Hi Zonk,

I'm 26 years old, so, I'm on her age group... I do not think that Charlene is trendy.... As I already say, she is a very nice girl (except for wrinkles!!).

I'm very young but due to some personal reasons (I'm the "official companion" of a soccer player, and I'm working as event manager and assistant of a politician) I changed my style.

I do not have the body of Charlene (I'm only 1.64 mt), but in the past I had some weight problems (I was a little bit chubby!!) and I learned to choose my dresses...in order to look better!

I feel good with my self when I wear my jeans and my t shirt... But I cannot do it everyday...
You can be trendy also on jeans and T shirt... ( 3 years ago I met on Miami J-LO, and she was wearing a pair of jeans, and a withe oriental embroidered t shirt..a fendi big bag and a pair of withe flip flop... she was very very trendy)

There are some moments when you Know people will pay attention to you, and expecially if you take part to officials events...
When you became the wife, or the companion of a person that is always in the eye of the camera, and you chose to appear next to him, you must know that the first thing people will do is look to your style ( from head to shoes...).

I chosed these pics because I would like to show, that is not too difficult be elegant and classy, the keyword should be semplicity....

I agree with you when you say that nobody can survive to the pressure to be compared to jacki'o , caroline, and Grace... The secrets is study these women and take examples....

Sometimes Charlene remember me a scene from Bridget Jones film.. the one when she goes to family formal event...dressed as a Bunny...:wub: (Palyboy Bunny) ( the problem is that Bridget didn't know that was a formal event...but Charlene knows it!!!):ROFLMAO:

What people will think if one day I will take part to a show seated next to the major of My city...with the same dress Charlene wears at Amber Fashion Show? :ohmy:

You are right, probably she is working on her style.. but no, for me she is not trendy. She is cheap. ( the dress of amber show, the green dress on the balcony GP last year, the dress on the beach of some days ago...:ohmy: )

My grandmother always says that your dress must show respect to the people you will meet.

M.

Bravo Michelle! You know how to act and dress and you have a wise Grandmother too!!

Charlene Wittstock has neither style nor fashion and she is not royal so I don't see the point of discussing her looks here.


Would you rather talk about Jodie Marsh? :alien:


So, Charlene hasn't found her sense of style yet. Nor has she found a good stylist, but at least she's trying to find her footing when it comes to fashion. At least she isn't wearing http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/this little number to an event.


If she did, then I could understand some of the complaints here.:rolleyes:

Bork is a performance artist who thrives on things like this outfit. Charlene is not a performance artist. I don't what she is these days to tell you the truth.
 
That's not an excuse. A bad little get-up is still a bad little get-up.:alien:

Bork or Charlene? The Bork dress gave many a comedian a lot of material for jokes by the way. Saturday night Live even did a spoof of it. Bork thrives on the attention and uses fashion as an expression of her performace art. That dress worn at the oscars (I think that's where she wore it) created a media frenzy. She got what she wanted besically.
 
Well if Charlene is a former Olympic swimmer she definitely has to have wide shoulders and a strong muscular upper body. Also if she's a former Olympic swimmer, she probably had other priorities while training for the Olympics than keeping her shoulders a nice slim feminine size so she'd be more attractive in an evening dress.

Not every woman is that interested in fashion. It doesn't necessarily mean they don't get it; it may mean that they don't care. Princess Anne of Great Britain comes to mind.
 
hi lillia
i would wear a white eyelet halter sun dress with an aline skirt which would end around my midcalf. white looks very good against my skin. my shoes would be a natural cork color with an ankle tie of fabric-fabic tie would be a natural color. my heels would be about 2in tall. i would wear a blue torquoise bracelet and matching earrings. and a natural & white color wide brim hat. made of straw, of course.
and my hair would be in a simple knot and stright hair bangs.
i would carry a hand bag with a strap that would hang on my wrist.
the bag would be funkie but not over the top.
and yes i have great taste and i would look good & u know that, lol

:) sounds lovely, semi.

Do you think :queen:CW could carry it off?

whoops! oh my --- you said the dress would be a halter top...

I have to revise that a little bit.

ok: here's a suggestion that may work with her shoulders (but I don't know, a think a professional stylist would give better advice than me on that):flowers:

Betsey Johnson Ruffled Sleeveless Dress*-* Daytime*-* Neiman Marcus

or these might work too (maybe)

Laundry by Shelli Segal Printed Jersey Dress*-* Shop By Silhouette*-* Neiman Marcus
Chetta B Tunic Dress*-* Shop By Silhouette*-* Neiman Marcus


these might work:
MICHAEL KORS Cashmere Scarf & Dress*-* Michael Kors
MICHAEL Michael Kors Safari Dress*-* Michael Kors
MICHAEL Michael Kors Shirtdress*-* Michael Kors

maybe Bill Blass from the 2007 collection would be good. what do you think?

thx lillia
i like all of the dress you pick but i dont think they would look good on charlene. because of her muscluar build plus the dresses seem better on someone who is young not someone going into their thirties.
but that just my opinion
 
that's a very good point.

