When Princess Mary Chose This Dress, She Knew You'd Be Staring at the Sleeves

The royals have mastered the art of modest dressing when it comes to special occasions. For a two-day visit to Boston, Princess Mary of Denmark chose a versatile cream coat dress that belted at the waist and dipped below her knees. The choice was most appropriate for a meeting with Boston's governor, and Princess Mary kept the look polished with a few simple details.

She wore an eye-catching pair of Christian Louboutin snake-print pumps, and the dress itself had special detailing. Zoom in on her sleeves, and you'll notice it's buttoned up to reveal her Cartier Love bracelet. While she could have gone with any ordinary coat dress, the sleeves on her ensemble took it to the next level. Read on for a closer look at her outfit, and then shop similar picks.
