Princess Mary flies flag for Aussie fashion

Princess Mary flies flag for Aussie fashion

She might speak with a Danish accent, but Crown Princess Mary showed she’s still Australian at heart on the weekend, donning a gown by Aussie designer Collette Dinnigan.

Mary attended the royal wedding of Sweden’s Princess Madeleine to US banker Christopher O’Neill in Stockholm.

It was an event attended by the cream of European royalty and Manhattan socialites — the bride and groom live in New York City — and called for a seriously stunning frock.

Collette rose to the occasion, dressing Mary in a spectacular cerise lace full-length dress with matching chiffon cape to preserve the princess’ modesty in the cathedral.

It’s a huge coup for the Australian label as Mary usually wears Danish designers in line with her position as an ambassador for Danish fashion.
