Queen Mary of Denmark was among the European royals to attend the Heads of State reception before the Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony on Friday – and the stylish monarch looked better than ever.
The Danish royals coordinated with the French flag for the occasion, as Queen Mary, 52, stepped out wearing red and white, while King Frederik, 56, opted for a blue ensemble.
The mother-of-four looked elegant in a scarlet red blouse with a wrap-around design and puffed sleeves, paired with white wide-leg trousers that cinched at the waist with a triangle belt.

For her hair, the royal opted for loose waves that beautifully framed her face, while her makeup looked flawless as she sported a soft smokey eye, a flutter of black mascara, and a pink lip with a hint of shine.
King Frederik looked dapper in blue, wearing a navy suit with a white shirt and a striped tie.

The Olympic opening ceremony took place outside of a stadium for the first time in history, with the River Seine serving as a backdrop as athletes made their way down the river on boats.
Lady Gaga and Celine Dion were among the performers of the night, as the Olympic torch was lit and the Eiffel Tower was lit up brightly, shining across the city for the My Heart Will Go On singer.
The Danish royals' official Instagram account shared a photo of the couple at the opening ceremony. The caption translated to: Friendship, solidarity and fair play are the foundations of the Olympic spirit, which in the coming weeks gather nations from across the globe for the world's largest sporting and sporting event."
