is there someone who knows who the designer is? I'm thinking Pucci, but I don't know?

Is what I thought also. It looks like Pucci.

The occasion of the party was the 40th anniversary of the WWF, so I think the royal ladies dressed in 1972 fashions - Mary as a hippie chick, Margrethe (and Henrik too) as an Indian guru, and Marie in a typically conservative style for evening wear of the period.
At least I HOPE that's the explanation.
The late 60s / early 70s were perhaps the worst fashion period ever (far more horrid than the frequently ridiculed early 80s, IMHO) but especially Mary could certainly have found a more appealing outfit echoing that time than this psychedelic tunic. I'm actually missing a joint in her hand and a flower in her hair.

My reaction upon seeing her dress
I suppose it fits with a theme or something? Considering Queen Margrethe looks like a catastrophe aswell.

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 don't think it was Just got an email from my friend who attended; apparently the guests all looked 'normally dressed' for such occasions.
The only other incident of dressing up was when a huge panda entered the scene - and went up to the queen and patted her hair.....
..and then a widely grinning prince Henrik took of his panda head  He sounds as if he's quite entertaining to be around.

Me too, and yes that's what she wrote me - Gitte Seeberg, the president of Danish WWF, had told another entertaining story about the prince at the party. I would love to hear more of the antics he's capable of

The dress is quite fun, but I don't like it on her. The print is over the top, and the cut is not very flattering to her figure. Cut the dress off to just above the knees and make the sleeves shorter (or tank) with a cute pair of pumps and that would have been good.

Aww... how sweet!! He and Prince Phillip together would be a hoot! 
Someone on TRF a while back, ( cannot remember who) who had been a guest of QM and Henrik told me that he is marvelous company, and superb with little kids- getting down on the floor, and playing with them.

It's something that would be OK to wear on your holiday, as a tunic, over a bikini, maybe, but as an evening dress it's just plain ugly. The colours just hurt my eyes.

This is an outfit for summer on holidays with sandal I like it but it's wrong here and with those shoes I think she looks silly actually.
But at a dinner in high summer I think I would love it.

I hope she burned that dress and will never, ever, ever wear it again. Apparently the ladies and Henri decided to wear the worst things they had in their wardrobe last night.

They drank the bong water instead of the champagne last night. They would have to have been stoned to think they were dressed nicely for a black tie event.

Could you be any crueler? So you don't like the dress, there's no need to accuse them of being high.
