Queen Mary of Denmark marked the new year with a stunning mermaid look as she accompanied King Frederik on Monday.
The Danish King and Queen were hosting a party for the Diplomatic Corps at Christian VII’s Palace.
The event honoured the judges of the Supreme Court, the officer corps of the Royal Lifeguards and the Guards Regiment, as well as mayors and regional councillors from all over Denmark.
Mary was spotted in a glorious midnight blue velvet top with long fitted sleeves and a Mandarin collar.

The jacket was paired with a mermaid-style skirt that just skimmed the floor; the queen accessorised her look with a pair of rounded-toe heels and a navy clutch bag.
Her choice of jewellery completed the look as she wore earrings of the Khedive of Egypt Parure, as well as the Sash and Star of the Order of the Elephant, King Frederik X’s Portrait Order, and the Badge of the Order of the Dannebrog.
Alongside her, King Frederik donned a uniform with his medals, the Sash and Star of the Order of the Elephant, as well as the insignia of his other Orders.
