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.

Queen Mary wore an unusual piece of headwear

For an unusual departure from bouncy waves in her daytime hair repertoire, the mother of four wore her brunette locks in a low bun to cater to an intricate cream fascinator that was attached at the back of her head.

Mary wore a belted blazer with her skirt

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.
