There’s always been something inherently regal about Queen Mary of Denmark, even dating back to the early days of her courtship with King Frederik X in the ’00s. Two decades later, Mary is the first Australian-born queen in the record books and has never put a foot wrong in her royal duties, a feat only fortified by her impeccable wardrobe choices.
Now, the new sovereigns have embarked on their first State Visit from Denmark since King Frederik X’s ascension. The tour is visiting Sweden, Norway, the Faroe Islands, and Greenland, respectively, throughout the course of spring and early summer, with the Royal Yacht Dannebrog functioning as the couple’s residence throughout the course of the visits.
Queen Mary’s arsenal of looks for the Swedish and Norwegian legs of the tour saw her, as always, lean into timeless tailoring, feminine silhouettes, and rich jewel tones—with a distinct Scandinavian sensibility and a healthy rotation of reworn favorites. The more recent Greenlandic visit, however, has called for warmer and more practical ensembles, not to mention the opportunity to don traditional costume.
Here, we take a close-up look at each of the monarch’s outfits throughout the tour.
The Danish state visit to Greenland
On day four of the Danish royal visit to Greenland, both King Frederik and Queen Mary wore traditional national outfits, with Her Royal Highness donning a national costume called kalaalissut.
