Turkish State visit to Denmark

President of Turkey, H.E. Abdullah Gül is paying an official visit to Denmark upon the invitation of Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II.

President Gül and Queen Margrethe II had tete-a tete chairing the meetings between the delegations. Moreover, President Gül participated in Trade and Investment Forum organized by the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB) and its Danish counterpart as well as met with Turkish and Danish businessmen at a working lunch.
Speaking at the official dinner that Queen Margrethe II and Prince Henrik hosted in his honor at the Amalienborg Palace, President Gül shared his happiness to be visiting Denmark, which is known as “the land of happy people” on the occasion of the first ever state visit.

The dress in question here is this. Something new, and something unexpected

If you are wondering if you have seen int previously - well, you have - even if it was in a bit of a different styling. The dress was made by Australian designer Carla Zampatti and was created especially for Mary's photo shoot for Australian Women's Weekly. It's a custom version of a gown from the designer's existing collection, done in pale pink brocade and without the high-low hemline variation for this state dinner.

Princess Mary even wore some of the same accessories as for the photo shoot. Namely the bracelets Mary wore for the first time for Princess Madleine's wedding. Because it is a custom creation we don't really know the price, or if Princess Mary was able to keep all the dresses from the photo shoot as a present.

But even if she had to pay for those gowns - Mary almost stumbled on the dress' hem walking from the car onto the red carpet - it is a special privilege to have a princess as advert for a designers new clothes.

Princess Mary paired the dress with new fabulous Gianvito Rossi Shoes, which seem to become a staple in her wardrobe

Gianvito Rossi “mesh-trimmed Suede Pumps” = $741

Annikat "Wing Cuff" White gold = $20,489.49 / per cuff

Even though a great dress, I would not have chosen it for the princess. She is of mature age and the dress is a bit to girly for my taste. But that is just my opinion.

I chose a bit of a sleeker version
