I will wait until other much bigger and clearer pictures are posted!
So I am on the fence for now!

 Really...like really? Then Denmark and me don't agree, because I think this has to be one of the most awful gowns she's ever worn  
Hairdo is ok, not the one that flatters her the most, but fine.

We've only seen a few pictures (and not very good ones) but I don't like it! Too shiny and not the most flattering of dresses.

Have to say not a fan of this dress, I really don't like the sleeves.
I like the way her hair is styled.

Not a fan of any of it - dress or hair. They even make the jewelry look bad.

Not a fan of the grey dress. Just seems underwelming to me. The cut isn't great and the color, well there really is no color. She has so many more beautiful dresses. Also, not a fan of the hair either.

Barf...don't like the dress and despise the hairdo which makes her look much older than she is. A miss tonight...

It really works, she looks very feminine
maybe not everyone's cup of tea but elegant and goes for the private dinner
and that sexy man by her side is just the cherry on top

I am guessing that this is one "look" that people will either love or hate and very little middle ground:

What an terrible dress! The style is awful. One of her worst looks.

I clicked on the first photo and just went oh! Not a big OH, just a little whimper.
After looking at what has already been posted my only thought was she looks like she's wearing a giant Steelo Pad. Or maybe a winter nightie? But when I saw the video of her arrival and she turned to enter and there was this big ol hole there and I thought, no. Just no.

You can take a risk or you can just phone it in and wear elle saab. I'm glad she takes risks.

Actually I like the style and perfect fit of this gown but not the color. Mary looks better in proper white or a distinct color. This chrome or washed out gray doesn't compliment her skin tone. Maybe was quite different in person but doesn't photo well. But, like my SIL stated, with that figure, she will carry off almost anything with class.

Slinky, sexy, sixties-style with a peekaboo neckline.

I am not a fan of the hair-with a different style, this look wouldn't be so dated.

Yes the whole look has a sixties seventies feel. I don't really like it but it is different. Don't like the hair at all.

Well there is a lot going on there ... the drop earrings big brooch odd dress red nails the hair I just don't like it ... I have to say this and I will probably be hammered for it .. but I think Mary is starting to look a little like mutton dressed up as lamb... her look of late has been odd to me whether it is the pale lips that do not suit her, the hair colour which thankfully has been sorted here I don't know I just think things gave been "off"
Granted Japan was on the whole lovely but I have had these thought and well .. I will most likely regret this post but there it is ...IMO only of course ...
