Queen Mary's sartorial portfolio seldom disappoints and she simply oozed royal glamour in new photos from her son, Crown Prince Christian's, graduation in new photos released on Friday.
The glamorous snaps of the occasion, which took place on Tuesday, showed the monarch sporting a stunning summer blue Ralph Lauren linen suit, adorned with white pinstripes. She swept her long hair back into a relaxed ponytail but her accessories were anything but downplayed as she carried a stunning Prada tote bag and added 18 carat-gold necklaces.

Adding extra pazazz, Mary opted for statement gold 'ocean shield' earrings by jewellery brand Elhanati. She also slipped on a pair of stylish blue sunglasses, perfectly matching the hues of her Ralph Lauren ensemble.

Proud mum Mary, along with King Frederick and Christian's sisters Isabella and Josephine were beaming at his achievement. Mary was pictured filming her son and his peer group as they filed out of the ceremony clad in traditional graduation hats named the studenterhue.

Just hours before, Mary was captured in an equally glamorous outfit for the first half of the day.

Instead of sweeping her hair back, she opted to wear her gorgeous chestnut brown locks free-flowing and rocked a pair of chic Gianvito Rossi sandals in tan that featured a flattering ankle strap.

Following his joyful graduation celebrations, Crown Prince Christian is expected to attend university in the autumn.
