I wish she would get away from the brown, beige and black.

Also in these pictures she doesn't seem to be wearing much makeup.

I agree. Her wardrobe seems to be a lot less "Expensive" than they used to be. She used to have more to spend on clothes. Her $200-240k USD stipend (while a large sum for most normal people) does not go far for a princess who has a house, household staff, children, cars and appearances to keep up.

Princess Alexandra looks beautiful with or without make-up. It shouldn't really matter whether she has new clothes or not nor should it really matter how much make-up she wears or the style of hats. The focus should be on the event or charity she is supporting. The causes and issues are important to her, obviously, that is the point of it all, right?

She is more substance than fluff.
