Crown Princess Mary stepped out in Copenhagen on Friday to present prizes at a University competition - and she proved a winner in the fashion stakes herself.

Rarely one to put a sartorial step wrong, Mary arrived looking as elegant and fashion-forward as ever, choosing on this occasion to forgo her usual chic dress for a striking suit.

The Australian-born royal looked chic in her slim-fitting white ensemble consisting of stark white trousers, a white camisole and cream blazer with a satin neckline.

She wore large diamond studs and a black and diamond pendant on a gold chain.

Mary, 43, wore her recently shortened hair in a sleek blow-dry.

The Crown Princess was at Industriens hus to present the winning prize to Standford University students Caleb Kumar, 19, Aslan Maleki, 22, and Teun de Planque, 22.

The trio's winning idea, VesaliusMed, is a new method of diagnosing bladder cancer by testing urine for abnormal cells rather than blood - a more accurate, faster, and also cheaper method if diagnosing the disease.

The University World Cup brings together students from all over the world to compete for the best start-up ideas.

The Danish royal was presented with a bouquet of flowers upon arrival at the venue, before taking to the stage to present the VesaliusMed inventors with their trophy.

While Mary played the princess role perfectly at the prize-giving ceremony, it was an entirely different story later that same day, when she ditched her heels for army boots.

Following the Crown Princess' joining of voluntary military organisation the Home Guard in 2008, she now boasts the title of first lieutenant after being promoted on the day.
