Princess Isabella of Denmark Made Her Tiara Debut in a Piece With a Special Royal History
Specifically, Isabella topped her orange Carina Grønning gown with the Daisy Bandeau Tiara, also known as the Turquoise Daisy bandeau. The piece, which features a floral motif of daisies with turquoise-inset petals and diamond-studded leaves, has a long royal history, dating back to Isabella's great-great grandmother, Crown Princess Margaret. Margaret, who was herself a granddaughter of England's Queen Victoria, carried the nickname Daisy with her when she married the future King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden in 1905. Margaret's daughter, Princess Ingrid, inherited the tiara following her mother's death in 1920 and brought it with her to Denmark when she married the future Frederik IX.
Poignantly, the tiara was, according to the palace, a gift from the princess's grandmother, Queen Margrethe, who also happens to be known by the nickname Daisy within the royal family. Per a release about the tiara, it can also be reconfigured as a bracelet.
Along with the tiara, Isabella also wore a sash of royal orders, including the Order of the Elephant, which is 'the oldest and most distinguished Danish order of chivalry,' according to the palace's website. She also wore a miniature portrait of her father, King Frederik X.
While her actual birthday was just yesterday, the princess started celebrating last week when she and other members of the royal family attended a special performance at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen.

Function and Fantasy: The Spring 2026 Copenhagen Fashion Week Trend Report
Trendwise, there's overlap with what we've seen for the 2026 resort season, in terms of suiting and utility. Summer vibes were evoked by the use of raffia and fringe, as well as the mix of swimwear and ready-to-wear. Duvet dressing, pajama stripes, and boxers evoked the sleep cycle that was so strong at the recent men's shows. Lace-trimmed lingerie took this out-from-under type of dressing in a more feminine direction, as did white dresses, some leaning into bridal. Wiring and boning was used to create permanently windswept scarves, unexpected volumes, and unexpected shapes. The sun came out and spirits were high in the Danish capital, yet even in this fairytale city, it was impossible to pretend that all was right in the world, hence Esben Weile Kjær and Anne Sofie Madsen's rat bag and looks for summer goths. Drip Dry People really do swim in Copenhagen's harbor, but you don't need to be in Denmark to make a splash by mixing swimwear with ready-to-wear. Shape Shifters Using wires, boning, and Alexis Carrington worthy shoulder pads, designers made scarves float in air without wind, and sculpted intriguing shapes around the body. Tie One On Layering is a tenet of Scandi style, even in the summer. It can take the form of tying a sweater around your neck or waist, or, as seen in the streets and on the runways, scarf-wrapped skirts. In Full Swing Tassels and fringe, ribbons and raw edges added movement and texture to summer dressing. Getting Leggy With It On the shorts front, biker shorts cycled into view, as did diaper styles for him and her. Out From Under Like circadian rhythms, designers kept duvet dressing, pajama stripes, and boxers, worn as shorts or peeping above waistlines, on repeat. Summer Goth While some designers conjured cottage core with Liberty prints and headscarves, others were more interested in leather motos and harder edged looks in shades of black. Mid-Century Midis Sylvia Plath proved a below-the-knee skirt needn't look frumpy. Now designers are revisiting this conservative length. Just Be Useful Workhorse wardrobe staples like belt bags, cargos, and water resistant outerwear don't have to look dull. Tout de Suit It's impossible to imagine a Copenhagen Fashion Week that doesn't feature some smart tailoring. Bridal Party White dresses, some made from upcycled home textiles or with broderie anglaise, were all the rage.

