Lovely. I give the prize to Marie over Mary, though both look very chic in red. I love Marie's blazer and that she isn't wearing lace. But both looked great
I don't find the blazer too casual. It's a day time audience, not an evening event or something fancier. I prefer it to the lace, which I find too much for a day audience. Perhaps the fit isn't great, but fit aside, I think it professional for a day time audience. Reminds me of Letizia style at this type of audience, going for the more professional style, than the girly day time approach
