Queen Mary epitomised understated elegance on Friday as she stepped out to welcome Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to Amalienborg Palace for his state visit to Denmark. 

The Danish Queen, 52, was seen alongside her husband King Frederik on the steps of the palace wearing a gorgeous tailored coat - the 'Finchley' style from The Fold.

The figure-flattering garment featured a wrap front and was secured at the waist with two buttons. A grey dress peeked out from underneath to match her 'Gianvito Rossi 85' grey suede pumps.

The star of the show was Mary's special brooch. Her diamond accessory was a wedding gift from her late father-in-law Prince Henrik and was passed down to Frederik's bride from his mother, Countess Renée de Monpezat's collection.

It was an outfit elevated with not only one stunning accessory as Mary topped off her look with an ethereal leaf-shaped hat by Susanne Juul and the 'Vega Ocean Pearl' earrings by Dulong.