8 of the biggest trends from Copenhagen Fashion Week to wear now, from dresses over trousers to polka dots
Another Copenhagen Fashion Week has come and gone, and although the event itself might be over, the inspiration it provided will live on (hello to pouring over street style pics). While the catwalks were dedicated to displaying the Spring/Summer 2026 collections, there were plenty of outfit ideas and styling hacks that can easily be put to the test right now — and likely with pieces already in your wardrobe. Allow me to take you through the biggest trends I spotted from the shows... Bright and bold colours have become synonymous with CPHFW, but this season it was dialled up a notch. Patterns and textures were clashed together, for mash-up looks that somehow managed to still look cohesive. Zalando Visionary Award winner Iamisigo is a "experimental wearable art" label, with all pieces being traditionally handcrafted in Africa. A multitude of fabrics including glass, metal and cotton created dynamic, eye-catching looks that honoured heritage techniques while still feeling modern. Finnish brand Marimekko styled candy-colour stripes with clashing, graphic florals and knee-high ribbed socks. Danish label Caro Editions was founded in 2022, and upcycles luxury deadstock fabrics into new designs. Lace, gingham, tartan and satin were all worn together (and also seen on one-of-a-kind bags made in collaboration with Mulberry) for stylish yet surprising looks. We won't quote the infamous Devil Wears Prada line makes sense that floral dresses took centre stage at CPHFW this season. Cecilie Bahnsen, whose eponymous label usually shows in Paris, returned to her native Copenhagen for a special 10th anniversary presentation, much to the excitement of many (myself included). Sculptural flower and petal appliqué shapes are somewhat of the brand's signature, appearing on whimsical dresses, structural skirts and Asics trainers. Nicklas Skovgaard has become one of the most exciting designers to watch from Copenhagen, and his show was filled with voluminous, tulle-stuffed, floral-printed dresses (all worn with Scholl clogs, my personal shoe of the summer). Rave Review, another Danish label focussed on upcycling and re-purposing vintage fabrics, made use of floral bed linens by creating dresses, skirts and jackets. BRB, cutting up my old quilt as we speak... Silk scarves and bandanas have been trending in a big way this summer, and the effects of such could be seen across the Copenhagen runways. Baum und Pferdgarten went down the traditional route for its equestrian inspired show, with printed scarves knotted on top of blazers. Co-founder Helle Hestehave told Cosmopolitan UK: "We had long wanted to explore a theme centred around horses. During a walk through the old stables north of Copenhagen, the location of our show, we instantly knew we wanted to create a collection and presentation inspired by everything that unfolds at a horse race: from the guests attending, to the highly skilled jockeys, and the raw, authentic surroundings." MDKT Studio styled almost every look in its show with matching scarves that stuck out behind the wearer's heads, as if a gust of wind was permanently lifting them. And at The Garment, models wore triangle bandanas around their necks with ruffled romantic dresses and riding boots, creating a Western-inspired look. Yes, you have read this correctly. Millennials like myself are old enough to remember this trend the first time around, but it appears to be back in a big way. CMMN SWDN styled knee-length knitted and chiffon sleeveless dresses over tailored trousers, giving a more grown-up and polished take. Stel presented asymmetrical pleated skirts over technical and tartan trousers for a more grungy feel, and Skall Studio paired wide-leg jeans with a striped mini shift dress — basically, there's a way to wear a dress over trousers that suits everyone's style, so no excuses. Tartan and plaid are wardrobe staples — it almost feels redundant to refer to them as a trend they're such classics. However, you couldn't ignore just how much the pattern dominated CPHFW. Alis's Oasis soundtracked show gave big 90s vibes, alongside its plaid football shirts, skirts and bikinis. Newcomer Martin Quad's gothic monochromatic collection was punctuated by bursts of hot pink tartan, and Rolf Ekroth's majestic woodland presentation was brimming with clashing colours and patterns, all stitched together to create unique outerwear. You can't beat a bit of fringe for adding drama to an outfit. Anne Sofie Madsen had one of the buzziest shows of the season, largely