19 photos show how Queen Mary of Denmark's style has evolved through the years

  • Queen Mary of Denmark has undergone a style transformation since becoming a royal in 2004.
  • Mary told the Financial Times she previously wore T-shirts and shorts and sometimes went barefoot.

The newly-crowned Queen Mary of Denmark has been a public figure since she married Prince Frederik in 2004.

It's typical for Mary to wear formal attire, such as the white belted gown and sash she wore to her husband's accession to the throne as King Frederik X on Sunday. But she didn't always dress this way.

The queen consort was born Mary Donaldson in Tasmania, Australia, and was working as a real-estate agent when she met Frederick at a pub in Sydney in 2000, according to the couple's 2003 interview on "60 Minutes Australia."

"Very early on, it was clear that there were expectations about what you wore and how you dressed appropriately to an event," the then-princess told the Financial Times in 2022.

"That was pretty daunting for me. I was a T-shirt-and-shorts girl, known to go barefoot," she added.

These photos show how Mary's style has evolved since joining the Danish royal family.
