Queen Mary of Denmark Wears Iconic Gown Previously Favored by Kate Middleton

The Danish queen donned a glittering Jenny Packham dress for a gala, echoing a look worn by the Princess of Wales at high-profile events.

Queen Mary of Denmark wore a pale pink Jenny Packham gown to an Arts and Culture Ball at Christiansborg Palace on February 28, 2025.
The same dress has been worn by Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, at two notable events in 2023, including a Jordanian royal wedding and Buckingham Palace's Diplomatic Corps dinner.
Queen Mary accessorized the gown with her Edwardian tiara and statement earrings, while Kate paired it with the Lover's Knot tiara and Greville Chandelier earrings, both with historical royal significance.
The Arts and Culture Ball, a longstanding Danish royal tradition, included a performance of the 19th-century Les Lanciers dance, led by Queen Mary and King Frederik.
Both royals are often compared for their similar classic fashion sense, frequently choosing the same designers and occasionally the same outfits.