thanks to her giant, metallic, rat-shaped handbags, but her statement fringed dress and hat were equally exciting. Stem, an innovative zero-waste production brand, hosted a weaving workshop which served as its fashion show. The raw hems of every garment created an un-done, rough-and-ready fringed effect. Herskind went for a more polished approach, with long leather fringed dresses and skirts being worn with giant fold-over clutch bags and sharp jackets. You might call it the pattern of the summer, but hell, I'm calling it the pattern of the year. You simply couldn't move in Copenhagen without hitting a polka dot, whether it was on the catwalks or the cobbled streets of the city itself. Caro Editions used the print throughout its collection, often doubling up with clashing colours and spot sizes. At Rotate, the final show of the week, polka dots were small and dainty, on sheer halterneck tops, jumpsuits and micro-shorts. Creative directors Thora Valdimars and Jeanette Madsen told Cosmopolitan UK: "This collection was created with the feeling of a sun-soaked summer getaway in mind. We got a lot of inspiration from the 70s, all reimagined with that Rotate twist. It's all about softness, fluidity, and elegant draping." At Rolf Ekroth, giant dots were painted onto T-shirts, jeans, jumpers, skirts and even model's faces. Multi-coloured beads featured heavily throughout Iamisigo's collection, creating bags, vests and even floor-length dresses. Creative director Bubu Ogisi said of her brand's ethos: "Heritage isn't backwards-looking — it's the past, the present and the future." At CMMN SWDN, models carried cross-body, tote and pouch style bead bags with their soft, tailored outfits. And at Gestuz, a beaded bra top had fringing right down to the wearer's knees, ticking off two trends in one. Rebecca Jane Hill is the Senior Fashion Editor at Cosmopolitan UK.

Inside the Runway Moments Everyone's Talking About at Copenhagen Fashion Week
Is it just me, or does everyone get a glimmer of excitement (hope?) for the future of fashion when they see the runways of Copenhagen Fashion Week? For all the commentary that may stem from other cities, it seems as though CPHFW—with its commitment to sustainability and inclusivity, in addition to its remarkable talent—has become a favorite among fashion editors and industry insiders (no doubt in part due to its CEO, Cecilie Thorsmark). According to Chloe King, director of fashion and lifestyle at Saks Fifth Avenue, two overarching aesthetic themes stood out this season: the classic tropes of 'Danish summer' (easy poplin, lace and crochet, florals, and layered knits) and a Danish twist on the 1980s—think strong shoulders, polka dots and graphic prints, moto details, balloon pants, and micro minis. And, of course, there's also the street style, where showgoers lean into the effortlessly cool (with a hint of kitsch) Scandi girl aesthetic. 'On the street, the flip-flop was clearly the shoe of the week—classic and effortless in both a leather kitten-heel version and a sporty rubber take,' King says. The pastel palette we saw on February runways came alive on the Danish fashion set in soft blues, butter yellows, and hazy grays. 'Polka dots were the standout print, and crochet hats or handkerchiefs emerged as the must-have hair accessories,' she adds. While no major fashion houses call the Danish capital home, there are, without a doubt, designers who have made a name for themselves—and for the city they reside in—generating buzz for what's to come. Established players, like Cecilie Bahnsen—who has shown in Paris for the last five years—made a triumphant return home to present a collection in honor of her 10th anniversary, showing iterations of her signature pieces, including ethereal dresses made of fabrics that float with each step. Newer names, like Stem—a zero-waste fashion brand—hosted a makers' workshop, where attendees participated in basket-weaving techniques as part of the show. King also pointed to the debut of Nigerian newcomer Iamisigo, praising the 'fantastic cutting, emotionally rich silhouettes, and the way African craft complexity was brought into a contemporary context.' With such innovative minds behind these labels, it's easy to see why the trends that emerge from CPHFW continue to lead the charge. If you're one to stay on top of the latest trends, study up on these—they're sure to make a lasting impact on the seasons ahead. Light as Air Open Gallery I'm beginning to think of sheer materials as the new neutral—and if you ask me why, it's because I see it every season. King noted a clear styling shift this week toward layering. 