This reminds me of something from "laugh in" or serena from Bewitched would wear. I get what it could be, but fabric is just not elegant enough to pull off. I like Marys hair and earrings.

None of the other guests were dressed for a "theme" party so the royal ladies and Prince Henrik stuck out even more. I picture them sitting in cushions on the floor passing the bong around after dinner.

Oh, man . I won't put it past Anne to have something like this in her closet either. The Danish ladies definitely went for 'eccentric', didn't they ?

You're too much . I sure hope it didn't cost her too much. It'd be a waste of good money (and good materials too).

Mary is the Crown Princess of Denmark- I doubt she is down to her last dollar, though I quite agree with you!

You took the words right out of my mouth.
This IS, by far, the ugliest thing she's ever worn. Looks like some sort of horrific item from the late 60's or early 70's. The only thing that would have saved this monstrosity was if it were a mini and she wore it with long white leather boots as a 60's themed costume.

This is definitely not the most flattering dress. I'm surprised she'd wear something like this! It looks like a rainbow vomited on her.

Oh, I have no doubt that she has resources, but nonetheless, that's not a reason to buy something this hideous. Ouch  .

Wonder if it is the occasion that brings forth this type of psychodelic print? Wasn't it at a similar occasion two years ago that Marie wore another long dress in very 'lively print' - although prettier than the one Mary wore yesterday.
I have a friend who attended the event; have to ask her how the print looked up front - whether she is suffering from lasting eye damage

I look at the dress and I think of the Beatles 'Yellow Submarine' movie. It still confuses me to this very day 
I could imagine a piece of modern art with this design in their palatial home, but as for wearing it, let her live and learn.

The Seargant Pepper's dress is too much for me - I dont find it as ugly as some other posters but the style of the print is not a winner in my book.

I think it was a themed party. Mary looks like she is in a salwar kameez as the Queen is in a Chinese inspired outfit so is Prince Henrik.
I don't like what Mary is in, the print is too bold, something she doesn't pull off well nor the colors look good on her.

I agree with you Dazzling,it was certainly a themed party.
The dress isn't bad but I agree that the colours are psychedelic 
Marie's choice was safer

Very uggly! I think is the first time I see smt soooo bad on Mary.
Marie isn't much better either. And no word for the Queen.....
Maybe the dinner's theme was "How uggly could you wear??"
