Queen Mary looked great at the badge of honor dinner for the Armed Forces, the Air Force and the National Emergency Management Agency yesterday evening:

A really lovely look on Queen Mary and the hairstyle is wonderful too!

Always a great look in the military dress uniform.
Her hairstyle is perfect

I don't like a Consort Queen wearing a military Dress and such an amount of Decorations

 

[Sister Morphine]

She's in the Home Guard, I believe, so she's entitled to wear it. Also, if you go to her Wikipedia page, it should list what all those medals are, and they're things like birthday and jubilee medals. She's not trying to pass herself as a war hero.

She did the military training and this is the military honor dinner, very fitting occasion to do so.

A great, glittering look for Mary at the Council of State dinner at Christian VII's Palace, Amalienborg yesterday evening, March 18:

Here are some better shots of Mary's dress:

I think this is a new piece or pieces -- I don't remember seeing her wear them before. I can't tell if those are paillettes on the skirt or if it's fabric, but either way, it's stunning!

A really lovely look on Mary on March 18,the jewels too are perfect.
Others could take note and learn about the finishing touches.

Very pretty! It's not new, however. mynewroyals has a few pics of her wearing this in 2007. I'm not sure how to post those!

She wore it in 2007 during a visit to New York. These are from Billed-Bladet.

Also, I was correct in initially guessing the skirt was covered in paillettes.

17 year old skirt, not bad! It looks fantastic on Mary.
The blouse pairs very well.

I can't fit in anything I wore 17 years ago, and she's had two more kids since then! I appreciate her thriftiness -- she'll wear something new on occasion, but most of the time, she re-wears clothes she already owns.

 

[suztav]

An absolutely stunning look on QM!

 

[Elly C]

Very lovely. Those jewels look stunning too.

 

[Duke of Marmalade]

Beautiful skirt, too bad it was hidden for so long!

She looks stunning! And she went deep into her closet for this ensemble....from 2007! Amazing! The select pieces from the ruby set are the perfect accessories to complete the look. Given the skirt is the focal point, she kept the top simple. I love that even though she is now Queen, she did not need to go out and splurge on a whole new wardrobe of expensive bespoke outfits. Yes, I am sure we will see new pieces for maybe the upcoming state visits (which makes sense imo), but she shows you can still re-wear, rework and pull pieces from the depths of your closet and look amazing while doing it!

Mary looks picture perfect here. I love the outfit and hairstyle. Is this outfit a dress or a top with a skirt?

And BTW, the jewelry is beautiful, really compliments her outfit.

 

[RJC]

Was beginning to think we'd never see this skirt again. Nice one Mary.

 

[Royalist.in.NC]

Absolutely gorgeous outfit, jewelry, and hair. Amazing that the skirt is 17 years old. No way I could wear something from 17 years ago - lol - I wish! Kudos to Mary!

Great to see Mary reuse clothing from a long time ago. That is such a good example for the rest of us, IMO.

The Emerald necklace is lost in the green material ,but other than that a very regal look by QM!

I agree. A very regal look for Mary, but the necklace really isn't very visible on the lace.

Only us avid jewel watchers would notice it,had Mary had a different gown it would have had more of an impact.

 

[Stefan]

Yes that is a pity with the emerald necklace. The necklace over the gown would probably have worked better with a gown in a different color

 

[JGio]

Not a fan of the dress. I’m not sure it will age well. The necklace is totally lost. I personally had much higher expectations for Mary’s first portrait as Queen, given the incredible portraits she has had for her birthdays and all. All in all it’s good, but not a wow thing.
I’d had preferred the white dress with the boat neckline maybe, timeless and not shadowing the jewelry.

 

[Sister Morphine]

It's a gorgeous dress, and the color plays well with her coloring and with the emeralds. My only quibble with it is I wish the neckline were different. The necklace gets lost. Otherwise, she looks stunning.
