Looking resplendent in a jewel-embellished black coat, cigarette pants and white jumper, Princess Mary kicked off the Copenhagen Fashion Week in Denmark in the most elegant, dazzling manner.
Dressed warmly but stylish for the wintry weather, the 44-year-old added the final touch to her look by wearing a pair of Valentino rockstud heels. She brightened up her look with a bold pink lipstick and accessorized with dazzling crystal earrings. Everyone at the event fell prey to her characteristic warm smile.
Renown for being the largest fashion show in the Nordic Region, Copenhagen Fashion Week runs every February and August. The main venue of the shoe is at the City Hall of Copenhagen in the city center.
Joining designers at the opening of the annual event at City Hall, the style icon posed for photos with Eva Kruse, CEO Copenhagen Fashion Summit.
Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark, Countess of Monpezat, is the wife of Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark, Frederik is the heir apparent to the throne of Denmark. The royal couple have four children, out of which two are twins.
Their story is an authentic modern fairytale between a Prince and commoner. The royal couple met at the Slip Inn, a pub in Sydney, when the Prince was visiting Australia during the 2000 Summer Olympics. They got engaged after three years, and then they married the following year, which received extensive coverage by both Australian and European news media.
The Copenhagen Fashion Week doesn't only showcase designs from established designers, but it also promotes up-and-coming talent as well, particularly with the Designer's Nest Award.
As the patron of Designer's Nest Award, the Australian-born princess presented the winners at the coveted event. The aim of the award is to expose and promote up-and-coming designers in order to boost their chances to make it in the fashion industry.
