Always one to experiment with her style, the Princess donned a chic camo blouse believed to be from Proenza Schouler and a striking new knee-length leather skirt.
The skirt featured a sheer panel along the hem and its A-line shape balanced the high neck blouse and flattered her shape.
Mary completed her look with a pair of snakeskin Prada pumps and understated jewellery by her favourite jeweller, Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

The look divided the online fashion community, however, with style bloggers debating the royal’s outfit on various royal style forums.
‘Leather can be very elegant, but this is not how it’s done. Leather needs simple, no-fuss items… Mary’s outfit is guilty of that,’ one blogger wrote.
‘I think she looks good, and appropriate for the event. I think the skirt is interesting and the hem treatment lightens it up,’ another argued.
Despite her increasingly demanding schedule, the mother-of-four appeared relaxed and cheerful as she mingled with attendees and posed for snaps with fellow presenters

‘As a female leader in a still-man-dominated business world, I have experienced that in many contexts extra effort is required to be considered for the most exciting jobs in the management and management context,’ she said.
‘On the other hand, I have also experienced that due to the debate about women in management, we get extra attention and in many contexts benefits when we get the jobs in question.’
