Danish Monarch Unveils Her Newest Costume Designs For Ballet

“Queen Margrethe unveiled the colorful costumes Wednesday for The Swineherd, a ballet based on a story by Danish fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen. She used stark colors – acid green, pink and purple – or large polka dots to give the costumes of the royal characters a cartoonesque touch. … It’s the fourth time Margrethe has designed costumes and sets for a stage adaptation of Andersen’s work.”
