You're right Gattica 
HH should & is expected to attend but whether or not she does is a completely different matter altogether.

Alexandra, as always, looks just beautiful! Bless her heart for going! I would think this would be very awkward for her. One question -- hasn't she worn the dress to a previous New Year's dinner?

Yes...Princess Alexandra wore it to the New Year's gala in 2004! She looks fantastic and her smile is glorious! This is why I love the DRF so much...here is Princess Alexandra...divorced...but is still valued and treasured by still being included in events such as these! She, Prince Joachim and the royal family deserve the highest praise for how their divorce was handled!

Check http://crownprincessmary.ipbhost.com/index.php?act=idx for a bigger version of the Crown Princely couple...Mary's dress is a rich blue and she's wearing the tiara, earrings and brooch of the ruby and diamond parure...you have to register!

The New Year's Cour and Dinner
The first one is from Jyllandsposten (credit to Marianne on the Glittering Royal Events Message Board for finding this fantastic close-up & watermark free picture!) and the two others from B.T.

Nice dress but the hair looks to matronly for Mary. Alexandra looks dazzling too.

I dont want to say much on mary right now cause we dont have to many good pics. But from what I see she looks so much more older. The dress, the hair everything about her. But its a bit unfair to say right now cause we cant see her that well.

Maybe because of the high neckline and long sleeves? In addition, there was a winter storm in Denmark and possibly Mary chose this style as its warmer? But as you said...larger and clearer pics are needed to judge the dress better!

Mary's gown is old fashioned, but I like it. I actually really liked her hair and how she wore the tiara. It suits the winter wearther in Denmark. All in all, she looks elegant but its an old fashioned kind of elegance.
QM - she's worn this dress a number of times already so cant really say much except that she looks queenly.
I was kinda hoping that Alex would wear that purple gown she has that I love so much (in those potraits taken when Joachim and Alex were still together). I've never seen her wear it and I wish she would. Its good that she wore the red gown again, though i don't really like it. Her make up is much darker and harsher than normal too, and the hair higher and bigger than how she normally wears it. I like it better when Alex when she wears lighter make up.

i think that in addition to the old fashion gown Mary's wearing...i also think that she looks older than she really is in the pics (like in her 40's and 50s) with her hair and tiara and the gown......i think she would look better in another lighter color (e.g., red or sth) ...also her gown would look much better if the neck line is lower....(with some fur coat or sth)
she should wear this gown when she's in great shape...because it really showed....look at this pic:

Alex look great in that gown...but i was hoping for a new gown that we've never seen before......
the Queen looks elegant ....but...was again...expecting something new!

alexandra: wonderful! love the color. her tiara has always been one of my faves. she is looking thinner than usual though. i hope she's ok. its just great to see her here.
Mary: great jewelry and her face was radiantly happy. thought the dress was a bit dowdy- reminded me of a house coat.
Margarethe: wonderful as ever. she has more of a flair for the dramatic than any of the other queens. i think its her artistry coming out.
