She's the royal belle of the ball!

Crown Princess Mary of Denmark looked stunning as she took to the dance floor with her husband Prince Frederik to sway along to Stevie Wonder's Isn't She Lovely.

An evening of dinner and dancing was on the cards for the royals, who are on a state visit to the US.

On Wednesday night Mary and Frederik donned their finest for the gala at the Smithsonian Arts and Industries Building in Washington.

Mary lit up the room in a strapless patterned number, which showed off her incredible figure. The mother-of-four completed her evening look with diamond drop earrings and had her hair twisted into an elegant up-do.

Frederik made her dapper dance partner in a navy tuxedo and bow tie.

The Danish royal palace posted a video of the couple dancing, arm-in-arm with Frederik taking the lead. After a few steps they were joined by their fellow party guests.
