I'm not particularly fond of all the lace, but it looks alright. I love the coat, however.

The black lace dress is nice and simple, I also find it a nice outfit for such an event. The beige coat was a lovely match.

 I find myself out of step with most on this one.
1. I loath the black lace dress with heavy black tights. Lace needs sheers and those tights wouldn't go amiss with winter boots and looked downright wierd with her pert and pointy pumps.
2. Who wears a lace cocktail style dress to a kids Nativity concert!

I like the coat, but agree that a cocktail dress and pointy heels wasn't the right attire for a Nativity play/concert. I think a sweater and skirt or the type of dress that goes well with boots would have been a nicer look.

Everyone is well dressed, even the kids! Period around Christmas, is nice to be better dressed than the whole year.

Mary looks so lovely. The color is good on her too.

Didn't she wear that last year. I know these kind of clothes get a lot of repeats and Im all for that, but I would like to see a year in between. I love this brooch, she doesn't wear it often which makes it so special. She does look beautiful.

No I believe she wore the blush tulle skirt with the velvet jacket last year. I think she (and Queen Margrethe) rotate these dresses so they seem like they're repearing. That last time she wore this one was 2012 I think.

She does look lovely and ever so regal, but this isn't my favorite gown. Love seeing her wear the beautiful sapphire brooch! I like her softer hair-style as well.

Yes she has worn it the last time in 2012 and then also for one of the 2 Leeves. She always wears diofferent outfits for the 2 Leeves unlike Queen Margrethe who since at last 10 years wears the same gown to both Leeves.

I think Mary's NY Levee gowns are spot on and the only thing that changes is her hair. This gown, with it's stand up collar, doesn't really look good with a half ponytail. The brown velvet scooped neck gown looked OK with her hair out but loose hair somehow seems out of step with the formality of a "Court" occasion.

The gown is ravishing. Yet another one of my favourites. Mary looked spectacular today.

Thank you for the past look. I love this gown but agree that the hairdo doesn't go with the nehru or stand up collar. I love the earrings and the brooch and gloves.
what I don't love is Fred's, to my mind, disheveled appearance, hair not combed, not shaved, it doesn't seem right.

The gown is not bad, although its one of my least favourits among those gowns used in the past. The colour is ok but Margrethe is wearing something all too similar, I dont like the wrinkly satin-ish material. I like Mary's hairstyle, Fred looks totally exhausted and he has looked exhausted for a very long time now, I wonder what is going on with him.
