Civil wedding dress: from the waist up, it looked okay. A old school suit in a very flattering color for Charlene. Waist down - what was up w/ that nightgown harem pants? And the the lace peeking out of the suit sleeves really bugged me. Then again, looking at the guests, the dress code for the civil wedding was as confusing as Charlene's ensemble with many guests had issues with clashing outfits. Then she took off the jacket for the concert and the jump suit didn't look that bad. It was still a confusing look, but without the suit, it stood on its own surprisingly well.
Religious dress: Exactly what I had imagined Armani creating for Charlene - figure flattering to her shoulders, but very sleek, modern and sexy without being strapless. Could have used less embroidery, like having it just on the skirt or stopping at the waist instead of growing up the bodice. I agree with those that thought the cut or the fit of the dress was a fit off. The arm hole was cut too big or the bodice was too small to cover her arm pit. That bit of skin made the dress look a awkward. But overall, I thought the dress was the perfect sleek, modern and sexy wedding gown but still appropriate for a royal wedding.
Did not like Albert in that white uniform. First, he looks too similar to his bride in that color. Second, he's in hist 50s and doesn't quite cut the dashing figure he did in his youth. I guess there must have been some dress code for naval uniforms because almost all the royal men showed up in them. But white was probably not the most flattering color for his "matured" figure. Even the older King Gustav looked better in his uniform than Albert did.
Her hair was perfect on both days. Loved the jeweled hair piece. Not a tiara but equally stunning and perfect compliment to her dress and veil.
