Queen Mary of Denmark resembled a glistening mermaid on Tuesday evening as she stepped out to celebrate her daughter Princess Isabella's 18th birthday.
For the special family occasion, Mary, 53, dipped into the archives, recycling her black satin top and fringed sequin skirt from Malene Birger.

She wore her glossy brunette locks in a sleek style and highlighted her features with a radiant beauty blend, including a slick of rosy lipstick and fluttery mascara.
At Tuesday's glitzy concert, Mary was spotted beaming with pride as she supported her daughter on her big day. Photos from the event showed the proud mum smiling lovingly at Isabella who looked regal dressed in a sparkling midnight blue frock and chandelier earrings.

The Australian-born royal was joined at the event by her husband King Frederik and their three other children: Crown Prince Christian, 19, Prince Vincent, 14, and Princess Josephine, 14.

Also in attendance were the former queen, Margrethe, who donned a sumptuous magenta gown and an oversized furry stole, Queen Anne-Marie of Greece and Princess Benedikte.
Who is Princess Isabella?
Princess Isabella of Denmark, Countess of Monpezat, was born on 21 April 2007 at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen. She was the first girl born into the Danish royal family since the birth of her grand-aunt, Queen Anne-Marie of Greece, in 1946. She is currently second-in-line to the Danish throne after her older brother, Crown Prince Christian.
She was christened on 1 July 2007 at the Royal Chapel of Fredensborg Palace. Frederik's first cousin, Princess Alexia of Greece and Denmark, and Queen Mathilde of Belgium were named as Princess Isabella's godmothers at her baptism.
