This new dress is gorgeous but not fond of this orange colour!
In private or less formal occasions the more contemporary look is great but, and it's a big but, sleek gowns and fabulous OTT parures like Queen Desiree's when worn with such gowns make her look underdressed, sort of "is that a nightdress" look.The dress definitely highlights her beautiful figure. I somehow prefer to see her in a more contemporary and chic style, like a sleek gown without the billowing skirt. Maybe it is not dressy enough for this function. The simpler style would then set off the more elaborate tiara. Just my humble opinion.
Sorry to say this but compared to the years before this appearance was Hollywood starlet going royal, too loud and extrovert.

When looking through the years, this is my least favourite outfit of Mary. In previous years, she opted for simple but very regal (almost matronly) elegance, very suitable for this gala. This year, everything is over the top, almost flashy, too much of everything, a mismatch in style and colours.

..... instead of wearing a fur cape, like in previous years, this time Mary wore the fur as kind of a pashmina or stole, very strange in winter and it added up to this flashy and overdone appearance.
So I guess Queen Margrethe is being provocative and extrovert as well!!! In which case, CP Mary is in good company!!...in which case she is only copying dear old MIL (Glittering Royal Events Message Board: More part 1- scroll down to bottom) - and I haven't read any complaints about QMII's use of this gorgeous silver fur stole/pashmina which the queen has worn for years ?

Out of these past gowns I only like the top gray one. In the bottom one (blue) the overall look is a bit too matronly for me. She's too young to look that way imo.When looking through the years, this is my least favourite outfit of Mary.

... and maybe Margrethe's oddities are starting to rubb off on Mary

At first I cringed when I saw the dress. But now I actually don't mind it. I think what detracts from the dress is the ruby parure set and the brown fur stole. I think the color of last year's stole in this year's style would have been better and I think diamond-only jewelry would have enhanced the whole ensemble. It seemed like there were too many colors competing with the orange rather than complementing or accentuating it. She should be given greater access to other tiaras.
More photos on PPE Agency! It definately looks like the silk taffeta part at the waist is detachable from the chiffon silk dress underneath!
