The memorial gala took place at Fredensborg Palace Church to mark one year since the passing of Queen Margrethe's husband who had been married to the Danish monarch since 1967.
Australian-born Mary looked incredible in a navy knee length gown covered with floral pattern and a matching satin evening jacket pinned with a delicate brooch.
The mother-of-four paired her elegant ensemble with pointed court heels embossed with tiny studs.
She carried a small burgundy cutch and finished the look with a pair of dainty drop earrings.
The 47-year-old royal was coiffed to perfection and showed off her flawless complexion with a full coverage makeup look.
Crown Prince Frederik looked dapper in a navy suit and grey-blue tie.
