Queen Mary Stuns in Gold Gown: A Fairytale Fashion Moment
On January 6th, Queen Mary of Denmark embodied the essence of a fairytale queen as she arrived at Amalienborg Palace with King Frederik for the New Year’s parade and levee. The Australian-born royal, aged 53, was escorted by the Life Guards Horse Squadron from Christiansborg Palace, making a grand entrance that captivated onlookers.
Queen Mary’s Fashion Statement
Queen Mary initially wore a dramatic cream coat, identified as the ‘Kido’ coat by Joseph, which perfectly complemented the snowy setting. Upon entering the palace, she revealed a breathtaking metallic gown, the floor-length ‘Brocade Shirt Gown’ by Teri Jon by Rickie Freeman. This gown featured intricate gold detailing across the bodice and skirt, along with three-quarter-length sleeves and an elegant high neckline. Her ensemble was completed with white gloves and a solid gold bangle, exuding classic regal elegance.
Her hair, styled in a balletic bun, showcased the Anne of Orange’s earrings from the 1700s. Her makeup look included bronzed skin and a subtly glossy lip, creating a harmonious and sophisticated appearance.
Expert Fashion Tips
According to luxury stylist Oriona Robb, with over 20 years of experience in the fashion industry, Queen Mary’s look was a masterclass in balancing metallic embroidery with a classic silhouette. Robb shares her tips for incorporating metallic detailing into evening wear:
- Use metallics as detailing, not the main fabric, to keep the look refined.
- Anchor shine with neutral base tones like ivory, stone, navy, or black.
- Choose only one dominant metallic (gold, silver, or champagne) to avoid visual clutter.
- Let structure and tailoring do the work; metallics shine best when the silhouette is clean and confident.

The highlight of her outfit was the Rose-Cut Diamond Bandeau Tiara, featuring diamonds from a medieval-inspired belt owned by Princess Charlotte Amalie of Denmark.
