Beautiful dress and coat to finish off the state visit
 
Queen Mary just did a 2 day State Visit, her first as Queen....and managed to do it with a total of 4 outfits including 3 repeat dresses and 1 reworked gown. In addition, the blue shawl, tan cape and white coat are also repeats. So it can be done....huge important events without having to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe!
 
We stan a frugal queen!

(...but I'm hoping we see a new gala dress for the Norwegian state visit. It's your anniversary, Mary -- jazz it up a little!)

Maybe Frederik and Mary will run a consistently more frugal court than Daisy did.

I really like that final outfit of the state visit. Reworking/ revisiting outfits is to be applauded.

All of her eveningwear were really well thought out. And I agree; re-wearing bespoke pieces should be applauded and the norm. I do think the new generation of Royals have clothing/fashion sustainability at the forefront. We are seeing Mary, Letizia, Maxima, Mathilde etc re-wearing major fashion pieces. I think gone are the days where a State visit requires a complete new wardrobe.
 
The last outfit is terrific. I don’t remember that dress or coat but both are colors that suit her. The makeup is pretty heavy. I always wonder do they bring a hairdresser and makeup artist?

IMO, acquiring a whole new wardrobe for a state visit or official visit and with excessive outfit changes may be actually looked down upon in this day and age. And you are already seeing the next generation doing the same in how they will wear something their mother wore and even still wear as we've seen with Leonor and Sofia, Ingrid Alexandra, Isabella and Jospehine. I like it. I think it takes more ingenuity, creativity and thought.

Queen Mary really showed you can do a state visit with rewears and reworking pieces and look amazing!

This article has a photo of Mary’s new hairdresser disembarking the Royal yacht Frelinghighness.

I don’t know Danish, but it seems the young man is the new hairdresser … “nye frisor” … at least to me.

Her er dronning Marys nye frisør. Måske kender du ham fra "Bachelorette".

Lots of links to various Danish publications in the Danish Forum, which is where I came across it.
 
She looks great! Not only rewearing a gala dress but making it look new. beautiful!
 
Stunning!! What a rework of that gown! Also she had only worn it that one time before for the wedding in Sweden. And I love she's wearing the pearl parure but in her own way! She is making it her own. It looks gorgeous on her!!
 
She looks great. But i had thought she would remove that light shawl covering the top when inside

It's not removable. It's part of the dress's new bodice. You can see where it's attached to the base of the dress and to the sleeves.

Mary is the queen of "up-cycling" dresses because she did it again. This time, it's a reworking of the dress she wore to Carl Philip and Sofia's wedding.

Great look. I am a big fan of royals reusing and upcycling their gala wear, and Mary has always been very good at it. Long may that continue.
 
This dress is stunning. I really like the changes to it.
 
I love the change to the gown. The shawl softens the look. The color is great on her and looks amazing with her tiara and jewels.
