Queen Mary of Denmark Sees Blue in Jesper Høvring

Queen Mary of Denmark fashioned another formal look on Monday in a coordinated deep blue velvet Jesper Høvring set for a New Year’s Court event at the Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen.

The Danish queen consort wore a midnight blue jacket and long velvet skirt in the same tone for the formal occasion. Designed by the Copenhagen-based couturier, the matching set featured a formfitting silhouette, with long sleeves and an A-line skirt.

Asymmetry and modern touches also featured as part of Queen Mary’s sartorial statement, with a rounded high neckline and front placket closure on the side. Queen Mary adorned her look with pieces honoring Denmark’s royal family, including an official portrait of her husband, King Frederik X.

As for jewelry pieces, the Danish queen consort wore a pair of peal Poire set earrings, which coordinated with a statement cocktail ring. Queen Mary also carried a Quidam Bags clutch in a shade of navy, complementing her look.

Queen Mary of Denmark’s velvet look was a stark shift from her New Year’s Day celebrations ensemble, also featuring pieces by Høvring. On Friday, the royal married her Lasse Spangenberg-designed delicate lace top with a champagne-toned Høvring skirt — a statement piece Queen Mary wore on previous royal occasions.

Since founding his maison in 2001, Høvring’s designs have catered to aesthetic timelessness, with handmade haute couture pieces fit for a fairy tale. Several of Høvring’s pieces take inspiration from the design codes of Christian Dior, Cristobal Balenciaga and Madeleine Vionnet, among others, per Høvring’s official website.

Since ascending the throne alongside her husband in January 2024, Queen Mary of Denmark’s royal style has been dominantly comprised of statement-making power pieces with touches of femininity throughout. The Danish queen consort’s wardrobe consists of patterned power suits along with Jesper Høvring’s designs, among other looks.
