Queen Mary of Denmark dazzled in a gown previously worn by the Princess of Wales at her annual Evening Party for Art and Culture alongside King Frederik on Friday.

For the occasion, she chose a blush-hued Jenny Packham masterpiece that Princess Kate has worn twice before - at Crown Prince Al-Hussein's wedding reception in June 2023 and at the Diplomatic Corps in December of that same year.


The two royals are often compared for their similar looks and fashion sense.

Queen Mary first wore the Jenny Packham glittering gown, which features long sleeves and thousands of sequins, in 2022 for her 50th birthday celebrations.

It is adorned with diamantés around the neckline and torso, creating a flattering belt effect.

For her recent appearance, Queen Mary wore her hair down with a glorious tiara, completing the look with dazzling pointed-toe heels.

She was seen enjoying herself dancing with her arm around King Frederik.

The glamorous evening prompted enthusiastic reactions from fans.

One begged: "Wow! A video, please!!!" in response to the photos.

Others commented: "Our royal couple is just unique in every way" and "like a fairy tale."

The Danish Queen's styling of the dress was remarkably similar to how Princess Kate wore it.

When Princess Kate wore the same gown, she also styled her brunette hair down with immaculate curls.

She paired it with a special tiara made by Garrard in 1914 for Queen Mary, which was also a favourite of Princess Diana.

Kate completed her ensemble with a Prada 'Satin Logo Box Clutch'.

On both occasions, the Princess of Wales wore her blue sash signifying her position as a Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order.

It is the highest rank of chivalry personally awarded by the late Queen and recognises Kate's service to the Crown.
