Queen Mary looked every bit the fairytale royal on 6 January as she joined King Frederik in arriving at Amalienborg Palace by carriage for the New Year's parade and levee for officers of the armed forces and emergency services.
The Australian-born Danish royal, 53, was spotted as she was escorted by the Life Guards Horse Squadron from Christiansborg Palace to Amalienborg Palace. She wore a dramatic cream coat, identified by Royal Fashion Police on Instagram as the 'Kido' coat by Joseph, which coordinated with the snow-covered setting, before stepping inside and removing her outerwear to reveal a glorious metallic gown.
Queen Mary rocks bespoke Teri Jon

Her gown, which also boasted the most elegant high neckline, was teamed with white gloves for a classic, regal finish and a solid gold bangle.

It's a look that Oriona Robb, a luxury stylist with over 20 years of experience in the fashion industry, has high praise for.

The stylist also offers us her tips for incorporating metallic detailing into your own evening look…
- "Use metallics as detailing, not the main fabric, to keep the look refined.
- Anchor shine with neutral base tones like ivory, stone, navy or black.
- Choose only one dominant metallic (gold, silver or champagne) to avoid visual clutter.
- Let structure and tailoring do the work; metallics shine best when the silhouette is clean and confident."
