speak his status as head of state of France. I understand it would in any circumstances be natural for a well-bred Frenchman to show a deep respect for an elderly woman, like QMII. Who on top of that is the matron of her family. I'm I correct or off the mark?
President Macron and the DK PM, Lars Løkke, appears to be personal friends, which is no disadvantage!

President Macron can, regardless of his political views, be sure of a very positive coverage by the press here in DK. Unless he kicks one of the royal dogs - in public! ?
Being seen as a young, dynamic and intellectual leader who on top of that is blessed with a presentable look, the opinion elite here in DK absolutely love him!
His stance on a stronger EU is also appealing to most of the political segment, so they love him as well. A political appeal that is perhaps not shared by a majority of the population though...
I noticed Mrs. Macron brought along a woman for her one to one meeting with Mary at Amalienborg. An interpreter? How is Mrs. Macron's English?
This state visit is short! Only 1½ days.
A short visit is BTW in Danish called "a French visit"
Live links from the arrival of guests and eventually the main characters

If you can watch this, I suggest you stay there. More camera angles, more clips and an additional coverage of the speeches later tonight.
And here is the link from Billed Bladet, which is a good backup for the arrival of guests:

The DRF members will arrive shortly before 20.00 with of course QMII and the French Presidential Couple arriving as the last guests.
After the many guests have been greeted, the DRF and the French First Couple will proceed into the main hall, to the sound of a fanfare.

Many of the guests have incorporated blue in their composition in honor of the dominant French color, which is blue.
The commentators on DR1 are well selected. A fashion expert. A foreign correspondent who was/is stationed in France for many years and former master of ceremonies the living encyclopedia, Christian Eugen Olsen.
