As sports delegations from across Europe arrive in Paris for the XXXIII edition of the Olympic Games, the royal houses are not far behind.
Frederik and Mary of Denmark have arrived in the city. Like their Spanish counterparts, the Danish royal couple met with their country’s athletes, thus kicking off their participation in the 2024 Olympic Games.
Although the opening ceremony will be tomorrow afternoon at Place du Trocadéro, today is a day reserved for more intimate and meaningful encounters.
For Frederik and Mary, the Olympic atmosphere has a special meaning: their love story began at the Sydney Olympics in 2000.
At that time, the young crown prince of Denmark, who was in Australia for the Olympics, decided to go out and have fun in the city with his brother Nicholas of Greece and Martha Louise of Norway.
On the other hand, Mary Donaldson, a 28-year-old advertising executive, had also gone out to a pub with her friends. Somehow, as fate would have it, Frederik and Mary ended up dancing together all night, and he was so enchanted that they decided to exchange phone numbers.
Returning to an Olympic Games, this time as King and Queen, is an emotional journey that reflects their personal and marital evolution.
Queen Mary of Denmark in red jumpsuit by Max Mara
For this special occasion, Queen Mary opted for a new outfit that highlighted her elegance and sense of style.
Mary chose a garment from the prestigious Italian brand Max Mara. Her choice was a jumpsuit from the current spring-summer collection, valued at $900.
The vibrant red of the outfit captured everyone’s attention, as well as its clean-lined design and minimalist cut.
Sleeveless and with super wide legs, the jumpsuit features a side crossover, known as a wrap, which instantly slims the figure.
Other details include a round neckline, a draped seam on the left shoulder, and a fitted waist with a small belt featuring the signature logo as a closure.
Mary of Denmark completed her look with an off-the-shoulder white blazer and thin strappy sandals with heels. In her hand, she carried a brown leather handbag with a short handle, demonstrating once again her ability to combine fashion and sophistication in every event she attends.
