Boyfriends of Instagram! Princess Mary's nephew Count Nikolai proudly takes photos of his girlfriend Benedikte Thoustrup at Australian Fashion Week
Princess Mary's nephew Count Nikolai of Monpezat and his girlfriend Benedikte Thoustrup looked runway ready on Thursday as they stepped out during Australian Fashion Week. The pair posed for photos ahead of the day four sartorial showcases at Carriageworks in Eveleigh, with Nikolai playing the doting boyfriend-of-Instagram for his partner of seven years. The 24-year-old Danish socialite wore a $249 'draped pattern dress' by Swedish fashion giant H&M and turned side-on to flaunt her lithe frame as Nikolai took photos with his iPhone. Benedikte swept her golden locks into a slick-back ponytail and completed her ensemble with a slouchy brown handbag, pointed-toe purple heels, a pair of elegant dangle earrings and petite sunglasses. Nikolai exuded sophistication and wealth in a statement designer set by Moncler Genius, which is the brand name for collaborations between the luxury Italian fashion brand and, in this case, Mercedes-Benz and Nigoldeneye. In a touching display of affection, Nikolai placed his hand on the small of Benedikte's back as she surveilled his photography efforts. Nikolai splashed more than $3000 on the trendy menswear combo, with the Moncler inscription on the back of his navy denim jacket signalling its AU$2409 designer price tag. The jacket combines a classic, simple cut with modern design, featuring an elegant collar and unique details such as the buttoned chest pocket and contrasting yellow stitching. The matching Moncler cargo jeans retail separately for AU$1831. His jet black hair was impeccably styled, as he added a touch of casual cool to his look with a crisp white T-shirt and sunglasses. Nikolai and Benedikte finished taking their own photos before posing for the press pack outside Carriageworks together, looking every inch like models themselves. The couple looked relaxed and happy as Nikolai held his partner's waist and she wrapped an arm around him and gazed into his eyes, doing away with previous rumours of a split. Late last year, the pair were rumoured to have split after Nikolai and Benedikte had not shared to social media any photos of them together for months. Benedikte, who is the founder of Danish hair beauty company BénéSoie, had posted several glamorous modelling shots to Instagram - and Nikolai was absent from all of them. However, it was clear all was well as the genetically blessed couple cuddled up at hottest event on the Aussie fashion calendar. Their appearance marks Nikolai's confident stride into the fashion world, a journey he embarked on last year. It comes after tensions have risen between the Danish Royal Family since late 2022, when Queen Margrethe stripped Prince Joachim's four children - Nikolai, Felix, Henrik and Athena, of their titles. At the time, Margrethe insisted the move would be 'good for them in their future.' She said it would allow the children - who have maintained their positions in the line of succession - to 'shape their own lives without being limited by the special considerations and duties' that a formal affiliation with the Danish Royal Family involves. But Prince Joachim publicly spoke out against his mother's decision in the days that followed - claiming that his children had been 'harmed' in the process. Joachim, 55, hit out at her 'punishment' and claimed his four kids' identity was being 'removed'. Nikolai has since launched his own Instagram account to promote his modelling career - and has seldom been seen with his cousins and aunt since the announcement.

Count Nikolai of Monpezat has been rubbing shoulders with the Australian A-list this week. The 25-year-old, who is the nephew of Australian-born Queen Mary of Denmark, attended Australian Fashion Week in Sydney on Monday and was back again on Tuesday for day two of the festivities.

He paired a tan jacket with a blue dress shirt, while adding a pair of grey slacks. To add some earth tones to the ensemble, he wore a brown tie in a dappled fabric and dark brown belt.

Alongside him was his girlfriend Benedikte Thoustrup, with the pair looking happy together after fielding split rumours late last year. Nikolai looked smart in a navy blue suit paired with a light blue dress shirt and dark brown tie. Benedikte meanwhile stunned in a strapless, black peplum dress in a maxi length, along with camel toned heels.

Pip Edwards made an appearance at the Carla Zampatti runway show at Australian Fashion Week on Monday.

The designer wore her hair in beachy waves and chose a bronzed makeup palette with a nude lipstick. Meanwhile, Nikolai looked dapper at the event in a navy blue suit paired with a light blue dress shirt and dark brown tie. His girlfriend Benedikte stunned in a strapless, black peplum dress in a maxi length, along with camel toned heels.
