Queen Mary looked so elegant as she stepped out on Wednesday during a visit to Assens as part of her and King Frederik's summer tour to Danish municipalities.
The Australian-born royal, 52, was spotted in a Serena van der Woodsen-worthy look as she rocked a layered and belted look.

Mary opted for an unexpected strapless floaty midi dress from Zimmermann in an apricot hue with a floral print. She covered her shoulders with a beige blazer from Ralph Lauren with a waterfall front and mini pockets on the front.

It is not the first time the royal has worn a belted blazer to accentuate her silhouette. In 2020, the daughter-in-law of Queen Margrethe was seen alongside Mary Ellen Miller, the Australian Ambassador to Denmark, during the official inauguration of the Australian War Monument at the Churchill Memorial Park in Copenhagen.

The royal has also used a subtle built-in belt in her evening looks to create a fit and flare outline. Back in 2013, Mary was using this technique to enhance her shoulder-baring pink gown by Birgit Hallstein worn to a dinner hosted by Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands ahead of her abdication.

Queen Mary looked lovely on Tuesday when she wore a floaty skirt for a visit to the Baltic Sea island of Ærø on Tuesday. The royal wore the white fitted 'Brooket' shirt from Bagutta with the beige dropped-hem skirt from Joseph.
To accessorize her look, the queen wore an unexpected pair of blue heels from Jimmy Choo and a hat from Canopy Bay.
