Princess Charlene's Fashion and Style Part 3: January 2012 - April 2012

[Artemisia]

It's elegant look, but I agree, way too casual and too dark, considering the event.

 

[KittyAtlanta]

Perhaps we should look at what Charlene is doing, rather than what she's wearing (sentiment taken from another thread).

 

[Artemisia]

That's what the current events thread is for. But in fashion threads, what royals are wearing is quite important too.

 

[Smush]

I don't get it, why too casual???
It's not a daycare for royals or millionaires and she's not visiting the opera.

I like her outfit very much. Not all in one colour and not too overdressed!
Something different from what we are used to see but something totally appropriate.

 

[Patra]

I liked the light colored balzer over the black, and the softness of the scarf. To me it was appropriate for Princess Charlene....

 

[sophie25]

It's formal enough for the engagement and I like it.

 

[udyusa]

I agree that it's a nice look. The only critique that I have is her hair-do seems too severe.

 

[Daria_S]

I think Charlene looks OK, but nothing special. It's a business-casual look, which works for this type of engagement.

 

[Baroness of Books]

I think this is a fine look for a daytime engagement, although the scarf seems too heavy and weighs the look down somewhat.

 

[NGalitzine]

I think Charlene looks OK, but nothing special. It's a business-casual look, which works for this type of engagement.

I agree, anything more would have been too much for this type of engagement (opening an empty day care centre)

 

[Meara]

Charlene looks very appropriate in the black and white ensemble. I love her smile in the one photo. She looks happy.

 

[Frelinghighness]

I think this is a fine look for a daytime engagement, although the scarf seems too heavy and weighs the look down somewhat.

My thoughts exactly. A little less scarf, or in a lighter color would have been nice.
This way, we can't really see the gorgeous looking cut of the blazer.

Prince Albert & Charlene open a daycare center today.

Too casual...

It's only a daycare center, so I believe she was dressed nicely. Besides these pieces seem to be quite expensive, especially the jacket.

I don't think Charlene looked casual at all during the daycare centre. That jacket is quite dressy. She kept it simple with all black.

I don't like the netting on the shoulders and the skirt, the rest of it's ok though.

Again, for me, what she's wearing is overshadowed by her general demeanour - uncomfortable and unhappy.

 

[Duke of Marmalade]

I love Charlene's dress including the netting on the shoulders. It doesnt emphasise them and is a nice addition. Not fond of the grey colour though, it washes her out.

 

[IloveCP]

I like the style of the dress but not the color.I would have prefered it in blue or red.

 

[Lumutqueen]

She looks beautiful.

 

[melina premiere]

I like her dress, the grey color seemed to be grey, all the women on the photos wear e grey dress on the photo.

 

[Smush]

Charlene looks great and it's a lovely dress but I don't like the color.

 

[dazzling]

I don't care for the dress as much as I care for the color that washes her out big time. Her make up doesn't help either.

 

[NoorMeansLight]

This isn't a good dress for her, the top part in particular didn't flatter her at all, IMO.

 

[Baroness of Books]

I dislike the sheer fabric that descends over her bodice, but not the part on her shoulders. It looks to be detachable. It's a lovely style gown, but the color isn't good at all for her, or she needs more makeup. In Iceflower's first photo, she looks absolutely pallid.

 

[dbarn67]

I like this pretty dress on Charlene. I wish the illusion fabric ended before the bottom of the dress. Also, the lines through her midsection make me want to straighten out the fabric to make them staight.

 

[bertie5252003]

It's all odd the colour is not great on her but the no makeup is what is the issue I think !! Why would you go bare face to a gala??? All very strange IMO

 

[Artemisia]

I actually absolutely love the dress on Charlene.
It's a bit understated (colour-wise) but very beautiful nevertheless.

I don't like this dress on her at all. Charlene thinks because it's a designer dress it will automatically look great on her and that's definitely not true. She's not wearing the dress, the dress is wearing her,

 

[Lumutqueen]

Charlene thinks because it's a designer dress it will automatically look great on her

And you know that how exactly?
