We asked the same at same time CasiraghiTrio
Jean Thierry, didn't know that guy. He is good looking.
Also I didn't know Beatrice had a brother, I thought they were three sisters.
I am not certain it's him at the ball. I saw a pic of Carlo once and of course I never found the pic again. So I think it
could be him. You're right, they have the three older sisters who have a different mother. Carlo and Bea have the same mother.

Who is the guy between Charlotte and Tatiana?
http://i41.tinypic.com/6xuw09.jpg
We can see Beatrice, Stavros Niarchos (I think) Charlotte, the guy, and Tatiana. Is Tatiana's brother?
Its Andrea Stefanowicz Sabrier.
I can't believe he is Sabrier. I've seen Sabrier in many pics with Casiraghis, and that guy cannot be him. I'm not totally convinced he's Julio either, but I have a hard time believing he's Sabrier. But he could be, I mean Sabrier is always at the ball. Anyway, it doesn't matter, but I was hoping it was Julio, because he seems cool and I like the SD's (most of them)
It's interesting playing the ID game, though.
Nathalie Cox, I don't know about Andreas & Eugenie dating. Maybe. I understand they are
very good friends. I wouldn't be surprised if they dated. But the last I heard, she was dating some hot guy of whom there were pics posted last summer (in Eugenie's thread at TFS): the two on Spetsopoula (the Niarchos island in the Aegean) for her birthday celebrations.

Vanina is pregnant?!!! I just saw pics of her with Tatiana, at least I think that's Vanina Mandilli---I'm sorry, I'm probably butchering her name right now.
Very close, just one letter off: Vanina Mandelli. I didn't notice at first she was pregnant 'cuz I wasn't paying attention to her but in that purepeople pic, I can see it. I think you're right. Pregnancy suits her very well. She is pretty for the first time! Her face is so much softer and filled out. She looks beautiful. I never thought I'd say that about her.

Andrea's looking good, love that his tux fits him well, which isn't often. Anyone solved the mystery of his shoes? Doesnt he wear those everytime he attends the ball?
Do they have roses on them?? I haven't come across any good HQ's for getting a good look. They are sort of like the pair he wears that have the skull n' crossbones only it seems like roses on this pair.

Caroline walks in front of the Sovereign Prince.
Princess Caroline is her own sovereign!!
To her Albert is just the little brother she used to kick around like a soccer ball!
On my own now.......
I said it before, and I'll say it again, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Charlotte's dress. I saw someone ID it as Chanel Haute Couture. It's a perfect pick for the occasion and looks fantastic on her. I like Tatiana's look too. I love that jewelry piece on her forehead. I wish I could see the whole dress of Gaia Repossi, because from waist up she is lovely. She's another one (like Vanina) who is not a classic beauty, but she can put herself together and look fabulous. Gaia has great style and beautiful hair, and there is something very ..... very elegant, and "cool" about her. I didn't notice Eugenie Niarchos in any pics. That's surprising.
, but it is so great to see some royal at the ball. I don't recall any royal people at Rose Ball.
It wasn't loose or baggy (like muumuu's normally are), in fact, it was rather form fitting. Notice the slight gathering just below her bust and hips to give the added impression of curves and then a long straight line to floor to make it look like she's got long legs? It's just the A-Line/princess cut of her dress. It gives added height to a lot of people (and Caro looks pretty tall in most of the photos I've seen) due to the seamlessness of the cut. She's worn this style once before, at the 2008 Red Cross Ball, at pulled it off then as well. It takes a certain body to pull off an A-Line (you can't be too wide at the hips but neither can you be too thin at the hips) so if Caroline can wear it then more power to her I say. As far her dress tying into the theme, it's very subtle. She doesn't have to wear a caftan to make it work. The blue of the neckline of her dress matches (almost exactly) the blue of the motifs used by Jacques Grange (I also noticed the rose print, which is rather appropriate considering). If you wanted to get into detail, you could say that her earrings match a common Moroccan motif (the four pointed star or the diamond made from four smaller ones). As you pointed out before, she's also carrying a fez hat. I don't it requires a strong amount of detail that matches (although Beatrice's gown is one of my favourites of the night) but just enough to matter. Too much and it would be overwhelming. Just my two cents.
