Queen Mary looked fabulous as she stepped out on Friday evening for a dinner at the Danish residence in Brasília during her solo trip to Brazil.

The Australian-born royal, 52, was seen wearing a Diane von Furstenberg tan and white polka dot midi dress with a halterneck - a rarely-worn cut for the Danish Queen.

King Frederik's wife's satin number featured a cinched waistline and floaty skirt. It was teamed with gold open-toe heels and a bejewelled belt for an extra touch of glamour. 

She last wore the garment in 2019 when she attended the Carlsberg Foundation Awards. On this occasion, Mary wore her brunette locks in tumbling curls as she participated in her capacity of protector of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and met embassy staff.

Mary's final look of the trip was worn to visit Palácio Itamaraty which houses the Brazilian Foreign Ministry.

The mother of four looked classically elegant in a khaki A-line skirt which was belted and teamed with a white linen shirt with the sleeves rolled.

Earlier in the trip, Queen Margrethe's daughter-in-law was seen during a visit to the public school Centro Educacional do Lago where she was introduced to the Brazilian school food program. 

She wowed in a blue and white striped shirt dress from Stella Jean with a tan raffia belt and brown leather heels.

Prince Christian's mother always looks super stylish in polka dots. Last August she was seen welcoming Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and his wife Olena in the Hall of Knights at Christiansborg Castle where she wore a black and white number.

The then-Crown Princess Mary teamed the Prada dress featuring gold buttons with snakeskin nude pumps.
