Very well said! I totally agree with you. She should quit Lagerfeld and wear something that suits her Mediterranean looks.

) that last year another guy belonging to the group of Casiraghi friends wore the same shoes. Maybe it’s an inside joke ?
it was so-o-o-o nice to see pics of the crowd that they looked sincerely enjoying themselves and the fact there was even a Princess whom went was really nice to see. i had no idea they used so many flowers wow. does anyone know if steph children are old enough to attend or maybe they are just so busy all year long that sometimes it just nice to put your feet up for the night and watch a movie knowining that Caroline and PA have everything under control
In truth HRH Princess Caroline is elegant but more intellectual and elegant is this lady who is royal and does not wear "dark" colours and that in Europe.Strange that it is suitable for this great lady to wear the colours you hypothetically dispprove on Camilla and the First Lady but she wears an array all the time and probably would have to the Rose Ball:Yes, colour at The Rose Ball has nothing to do with elegance.Amazing this Queen wears white even: I have no clue which Europeans you represent and speak for your self and HRH Princess Caroline because Her Majesty Queen Sylvia does not wear "dark" in her gala wardrobe.le_ptit_diablotin said:Well I agree with you. But we know as well that the favourite colour of HRH The Princess Caroline is blue dark and black dark according to her unofficial biography. As you can remark, Caroline often wore in dark colour. Why? Because I think it might suits perfectly to her and her personnality, maybe to her age.
Do you think if is it suitable to the spouse of President Bush if she is able to wear in pink or yellow? No ... And The Duchess of Cornwall Camilla? Nope... That's why. I mean it about evening dress and no official daily clothes
I'm absolutely sure that her mother the Princess Grace will very proud of her daugther, because Caroline is also one of the most elegant women of the world, don't forget it. Caroline have been elected several times the most elegant women of the world (she beated several times her title compared to the Princess Diana.....)
I even think that Rose Ball thread from last year had more posts. It seemed posters were more excited about the ball b/c couriosity whenever Charlene would have appear or not...

According to the Point de Vue magazine today, Caroline wants to choose of dressing it for the theme "Tzigane" as her cousine Albina of Boisrouvray (godmother of Charlotte) with her amazing necklace (I really love it) that's why. The Rose Ball was a fantastic success and that is what matters.le_ptit_diablotin said:Thank you for your message, Jaya! I have to say that HRH the Princess Caroline is not dressed in dark at all at the Rose Ball last saturday, the color of her robe is lot of mixed colors, as you can see closely into pictures, the color is mixed : gold, red, dark brown, a bit of blue, orange, yellow etc ... (very hard to describe exactly)
One important point, Caroline came personnally in the Sporting Club to supervise the Rose Ball several days about the decoration, music, etc before the day of the Gala. It's also the Princess Caroline who choose and invente herself the topic of Rose Ball every year with help of 2 organizing women, Francoise Dumas and Anne Roustang.
PS : Thank you for the Queen's Gowns, it's incredible!
My point was colour and not style.The argument went that colour is not age appropriate or the carrier of elegance as stipulated by Chanel's wisdom on mature[Laura Bush & Camilla} women so I chose Queen Sylvia as an example.I do not find Queen Sylvia's gowns for a consort and Queen dated and aflashbacl to the fifties and sixties. They are not British styles but by a Danish designer mostly, Jorgen Bender.Perhaps you mean that some look like the "Winterhalter" look.The fuller skirts are designed to be able to sustain the jewels and tiara. Just look at her gowns in 1979 and in 2006.They are timeless. Nicole Kidman is too tall{could be in the circus} too pale and wore a colour which was unbecoming on her this year from Balenciaga to the Oscars..HRH Princess Caroline can wear her "dark" or can incorporate her colours either way as she is a stunning lady & beautiful princess at any Ball.I hope your closet then is full of these fabulous"wow" designers you describe..as eye openers to all of us who may not have heard of them ..no pun intended....iloveroyals said:
well with regards to caroline i think from the few pics i have seen she does wear colors well, and stephanie too although to re-iterate i think she is just so busy that sometimes it's just nice to sit at home knowing PA AND CAROLINE and children are holding down the fort. however stephanie too seem to look wonderfully colorful although here in Europe we do tend to use darker colours but still they do have a good variety from what i have seen any opINions on this
