In September 2000, Mary Donaldson was an average looking chubbette with floppy arms, a light tan, and a wardrobe that was 80% ugly and 80% lycra. No, I’m not crazy, because lots of her clothes were BOTH ugly and lycra.
After she met Frederik and realized that she could never compete with other royal wives like the Supreme Goddess of Fashion and Social Causes Rania of Jordan, or Miss Congeniality and Micro Finance Maxima of the Netherlands, or Reformed Junkie and AIDS Awareness Angel Mette-Marit of Norway, Mary decided that the only thing she could change was her body.
Since being announced in the Danish press as the “big boned” Australian girlfriend of Prince Frederik, Mary began a transformation that not only included weight, but also color. She was lucky to find a fame whore cosmetics dude from Denmark who was as happy to get some free publicity from his association with her as she was desperate to erase her past, and that included erasing some of her melanin.
True, Mary had an addiction to bronzer and her relationship with overdone makeup continues to this day, but the color she used to have wasn’t all bronzer, ok?
Like any textbook case of true insecurity, Mary doesn’t know where to stop. This includes her weight, her clothes, and her face. She not only dropped about 30-40 lbs. between her first appearance in the media and the wedding, but she has made it her mission to quickly drop weight after she has her children. Clotheswise, she is often a mess, overdoing it with Cartier watches, bangles, cheap jewelry alongside diamonds, and her latest addiction, belts.
Her face has gone from lightly tanned to powder white, and is often covered with an inch and a half of makeup. Black eyeliner is Mary's choice to take to a deserted island, would be my guess, and she is often caked on and spackled on for simple daytime events that require a lighter hand.
More on Mary's "style" on the next post.
