So, the CP of Denmark is too unknown to be 'allowed' to buy one - or what do you mean???Saab needs be visible in international press and rather unknown princess from small European country won't give it to him.
What do you mean? That Elie Saab would not accept to sell a dress to the young, pretty and elegant future Queen of Denmark, because she might be less known than .... Ivana Trump or Madonna???I Saab needs be visible in international press and rather unknown princess from small European country won't give it to him.

On the Elie Saab discussion: his dresses are extremely valuable. Each dress costs a fortune.
That's a good question. Kate doesn't borrow them, I believe.
I think Mary has a tendency to understatement whereas Elie Saab has a tendency to go over the top (e.g. Victoria's pre-wedding dress). I don't think it's a question of "Can she?" but "Does she want to wear Saab?". As I see it ES is not really Mary's cup of tea.Victoria wore Saab the night before her wedding I think, that beautiful one shoulder gown. If Victoria can, Mary can.
What makes you think that? Anja is a professional stylist with many customers, besides Mary. To have good contacts with designers is part of her job.agami.pearl
Before the wedding Victoria bought few Saab's creations, I think that her stylist has good contacts with designers. Anja - not so much.

(Perhaps CP Victoria had better return her Saab dresses )
She's too un-known to make good PR for Saab's designs. He needs money (provided by such clients like GD Maria-Teresa or Ivana Trump) or being in media (celebrities, Queen Rania or Madonna). Sorry but Mary is not that popular to be on his 'radar' IMO.What do you mean?

You can regard Saab's designs as over-the top,for me he's one of the best couturier and women wearing his clothes looks marvelous. Indeed maybe Mary (or her stylist) has simpler style. Honesty I cannot imagine her in one of his gown.I love this dress and think it looks better on a white-skinned brunette than on a blonde (too anaemic).

Since when Prada or Louboutin are Danish designers? Mary is not wearing as that much clothes made by Danes.I don't think so, if he was given the chance, he would be pleased to do. Mary is a beautiful princess knowen in the fashion circles, but I think she prefers more to promote danish desingners. Elie Saab sells his dresses to some wealthy unknowen commoners, so to a princess like Mary, it would a jackpot for him if she wears someday one of his dresses

The dress is beautiful for me, I like the lace/beige combinaison, I just dont like the sleeves, it they were made in the same sense of combinaison of both materials and colors like the rest of dress it would be perfect imo. I love her earrings aslo.
Yes, Rania wears (and supports) Saab since years, before he became world-known designer. But Rania unlike Mary is well-know royal around the world due to her actions and patronages.Elie Saab has the 'unofficial patronage' of Queen Rania Al Abdullah who has worn the said label frequently. And with great success too, I might add.

Always so nice and positive towards Mary..You can regard Saab's designs as over-the top,for me he's one of the best couturier and women wearing his clothes looks marvelous. Indeed maybe Mary (or her stylist) has simpler style. Honesty I cannot imagine her in one of his gown.
Anja has tendency to put Prada, Hugo Boss and Louboutin on Mary. She's always using clothes available in stores not directly from the runways (except Danish designers). I don't remember Mary in custom-made gown from Armani, Dior or others. Victoria (and lately Kate) have better connection and can count for something special from designers.

Thank you for posting! She really looks fantastic!
Unless you took part in the meetings between Anja and Mary - which I don't think you did - you have no way of knowing how big Anja's influence is/was and how much Mary decides herself and which outfit was chosen by whom. Mary was a private person and then became a public "representative" person. And she was intelligent enough to ask a professional stylist for assistance.At the beginning Mary hadn't interesting style style, she wore comfortable, sporty clothes, almost no-make up. Anja changed her completely and yes, she has a power to persuade her to wore this or this. Some (not the best) outfits show it perfectly. Sometimes Anja's influence is too big IMO.
