Crown Princess Mary wowed gathered crowds this week – yet again – as she stepped out in style to open Denmark’s annual flower festival.
The ever-stylish Australian-born royal attended the stunning exhibition, held in the Danish town, Odense, stylishy attired in a black and white knee-length floral-patterned dress.
Ralph Lauren was the designer of choice for the satorially-savvy princess, who accessorised her simple, elegant look with a wide brimmed-straw hat.

In keeping with her summery look, the Princess paired her form-fitting dress with a pair of low-heeled white pumps and simple black clutch.
The Danish royal kept a white wrap close to hand in case the weather turned chill.
The 45-year-old was the guest of honour at the annual event, which she’s been a patron of since 2012.

The distinguished royal was shown around the garden exhibition, before she later gave a speech and posed for snaps with a bouquet of lavish blooms.
It’s been a busy time for Princess Mary and Prince Frederik with their six-year-old twins, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, starting school earlier this week.

Although first day nerves were to be expected – Prince Frederik looked a tad emotional – the pair were soon settled, and even posed for a few snaps.