What would look good on a woman with a strong muscular build and not much shape like Charlene who is going into her 30s?

Maybe, Mrs Charlene is reading this board... look to this photo...

http://i8.tinypic.com/627u7ol.jpg

is she trying to copy the style we suggest her???

Try Again Mrs Charlene...you will be more lucky!!!!

maybe ladymichelle :lol: :ROFLMAO: !

Simple white dress, basic a-line skirt almost mid-calf. Simple jacket. alright. Not bad and seems to be staying in the budget.

I think she need to buy a slip, but maybe that's just me. (it's that hot in MC?)

Those sandals have to go imo.

Any suggestions for shoes? she seem only know stilettos or sandals and nothing in between -- its those high heels that tie at the ankle and all that darn disco glitter at her feet were too much, imo.

Maybe a few suggestion on her hair? :doh: She seems to be totally into the 'wash-n-go' or 'just-got-out-of-bed/pool' look.

Oh I forgot -- that horrible tacky red nail polish:bangin: - somebody needs to throw that dimestore bottle of nail enamel into the garbage!

JMO. :flowers:

Well the outfit is better but she needs a good tailor as the fit is not good. Ok LadyMichele you are young suggest some shoes for this poor woman because the sandels are ridiculous with this outfit. I think she is required to wear flat shoes as she would tower over Albert in anything more than an 1".
 
Well according to this article of advice for women with broad shoulders, Charlene's latest fashions follow the fashion tips exactly.

Nothing to fancy or fussy around the shoulders, very minimal, very bare. I've seen a lot of pictures of Charlene with this type of outfit.

Flattering Dresses for Every Body Type
 
well, charlene tried but it didnt work because
1. jacket doesn't fit
2. color-white is not her color-no matter how many times she wears it(just a secret i can wear all white because as a black women-white looks great aganist my skin-its the same with any type of tan or brown skin but if u r a red head with pale skin the last thing u need is to wear something white )
3. shoes-where is she going.....to the beach.
4. hair-very sloppy
she just doesnt have any type of fashion sense-im telling u her special friend should dress her. special friend i mean is prince albert
its so sad because other cp have such a nice sense of fashion before they married but charlene is just lost in a maze of white clothes and sandles

just a question-are there shoulder pads in her jacket?
and if charlene is reading this"please for pity sake wear a black slip if u r wearing a white skirt or dress"

Jacket too short& ill fitting for a lady of her height who does not need to be elongated anymore.Sandals inappropriate for the suit& event unless followed by "Muscle Beach Party" attire.Skirt length too short by two & a half inches.Again no stockings?

No Miss Wittsock like the ladies of the televison serial "Dynasty " was born with them.

I think Pa should not dress her or buy her a pacifier. I think Miss Wittstock has managed to come this far& even evince the pity of many to prompt pa being obligated to dress her when there is nothing official announced.As far as I remember white was reserved for very tropical climates and worn occasionally.It is a colour of mourning in the East.
Top to bottom another unstudied fiasco.

The jacket should be longer so as not to make Miss Wittsock look taller and take emphasis away from the upper part of her anatomy to bring all into balance and symmetry.The white on her lovely blonde looks make her look "washed out" one dimensional and colourless.It should be a different shade of white which she should study in swatches as I thought I saw a bright flashlight first when seeing the pics and not the lady herself.

jaya - you are too funny!:lol:

ok, so albert should not involve himself in her fashion choice (he hasn't so far). and yes, the outfit is really basic and the color is really bright white. ok. fine. and yes those sandals simply must go. For some reason (not sure why) she always looks like she jumped right into her clothes.

but the white dress and jacket is better than that other outfit she wore to the grand prix last year and at least :princess: CW is not smoking a cigarette this time, right?

I think what look good is Miss Wittsock stopping to study the variables and stop accosting my aesthetic sensibilities in this juvenile manner of failed attempt after failed attempt.It would look good if she tried harder and I know Miss Wittsock is quite capable of mastery when she applies herself.

