We're Crowning Princess Mary One of the Best Dressed Royals

If you thought Kate Middleton had quite a stylish wardrobe, perhaps you haven't been following the outfit choices of another fashion-forward royal: Princess Mary of Denmark. The polished dresser has been known to test the boundaries of the royal dress code, and we love seeing the risks she takes. After meeting and becoming engaged to her husband, Prince Frederik, in 2003, the Australia native underwent a drastic style transformation that took her from baggy jeans and crop tops to gowns from the top designers in the world, courtesy of her personal stylist Anja Camilla Alajdi.

We went back into the archives and found plenty of Mary's chicest looks, which, truth be told, may be a bit more daring than those seen on Kate. Read on to see some of her best style moments ahead.
