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.

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.

I think you mean, Anna and the King, which was filmed in 1999?
The King and I was made in 1956 and starred Deborah Kerr and Yul Brynner.

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

I love the color of the coat on Mary, but the style is not a good one for her. I would have liked it a lot better if it had been a cropped jacket.

I know, that only strengthens my argument that she's pregnant yet again!

Rubbish, you guys!
I looove the coat
It's PRADA, no doubt.
Maybe the pants were a little too wide, but other than that, she looks great.

Hmmmm. I'm undecided about that coat. First of all, is it a "coat" or is it an "outfit"? You know, where once she was inside, she took it off and had a nice shirt underneath?
If it is an "outfit", maybe it would have looked better if she had "done" her hair for the evening to make it look a little better.
It's not that it looks bad, its a very nice jacket, but it just needs to be tailored a little closer to her body. Otherwise it makes for a very nice, very dressy house coat!

In my opinion, Princess Mary looks a lot younger and prettier with shorter hair.The coat is too large for her.She looks alot nicer in more tailored clothes.
