Princess Mary dazzles in $1800 designer outfit in Denmark

Australian-born royal Crown Princess Mary dazzled in a designer outfit as she hosted a reception at Amalienborg Palace in Denmark.

The Princess, 45, looked positively radiant in a gold silk top and midnight blue chiffon skirt from London-based designer Roksanda Ilincic as she attended the event for recipients of the Crown Princess Mary Scholarships 2017.

The scholarships have historically supported Danish students pursuing studies in Tasmania, with each recipient receiving AU $2,000 towards the cost of their studies.

But those hoping to emulate the fashionable Royal’s glamorous look on the occasion may require deep pockets – with her outfit worth an eye-watering AU $1800.

The Ilya textured silk satin top retails for 637 Euros, which is equivalent to AU $958, while the Colvin ruffled seersucker-chiffon midi skirt has retailed for around AU $910 online.

The sartorially-savvy Princess is not afraid to up the stakes in the style department, with her latest appearance coming hot on the heels of another Royal engagement – the opening of Denmark’s parliament.

For that occasion, Mary looked to be channeling the Sixties as she stepped out in a powder blue coat with her husband Prince Frederik.  

The annual event marked the start of the new Danish parliamentary year, and is traditionally attended by the Danish royalty, including head of state, Queen Margrethe.

Other royals officiating included Princess Marie, Prince Joachim and  Princess Benedikte.

The dress code for the official event was formal, and Princess Mary’s demure ensemble was perfectly paired with nude pumps, a royal purple velvet pillbox hat and a posey of brightly coloured roses.

A large statement brooch, diamond earrings, a violet-coloured clutch and gloves added a modern twist to her classic look.

It’s not the first time the Princess has rocked a look that appears to take inspiration from the iconic Sixties.

Previously the stylish royal has been seen in a Peter Pan collar and the purple pillbox hat she wore to the opening of Parliament has been paired by Mary with similar-style outfits before.

The hat is perhaps a nod to the iconic style of former American First Lady Jackie Kennedy, who became well known for her glamorous gloves and hats.
