I see she does not seem to wear glasses any longer, she must be using contact lenses.

I think that will change again, for some times you prefer glasses and then you like contact lenses again..

Though the princess looks lovely as always, the suit does nothing for her I am afraid.

Im not so sure I like the style of the jacket (the bottom flair out), but I love the fact that she is wearing jackets that are more tailored to her. And that is a very nice color for her.

She looks great in these pictures, with or without glasses! She is very attached to her ponytail, though.
