Queen Mary of Denmark, formerly Mary Donaldson of Australia, first captivated hearts during the Sydney 2000 Olympics when she met then Crown Prince Frederik. The couple's engagement in 2003 and their marriage in 2004 marked the beginning of Mary’s journey from a commoner to royalty. Following Queen Margrethe’s abdication in January 2024, Mary ascended as the first Australian-born queen, continuing her legacy with elegance and poise.

Her love for fashion is evident from her wardrobe. Frequently sporting designers such as Prada, Hermès, and Chanel along with Scandinavian labels such as Søren Le Schmidt, Mark Kenly Domino Tan, H&M, and more– the Queen’s polished looks are a reflection of her timeless style. We can always take note of her Scandinavian sensibility.

From her early days of royal duties to her current status as Queen, Mary’s fashion choices have garnered a cult following. Her ability to balance colors, dazzling jewels, and different kinds of fabrics with effortless grace solidifies her position as a true fashion icon of the 21st century.

From puffers, pleated wrap-around navy skirt, and gowns, Queen Mary does know how to dress well for any occasion, may it be casual or glamorous get up. Her style seamlessly blends casual elegance with high fashion, making her a role model for many.