No I am correcting reproving.& subject to your interpretation.
Smoking I did not know she smoked at all I was unaware. I come from a culture where we consider it pornography of the mouth and I do not mean this for Miss Wittsock at all but for all mankind .
"At least" you say reducing this to the lowest common denominator.
"At most" I say Miss Wittsock study, and do better . You have it within you please.

again - that is a very good point. she certainly could do alot better with her wardrobe, if she wished:lol:

CW clearly would know how to focus on things that she wants to do (like move across the world to MC, run around subsidized with Albert, take pictures and so on). :photo:

I agree, CW could put a whole lot more effort in her appearance (clothes, hair) but maybe her seemed 'devil may care' manner is part of what she is trying to do to keep PA attention - keep everything about herself as basic and as simple as possible and un-polished (some would say crude). I don't think she is all that pretty either - there are many others much prettier than her (I did not say CW is ugly).

Maybe if she puts out too much effort on anything rather than act like naive or like she couldn't be bothered with much of anything except sports Albert might become uninterested.

There are lots of different shades of white...and very few people can wear pure white. Silk or diamond white (just off white) is the most popular color for wedding gowns. A very fair-skinned friend of mine wore 'oyster' (more on a beige) for her wedding and looked fine...it photographed well. Mine (the wedding never happened though) was called 'candlelight' which was a soft ivory... It's just a matter of finding what works for her and then using that knowledge. Remember, Diana wasn't born a fashion icon: no slips, frumpy "Sloane Ranger" clothes...it wasn't until the late 80's/early 90's that she found her own style.

I think she is required to wear flat shoes as she would tower over Albert in anything more than an 1".

Hmmm shoes are my favourite matter... but I think that the style I like is similar to the style of CP letizia... very High Heels and famous designer.. ( in this moment I'm Crazy for Pedro Garcia...I'm only 1mt and 64 cm...so i can wear it..)

Yes, that pair of flat shoes is very ridiculous... As per dresses there are kind of shoes that you cannot wear if you attend official function or event.. Is not my opinion but is a dress code bon ton. That pair of sandals can be weared with jeans, or with dresses ...ex out for shopping, on the beach, or walking in the streets..

It's the season of flat shoes, so she has got a lot of opportunity...but I think that she should wear a 1-2 "" of heels, because if she wears a pair fo flat shoes, her foots can look too long...

IMO, The withe color is out. i mean that if you wear a with jacket, you should wear a black skirt , or a withe skirt with black jacket.. The total withe look is out, because she is not going to the altar..and also because the ensable she is wearing is to "heavy", I do not know how to explain it , but it looks "too much" withe dress, withe jacket, with purse...

Also, the total withe look is a look for daytime (ex. CP Letizia on her engagement day.. Tha Armany was great!!!!) and I think that withe is not a good color for Charlene... As Jaya already says, she looks "washed out"...


:bang:
 
I don't think she looked horrible, but I also think she needs to make some major adjustments.

1) The sandals need to GO! She could have worn some cute strappy heels. Not too high so as not to tower over Albert.

2) The "white-on-white" suit. Wedding, anyone? She could have chosen to wear different shades of white together instead of the same blindingly-bright-white all over. Or, thrown in some pastels, or even do a à-la-Mary, use some nuetral tones. Beige, light tan, cream color, bone color. Also, use some other fabric to break up the mono-tone look.

3) The hair. Charlene, dear, what is wrong with wearing a head-band? Or your hair half pulled back? Or in a pony-tail? Or in a chignon?

4) Fine, if she wanted to wear the entire white suit,ok. But add some colored accesories. Bright colored necklace, bracelets, earrings...whatever. Even the bag could have been another color.

Alright, those are my opinions.:flowers:

yes, I agree with all of that -- CW :princess3: could have mixed it up a little bit with her accessories. Choosing textures and shades of color requires something a little more than just basic knowing how to match a few colors -- Charlene doesn't have it, imo.


And really CW is just a basic chick, right? Bracelets and scarves and the other dangle dangle would just trip her up and keep her from jumping as high as she can as fast as she can when Albert snaps his finger:king3:

Keeping things basic is different from retaining the essentiality which Pa deserves as Head of State;Simplicity is different from from simplified practice &this will reflect on Monaco and the confidence of the investors.
Strange I find that Miss Wittsock bears a striking resemblance physiognomically to Cheryl Tiegs the top model of the seventies.It is astonishing to look at their photos side by side.I think the angularities of these Plantagenet features are difficult to highlight but not impossible.No human being is ugly until they do something of the sort.
The second part of your commentary about this being the 'hook' to keep Pa is too trite and I credit him and Miss Wittsock with more.Frankly I think perhaps Miss Wittsock has become complacent with mediocrity which is generationally born.Why must we visit the "Atlantis " of fashion everytime we see this lovely Cheryl Tiegs look alike?
