Queen Mary is a human Barbie in hot pink dress straight out of Royal Ascot 2025

Queen Mary of Denmark is best known as one of the most fashion-forward European royal ladies, never afraid to experiment with her style.

However, the wife of King Frederik sometimes keeps things simpler, going for a classically elegant outfit – this time around, she opted for the exact same dress that one British royal lady wore to Royal Ascot this year.

Attending the opening of the 'Kongebarn', translated as 'royal child' exhibition, at Koldinghus on Friday, Queen Mary looked absolutely incredible in a pink two-tone midi dress from ME+EM.

The dress features a blend of opaque and sheer finishes to add a bit of texture to the look, as well as long, scalloped sleeves, pouffed shoulders and subtle pockets, for a feminine flair.

To accessorise, the mother-of-four wore her highest heels of the year so far: a pair of beige leather pumps from Valentino, and rounded off her ensemble with a pair of gorgeous pearl earrings.

On Wednesday, Carole Middleton, the mother of the Princess of Wales, made an appearance at Royal Ascot 2025, following the news that her daughter would no longer be attending, as she continues to try and find the right balance with her royal duties amid her battle with cancer.

Carole stunned in butter yellow, the trendiest colour of the year, which has seen an 82% rise in search since the beginning of the year.

Following the likes of her daughter and Princess Eugenie, the mother-of-three was absolutely dazzling in the hottest colour of summer 2025.
