That dress does wonders for Charlene's broad shoulders. She looks really nice.
 
Maybe Caroline and Stephanie came in red and white so as to coordinate with the red and white theme of the red cross?! In the photo where they are standing with Albert (post no. 60) they certainly seem to match the background. lol
 
Oh my God, I have not noticed the gloves before! He is so extravagant!

Who was the girl entering next to Pierre? Charlotte? His cousin? A girlfriend?

She is Melanie de Massy the grandaughter of Antoinette Grimaldi (Ranieri's sister) so she's Pierre's second cousin.

Ah, thank you. Yes, Melanie was the name, I forgot. :)
 
Oh Caroline, I can't even stand to look at the pics! As we say in Spanish, "Ese vestido no esta en NADA!" Those feathers... it only leads me to believe that she and Ernst had a pillow fight before leaving for the Ball....AS IF!

There are new small pict of the event at http://newscom.com but I can't post them in a bigger version.
Can someone do that?
 
Oooh, loved Stephanie and Charlene's dresses. Stephanie looked amazing in red. I thought Caroline looked good as well, until I saw the dress. Had it not had the ruffly "cape", it might have been better.
 
Interesting: If you go to www.polfoto.dk and type in "Monaco", many pics of the ball occur. One is a caption correction concerning Charlene´s status, they changed "Prince Albert´s girlfriend Charlene Wittstock" into "Charlene Wittstock, a guest of Prince Albert".
If that correction comes from an official in Monaco, it does not sound like an engagement for me ...
 
Lovely pics thislast 2, especial teh second with the 2 sister. thanks!

It's really kind of funny that they changed it :)

Two more close ups of Charlene:

It is a nice picture, but her arms look soooo stiff like she's got them pasted to her side. Her shoulders are huge for a woman, imo.

Caro and Stephanie look wonderful!!! I really like seeing them.



although I must say, I'm not a big fan of caro's dress

I know I'm the minority but I like Caroline's dress. She can make any Chanel dress look good.
 
I don't think Charlene looks particularly great in dresses, she has that swimmer's build. BROAD shoulders that make her body narrow as you go down from head to toe. She's okay I guess...ugh.

I like the picture of Caroline that iceflower posted, mainly because it's a head shot..NO FEATHERS IN SIGHT. But also, you can see her stunning eyes quite clearly. Thanks ice, you never fail when it comes to good pics.

Caroline's dress did not flatter her at all.
