Queen Mary made her usual fashionable appearance on her trip to Brazil at the beginning of October. However, in one outfit – a brown polka dot dress – she reminded many Instagram fans of a classic movie from the nineties. Do you see the resemblance, too?

Queen Mary of Denmark visited Brazil last week. The trip, which began on October 2, 2024, was intended to “underline the desire for further increased cooperation and deepening of Danish-Brazilian relations,” as the royal Instagram account announced, and was accordingly packed with appointments. What sounds like stress, the 52-year-old queen doesn’t let show. In a good mood and, above all, dressed fashionably as always, she beams for the cameras. A dress worn by Queen Mary not only looks particularly good on her, it also reminds us of a very famous Hollywood star!

On the evening of October 4, the Royal was invited to the Danish Embassy in Brazil. There, she met the Danish ambassador, Eva Bisgaard, for dinner and also got to know the embassy staff. Queen Mary opted for a rather casual yet elegant dress for the occasion. The ankle-length satin dress with a halterneck shone in light brown and featured cream-colored polka dots.

Queen Mary’s dress is reminiscent of this film character

But not only did the brown shade of the dress perfectly match Queen Mary’s hair, the dress was also reminiscent of a well-known Hollywood film. Do you know which one? We’re talking about Pretty Woman! Vivian Ward, played by Julia Roberts, accompanies Richard Gere’s character to a polo match and combines the brown dress with white polka dots with a beige straw hat with matching fabric band and light-colored pumps.

Queen Mary, on the other hand, gives the dress a contemporary update with fashionable accessories. The Danish queen wears gold jewelry and a belt with amber-colored stones. Her high heels with an embellished bridge also shine in metallic gold. The finishing touch is a sparkling clutch.

Her fans also love the look

The royal family’s Instagram fans are also delighted with the Pretty Woman look and immediately spotted the resemblance. One user wrote: “So beautiful, our dear Queen Mary. But am I the only one who thinks of Pretty Woman when I see this dress?” Over 20 people agree with her via Like. Another wrote: “Her Majesty is very pretty; the brown polka dot dress is wonderful and looks spectacular on her. Reminds me of Julia Roberts from the movie Pretty Woman.

Whether the Royal is such a fan of the classic 1990 film remains to be seen. We also don’t know whether Queen Mary sees the reference to Julia Roberts’ dress herself. Nevertheless, it is a nice highlight and – as usual for Mary – a fashionably thought-out and perfectly styled outfit.
