The wedding uniform

They've been compared many times before but now it seems there is another reason to hold Crown Princess Mary of Denmark and Queen Letizia of Spain up against one another.  For when the future queen went to a wedding at the weekend, she was wearing something very similar to a famous marriage choice made by Europe's newest queen.  Mary's pinky peachy dress with pleats and adornments could easily have passed for Letizia's frock at the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton back in 2011.

Letizia's outfit was paired with a cloche hat and shoes in the same colour.  Mary opted for a paler, smaller feather headdress and white coat with her pink outfit.  But other than that, the dresses looked exactly the same.

The two women have been compared almost continuously since their engagements were announced within days of one another in 2003. But while their styles and their lives have diverged in recent times it seems that they can still do things the same way every now and again. When it comes to wedding outfits, Mary and Letizia have a uniform approach.
