‘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.

Gen X icon Ione Skye on why she's more Liz Taylor than Jennifer Aniston
This story is part of the June 28 edition of Good Weekend. See all 21 stories. Each week, Benjamin Law asks public figures to discuss the subjects we're told to keep private by getting them to roll a die. The numbers they land on are the topics they're given. This week he talks to Ione Skye. The British-born American actor, director, painter, writer and podcaster, 54, is a Gen X film icon best known for her role in Cameron Crowe's Say Anything. Her memoir is Say Everything. BODIES You started acting at a young age. How much of the attention on your looks was flattering and how much was annoying? I was very photogenic, which was helpful, but there was so much worry about weight. One time, I did a job in Rome and in Tunisia and was told, 'Lose 10 pounds in Italy.' Are you kidding me? But I did, then gained it back in two days. I didn't get to eat any amazing Italian food the whole time. None of this sounds healthy or joyous. I was never – for better or worse – strict enough. I did a movie with Jennifer Aniston before she did Friends. She'd eat a bagel and cut out the inside. That's someone who's very ordered. I'm more Elizabeth Taylor-messy, I think, which is kind of fun. Do you have tattoos? [ Counts ] I have one … two … how many tattoos? … Three? Technically, four. What are they and where are they? My first one was done by hand by the same guy who did my mum's tattoo: your classic moon and star that a young person gets. Then I did a swan on my hip with my ex-sister-in-law. This other tattoo is meant to say 'NOW' but it just looks like a blob. Then I had the name 'Adam' for my ex-husband [Adam Horovitz of the Beastie Boys], but I changed that to 'Madam'. MONEY Your father is the Scottish musician Donovan, your mother is model Enid Karl. As a result, you've been described as 'the OG nepo baby'. Is that fair? When I say I didn't get one cent from my parents, it's kind of true. I mean, my father paid child support, but my mum didn't make a lot of money. So it gave me a lot of confidence and pride when I started making my own. My father didn't really open any doors, but there were creative people around me, via my mother. So I saw examples of people in the industry, which was helpful. And having my father's name was intriguing to someone like [director] Cameron Crowe who was really into music; he cast me in Say Anything.

The 11 new ‘Aussie words' you will now find in the Oxford Dictionary
Australians rejoice! The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) has included 11 new words that are quintessentially Australian in its latest update. Unsurprisingly, the new words have a lot to do with booze and footy. Oxford types have caught up with Aussie teenagers, with the inclusion of the word 'goon'. Most Aussies will certainly understand taking a swig out of a goon bag, which is officially listed as 'a plastic, foil-lined pouch in which inexpensive wine is sold'. Tigers star Dustin Martin pulling out a 'don't argue', which is one of the Aussie terms added to the Oxford Dictionary this year. Credit: Quinn Rooney / Getty Images Oxford elites might need a little longer to catch up on the game 'goon of fortune', played by countless cohorts of Aussies during their adolescence. Next is 'cask', which describes the box around the goon bag. While 'slab' refers to a case of beer, which is now officially known as 'retail pack of beer, typically containing 24 cans or bottles'. Moving on, the word 'spew' now has new reverence. Most Aussies know someone 'spewin' over something, most recently the insane cost-of-living in this country. Officially, spew refers to when 'someone is bitterly disappointed or very annoyed about something. An Australian who says they are 'absolutely spewing' means they are devastated or angry.' The Australian love of sport is also a big one for Oxford types in 2025. The word 'carn' has officially gained its place in the dictionary. Officially, the word 'carn' means the 'colloquial pronunciation of 'come on!'. Our beloved AFL got 'best and fairest' in the dictionary in 2025. The term 'best and fairest' is, officially, 'an Australian rules football or rugby league player who wins any of various awards given for a combination of exceptional performance and good sportsmanship'. The sport has also given us the 'don't argue' this year, with it widely used in other contact sports. Officially, it is 'a colloquial term for a push or blow to the face ... delivered to fend off a potential tackler, using the arm held out straight from the body'. Aboriginal English also got two new additions in the Oxford dictionary. 'Balanda' which is a word dating back to the 1800s, used to refer to a white person or white people. Most believe the word Makasarese is a derivative of the Dutch word 'Hollander' or possibly the Malay word 'belanda', meaning Dutch or European. The Makassarese language is spoken in the South Sulawesi province in Indonesia. Officially: 'Balanda is a loan word from the Yolngu language of northeast Arnhem Land, which itself was borrowed from the Makasarese language of South Sulawesi province in Indonesia, or from a similar form in a related language.' While 'custodian' now has an Indigenous layer to its meaning. Officially: 'a term used for an Australian Aboriginal person who is recognised as having certain ancestral rights to, and traditional obligations, responsibilities and authority for a particular area of land and community.' Other entries include 'gunzel', which is Australian slang for: 'a person who loves trams or trains.' Lastly, 'regional', which shouldn't be a massive surprise to anyone, means 'away from major cities'.
