Charlene Wittstock, Princess of Monaco

No problem Persephone, keep up the good work!

Wow she didn't wear Armani for once?! That must be a big step for her The dress still looks great on her and I'm glad she is branching out. Although, I would like to see her in another color soon. All this black is getting old.

From a few weeks ago, Prince Albert and Charlene Wittstock attending the St. Devote mass and celebrations. I noticed that her outift was simple and her head scarf was not as ostentatious as the hat she wore to the Fête Nationale. Photo credit: PurePeople, Getty Images, TRF, Daylife

I really like this outfit, all of it actually. The coat is modern and classic and she picked out simple jewelry. Maybe she finally got someone to look after her that knows what they're doing.

Charlene has been in South Africa this week prepping for the Midmar Mile Race and she has been hard at work raising money for the Special Olympics.

Earlier this morning she hosted a charity breakfast at the St. John's Diocesan School. She wore skinny jeans, a blue tunicesque top with lace accents, an usual necklace (which I actually like), and brown sandals.

Later on that same day, she attended the opening of the Nelson Mandela Intimate Moments Exhibition wearing a black jumpsuit with gold embroidered belt (that was attached), black sandals, and her hair slicked back in a bun. From the waist up I like the look, but the bottom part... not so much.

I don't like either outfit, although it's nice to see her dress like a regular person...it just doesn't come together for me.

Neither outfit works well. The jeans and turquoise top with a fancy necklace look mismatched. The top half does not go with the jeans and sandals. She prefers strapless outfits; the black harem pants jumpsuit accentuates her broad shoulders. She looks relaxed and happy though.

She is wearing a one-sleve top, but her amrs are positioned so that her broad shoulders are not the
most obvious part of her in the picture. She looks nice here.

Her looks in South Africa remind me of Charlize Theron.

 

[Ashcottmanor]

Love the Royals cover but hate the dress inside, it looks cheap.

Charlene seems to favor sleeveless tops and strapless dresses most of the time. I don't think that this type of design flatters her figure at all. Maybe when she is a princess this will change. I hope so.

^ I don't know why she does that...swimmers have such muscular shoulders- why would you wear things that make you look more muscular instead of deemphasizing it?

 

[Ashcottmanor]

I don't know, maybe she thinks they're her best feature? I personally think he has wonderful, long legs. She should definitely play those up more.

Charlene is in Gstaad, Switzerland having fun with her fiance, Prince Albert and her friends.

I really like those sun glasses on her. It looks like they're all having fun, good for them.

Omg I thought the first picture was a wax figure! Her feet are unusually larger there too...maybe it's just a weird angle.
