The white strapless jumpsuit is lovely and she wears it really well. The colour is great on her. The only problem I have is that I find it an inch too long or it could just be the way she is standing. I think if she wore a really chinky necklace or a long necklace it would've looked much nicer.

But heels would have made her even taller compared to the other people there so maybe that's why she opted for a lower shoe

I am most likely in disagreement with everyone here, but I did not like the white jumpsuit. It reminded me of old, rich ladies retired in Florida.

I have never seen any old rich retired ladies in florida looking like that! She looks divine, what a figure! But, with Ralph and ricky Lauren the picture looks absurd! I can't believe they allowed that picture, someone should have posed the picture so the Laurens didn't look so ridiculous, and Charlene next to them for that matter! What a mistake for people so concerned with image.

She is stunning. The rest is sour grapes. I was an old lady retired in Florida, never looked that good at any time. I am in TN now, I guess that is the problem.

Ooooh, the black dress with the ruffled neck is so dramatic! She looks gorgeous. The closeup shot of her face is stunning. Beautiful hair and makeup. Keep it up, Charlene, I love it when you look good!

To me the halter-neckline (like that on the burgundy gown the other day) tends to make her neck appear shorter. The ruffles are a lovely frame for her face, however :)

Holy Wowza!! Has Charlene been hitting it out of the park lately or what!?! She looks incredible in that dress andvlove the ruffle.
Why do I have a feeling someone sat her down and had a long talk w/her after the disasters worn both in NYC and the Russian visit? No proof, but seeing how amazing she's looked the last few outings, and complete w/jewelry, it does make you wonder.

To say that Charlene is hitting it out of the ballpark is something of an understatement! Every evening or gala dress is a knockout and this last one with it's ruffles framing her face show . . . yes no earrings but who cares . . . she looks fabulous.

Totally agree with these observations. Charlene has looked very good during this visit to the USA. I wonder how many of these stunning evening gowns get a second outing - she is beginning to amass a collection that would warrant her own exhibition.

Charlene is stunning she must keep Ralph Lauren, apart the dress she wore the day of the rose ball this year, all the dresses are beautiful on her. I like the ring and the bracelet she wore yesterday.

Wow!! Lovely gown, and complemented by beautiful hair, makeup and jewellery. I like the fact that she's been wearing more jewellery lately. I'm not a fan of too much or too chunky as some Royals tend to do, but a little is nice. She makes a stunning picture.
Agree that she's been getting good advice lately. The style of Ralph Lauren suits her, and the addition of hair, makeup and jewellery contribute to some awesome appearances! I bet the Prince is so proud of her and disappointed that he couldn't join her...

It could very well be that, because the change is remarkable.
The dress is stunning, and she seems to start feeling comfortable to wear sophisticated gowns.

Some royal ladies wear their royal heritage jewelry, ancient antique pieces with modern haute couture gowns and the effect is not as nice as wearing modern accessories as Charlene does.

I'm not very convinced with that thing around her neck...I do like the effect that adds to her shoulders, though. All the attention centers around the neck and the shoulders don't look that broad, which is actually nice.
I also like the color of the dress, she basically has to wear colors, like this or the violet of Ralph Lauren, or the burgundy one looked very good on her.
Also the jewellery is nice.
