^^^ I agree with your comment. I didn't care for the drape in front, although I like the Grecian style on Stephanie. I didn't think the color was the best for her, but I believe she's definitely improving.

The dress looks lovely,but she would either need a nice summer-holiday tan or chose a different colour, maybe a brighter shade of orange or some kind of blue, to make this dress a real winner.
The cut and design of the drape dress are very flattering and beautiful, this is definitely a sartorial improvement for HGD Stéphanie! She is learning fast :-)

This dress is lovely on Stephanie.
I disagree with who said that she has a bad posture based on only one pic.She may not be perfect but she certainly doesn't have a problem of posture.
There are two high profile princesses who have absolutly bad posture but Stephanie isn't among them

This is one of the best dresses she´s ever worn (which isn´t a great achievement, anyway...).
Beautiful, simple dress in a colour that flatters her, really beautiful and youthful hairstyle, lovely clutch...nothing to complain about from me, she looks lovely for once

Yeah, the drape in front is another thing I find off about the dress.

The best since her wedding... but, IMO, there's something (I don't know what) about the style that still looks old for her. She looks lovely, her face is radiant and her husband looks so very happy each time we see her. It's an 8 (with her wedding gown being a 10).

I agree - its the best since her wedding dress built still not fantastic - maybe needs to be a different colour.

I think this is one of her best looks. Good color and a nice style on her.

I agree. She looks minimalistic, elegant and beautiful. This is her best showing in formal evening wear since her own wedding last year.

It is really quite a beautiful styling, dress, hairstyle to the other side of the one shoulder, earrings...she obviously had help that she hasn't had since her wedding.

Stephanie has beautiful but very pale skin so I think the colour of the dress drained her. Wearing a draped, Grecian-styled one-shoulder dress needs oodles of self confidence and I don't thing Stephanie is there yet. Had she styled a classic Grecian up do it might have mitigated the effect of the bared shoulder, instead it just look pale and undressed.
I don't think this dress does her any favours. She is lovely, she has an inbred grace not to mention a figure that can carry just about any style. Unfortunately the draped bit did look like it swamped her and hid her lovely curves.
Still, she has come a long way in a very short time and I will be looking with interest at what she unveils for the wedding.

I love the fact that her hair is in a loose chignon to go with her Grecian gown, instead of severely pulled off her face like she normally does. And her makeup looks like evening makeup for a change!
I agree with Frelinghighness that she had some help for this event.
Good job, overall. Let's see what she does tomorrow.

Yes, her hair looked great! She for sure had some advise (I'm not a fan of the word help really). But... Good advise at that if you ask me
Her best since her wedding day! And, that was a 10!
