I honestly don't know what sort of "look" Mary was going for. She looked like she had been done up by hair-and-make-up people for a 30's movie. And the outfit was almost goth. It's strange, because she usually looks really wonderful.
Agree! Dresswise Mary as well as Marie Chantell were out of
character, IMHO. I'm not really into the fashion side of CP Mary,
but I've never seen anything like it. Wonder if they did this goth-stunt
on purpose?
Another thing: There's very little in the public domain about the event
at BP on Thursday evening. There's no guest list, in fact we don't even know the number of guests!
The BBC said that there were about 400 "European royalty,
friends and members of his chariable organisations. Other reports
mentioned something in the neighbourhood of 170 guests.
How this party given by HM can be perceived as "private" is a riddle
to me! It seems to have all the ingredients of an official "we're-obliged-to-invite-these-people-and-now-there-is-an-opportunity" event.
This is probably none of my Danish business, but I just don't get it
!
