    Manolo Blahnik's crystal-trimmed Hangisi pumps became burned into the popular imagination when Carrie Bradshaw wore them on her wedding day to Mr. Big in the first Sex and the City movie, sending scores of fans to buy their own pair. But millennial brides aren't the only ones who can't get enough of the iconic shoe, as Queen Mary of Denmark proved on Wednesday, February 25.

    The Danish queen has served as patron of the Danish Psychiatric Foundation for two decades, and she celebrated the organization's 30th anniversary in a navy outfit with pops of sunny yellow. Wearing a navy Red Valentino dress with a pleated skirt and jewel-trimmed collar, Mary viewed an exhibit titled "Elephant in Space," which featured painted elephant sculptures by 30 Danish artists.

    The Psychiatric Foundation's event was centered on "talking about the elephant in the room," and Queen Mary coordinated with the colorful sculptures' bold hues with her yellow heels.

    Manolo Blahnik's Hangisi pumps feature a 4-inch heel and a crystal buckle detail at the toe, and Mary matched her shoes to her bright yellow YSL clutch.

    Queen Mary isn't the only royal to have worn Carrie Bradshaw's famous wedding shoes in a different color. Princess Kate loved the classic pumps so much that she chose to be immortalized in them, with the royal wearing the green Hangisi shoe in a 2022 portrait of the then-Duke and Duchess of Cambridge painted by British artist Jamie Coreth.

    Unfortunately, the Princess of Wales has never actually worn the shoes IRL, but there's always hope.
