Queen Mary of Denmark suffered an embarrassing yet rare style blunder on Wednesday when she stepped out for an event in Copenhagen.
The Australian-born queen smiled as she arrived at Nordatlantens Beygge in the nation's capital - though unknowingly had pink lipstick smeared across her five front teeth.
While she looked smart, the marks on her teeth were clearly visible in photos and nobody appeared to give the royal a heads up ahead of time.
It's unknown how long the lipstick remained on Mary's teeth, whether anyone eventually pointed it out to her or if she noticed herself.
The 52-year-old opted for a chic business casual outfit wearing high waisted black pants, cream blouse and a black coat with a pair of patent pointed heel pumps and a small black clutch bag.
The mother-of-four attended the event with her husband King Frederik, 56, which was held by Iceland's Presidential Couple, who are currently on a two-day state visit to the country.
President Halla Tómasdóttir's trip to Denmark marks Frederik's first incoming state visit since he ascended the throne in January this year, following his mother Queen Margrethe II's historic abdication.
The latest blunder is the latest in a year of unfortunate events for Queen Mary, following a series of awkward incidences in public.

In August Mary concealed her face days after a horse riding accident left her with painful scrapes along her jawline.
She matched her Band-Aid to her skin tone carefully - but its rough texture was hard to miss as she arrived at the funeral of former court chief Per Thornit in Copenhagen.
The large bandage covered a graze which palace insiders claim she got while riding.
But that wasn't all.
In July Mary was left visibly shaken after a motorised scooter ploughed through a crowd and knocked her to the ground during her royal visit to Greenland.
She was greeting fans in the country's capital Nuuk when she was hit by a scooter ridden by an elderly man.
Mary's youngest children, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, were just metres away when the monarch was knocked to the ground, horrifying onlookers.

Mary first wore the hat the day before her wedding in 2004 when a sudden breeze blew the hat off her head. She laughed as a security guard handed it back to her
And on June 5 at the 175th anniversary of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Denmark on June 5, the Aussie-born royal looked elegant in a wide-brimmed hat which would have triggered some amusing memories.
Mary has worn the coral-coloured hat twice since 2004 and both times struggled to keep it on her head when faced with an unexpected breeze.
This time, however, the 52-year-old managed to keep the bold accessory secure but looked quite uncomfortable the entire time.
The Queen first wore the hat designed by milliner Susanne Juul at a reception the day before she married Frederik.
Mary took the blunder in good humour and laughed as a security guard handed it back to her.
The mum-of-four wore the hat again in 2006 during a visit to the Danish island of Bornholm.