'There was experimentation with sheer layering—embellished skirts over trousers and slips over knits—that added a femininity and ethereal quality to otherwise classic wardrobe pieces.' Sheer materials also dominated, from beautifully draped dresses and trousers as seen in Freya Dalsjø and The Garment to more unexpected takes (like a floral appliquéd dress at Cecilie Bahnsen or the sheer popover as a styling piece for Munthe). It's official: Sheer is a mainstay. Spotlights on Stripes Open Gallery Polka dots may have been the print of the street style set, but the spring/summer 2026 season is all about its cousin, the stripe. Big, bold stripes made their way down the runways at Marimekko, Baum und Pferdgarden, and Munthe, but if you prefer them in their narrower form, they also made an appearance at Alis and Henrik Vibskov (for both the minimalists and maximalists alike). A Touch of Lace Open Gallery Head-turning textures are nothing new for Copenhagen Fashion Week, but something I found particularly intriguing this season was the use of lace. More often than not, designers featured the fabric as a trim for an added hint of romance, whether it was on the edge of a pair of track shorts (like the pair that walked down the runway of The Garment), the hemline or seams of a dress (at Bonnetje and OpéraSPORT), or as unique detail for a top (at Rave Review). 'Crochet and lace brought an artisinal touch, even to the most minimal collections,' King says. 'I loved the oversized, relaxed trouser shape—not too exaggerated, but with a perfect low rise and just the right amount of pooling at the ankle to evoke a sense of ease.' The Power of the Scarf Open Gallery Small but mighty, the scarf is having a major moment as a styling piece. We've been seeing this as a viral trend among It girls already, but Copenhagen Fashion Week has just solidified it as a bona fide trend—particularly in the form of a silk option tied around the waist, as seen on a model at Baum und Pferdgarten. The scarf has literally become your accessory's favorite accessory. 'Beyond the flip-flops and crochet hats, the east-west shoulder bag—already popular in other fashion capitals—was the key silhouette in Copenhagen, and accessories like scarves added even more personality to looks,' King says. Buttercream Delight Open Gallery Tired of butter yellow yet? Fashion sure isn't. And maybe, like shades of green, this creamy, pale shade of the sunshine-y hue has been a neutral all along. Either way, you couldn't miss this on the Copenhagen catwalks. King tied it to the week's trend du jour. 'The pastel palette we saw on February runways came alive on the Danish fashion set in soft blues, butter yellows, and hazy grays.' King explains. This creamy hue in particular was spotted on MKDT Studio, Iamisigo, Skall Studio, Freya Dalsjø, list goes on, but I'll stop right there. You just need to see for yourself. The Return of Red Open Gallery Another color that dominated the runways? Red. Yes, red has been in many a trend story before, but after a short hiatus (perhaps to make room for all the butter yellow and icy blue out there), red is back—and it's the pop of color that I so desperately needed. Make a statement in head-to-toe red like the models of Niklas Skovgaard, Forza Collective, or Gestuze. Or, let it be one of the focal points of your look with a trench coat as seen at Skall Studio or Herskind. No matter what you decide, it's bound to clock with someone. Eclectic Romance Open Gallery I can only speak for myself, but if I'm going to dress in any way that feels overtly romantic, it'll be the Scandi girl way. Undeniably whimsical without wasting a drop of streetwear cool, this season proved that yes, you can find equilibrium between the two—and one of the best ways to do that is with updated textures. Case in point: Cecilie Bahnsen's take on a sweatshirt and maxi skirt paired with the latest sneakers from her Asics collaboration. Another example is the textured open cardigan styled with cargo pants spotted at OpéraSPORT. Of course, if you want a more straightforward example, Gestuz styled a flowy bohemian-inspired dress with snakeskin-print boots. Bigger Bags Open Gallery To be honest, I never fully understood the microbag trend—especially as a woman who schleps through New York City with her whole life in her bag. So you can imagine my delight when I noticed that extra-large bags continue to be a trend on the CPHFW runways. Totes positioned as oversized, slouchy clutches in the crook of a model's arm were the name of the game here, so you best get those arms ready. Schlep on, my friends.
