‘Burn these pants': Queen Mary of Denmark makes rare fashion faux pas in bizarre culottes ensemble
Denmark's Queen Mary has made a rare fashion misstep after arriving to a major engagement in Copenhagen wearing a pair of linen culottes.
Last week, Mary stepped out in a grey jacket and matching culottes by Danish designer Mark Kenly Domino Tan.
The Hobart-native appeared to blend her Danish and Aussie identities by pairing the bold look with a woven two-tone belt by Aussie label Zimmerman.
Mary, 53, completed the risk-taking look with light brown suede heels from Gianvito Rossi.
The Aussie-born royal made the daring sartorial choice while attending – ironically - the Global Fashion Summit at Copenhagen's DR Concert Hall.
Eagle-eyed fans quickly honed in on the awkward length of the culottes, as well as the unmissable wrinkles on the fussy material.
'Not one of her finest choices. Look at all the wrinkles in that material!" one royal watcher wrote via the Daily Mail.
'Queen Mary, burn these pants. Lovely jacket, lovely belt, but please, please, please burn the pants,' added a second style commenter.
'Missed the mark this time. Outfit makes her look stocky and crinkled,' said a third.
'The outfit looks too messy and wrinkled, and that mousy grey isn't helping either,' another fashion fan said.
'This was indeed rare miss for Mary.'
Mary's bold look marked the second time she had worn the polarising culottes after previously debuting the pants during her recent state visit to France with King Frederik.
In Paris, Mary paired the grey two-piece look with Aquazzura over-the-knee stiletto boots, a high neck black top and a delightful brooch pinned to the jacket.
At the time, Vogue Scandinavia diplomatically called the culottes 'slightly edgier' than the popular royal's usual style.
