In a stunning silver grey dress dotted with sequinned daisies and teamed with spike-heeled studded stilettoes Crown Princess Mary walked the red carpet with her Crown Prince by her side in to the reception for the launch of a rather unique exhibition in the Western Foyer of Sydney Opera House tonight.
Outside crowds of locals and tourists gathered to catch a glimpse of our Aussie Princess and they weren’t disappointed.
“Danish Design at the House” celebrates a design tradition in conjunction with 25 high end Danish companies. This is all about the democracy of Danish design creating art that is practical and beautiful and supporting Danish business at the same time. It’s also something the Danish royals shine at!
The exhibition results are displayed in the six window casements of the Western foyer and the Crown Prince Couple took a tour of each display walking inside many of the exhibits as the party of invitees watched on, drinks in hand, from the forecourt outside.
Aussie Home Loans founder John Symond, who is also the chairman of the Sydney Opera House Trust, was one of the VIP guests and had his very elegant girlfriend Amber Keating on his arm. He was warmly greeted by the Crown Prince Couple.
NSW Governor Marie Bashir was also in attendance along with Jan and Lin Utzon, the children of Sydney Opera House architect Jorn Utzon, and a throng of Danish dignitaries.
Opera House CEO Louise Herron was in her element hosting the event and looked thrilled to see the fruit of her hard work with the Crown Prince Couple Patrons as her very special guests.
