Princess Charlene's Fashion and Style Part 11: November 2013 - March 2015

[casualfan]

Please provide a sample of what you think Charlene should wear. She's in her mid-30s and has a duty to a nation. It would be great to see what you think she should be wearing.

Personally, I think she is the best dressed princess in the whole of Europe, and I personally would own this outfit if I could.

Also, in the second photo of Charlene and the lady in the festive outfit at the old folks home, it looks as though Charlene is wearing a new eternity ring with her wedding band. Could be wrong, tho.

Sure! Thanks for asking!

You did a lot of work and I should have been clearer. What do you think she should have worn instead of what she wore. Most of your examples can't be compared to her coat as they are either gowns or summer sleeveless things.

Thanks for the effort, tho. Nice to see all those photos again.

Charlene today, December 18, at the annual Christmas party for children at the Princely Palace - love the idea of the skirt, the whole outfit is lovely for the occasion.

I love this - she is so elegant. This picture highlights the bolero jacket which I think enables the skirt to flow. Anything else and it would have looked bulky

This look is devine! Love it from head to toe. The skirt/kilt is amazing!! Can't find one thing to say otherwise.

 

[Frelinghighness]

Absolutely divine!!! Perfect and yes festive! Love the bolero, she should make that her signature. The red kilt is perfection also.
Festive without being corny.
Charlene is wearing a skirt and bolero that only those with her height and figure can. That is what she or anyone "should" be wearing. What looks well on them, and making it their own.
Now if only she had worn earrings and a necklace, pearls??

 

[MissByrd]

I loved the black coat. And this bolero and skirt are so beautiful. The cut, the color and the flow are lovely. These designs seem truly made for her. But I would love to gracefully swish around in them myself. One would feel like a princess.

 

[AdmirerUS]

Is that a zipper down the kilt? If not piping? In either case it's edgy and perfect on her. I'd have loved a pewter button earing - not too big. But that would have been icing on the cake.

Is that now in the forum's rules? We have to provide alternatives every time we don't like a garment?? Seriously-that was my opinion-you clearly have another opinion. I can think of a lot of capes and coats that look less like a 70-year-old going to a Junior League meeting and more like a 35-year-old princess consort.

 

[Elly C]

I love the kilt. Charlene should definitely wear this the next time she visits Scotland.

Your snotty reply about a 70 year old is quite offensive. Age has nothing to do with fashion. Queen Elizabeth has always been out of style, until recently, and looked like she was "70" when she was "30". Charlene dresses beautifully, most of the time. I assume you always dress, perfectly. On the other hand, I who am 72, must look like I am going to the Junior League. The coat looked nice, I have seen what younger people consider "style" and would flush those clothes. Sorry, don't be so dramatic in being so judgmental.

I agree with you, Kitty Atlanta, and to think this is a girl who used to spend her life in a swim suit/ tracksuit every day!...

I love it how they're always holding hands, to me it says they are really happy together...

Add me to the "Best Dressed Princess in Europe" chorus. I think the Princess of Monaco is in a league all her own!

I was also taken aback at the previous poster's abrupt reply. As a member of the Junior League, we also have many members in their 20's, yes, age has nothing to do with it.
Age and money have nothing to do with style, as QE has demonstrated, (above) who was so very out of style with all resources available, until recently.
Happily, Charlene has money and style and a fabulous height and figure. Now if we could just get more jewlery...

Oh, it's delightful to come on this thread, and see people being attacked for their opinions. Heavens, it's OK to think differently. This is not USSR (thank goodness)! Live, and let live, that's my take. In relevance to Charlene's outfit today, I think it's lovely. Very Scottish, and original. Not too many people can pull that look off, but she does, and does so very, very well.

 

[soapstar]

Not a fan of the black coat. I think it's kinda ugly.

Sorry, but this looks way too old for her. This would be a good look for Silvia or Sonia, but not for Charlene.

I agree. The coat definitely ages her. She has some lovely coats, but this isn't one of them.

Love the tartan skirt...the whole outfit is perfection.

 

[udyusa]

I'm coming in late, but I LOVE her in the long tartan skirt and bolero. One has to be tall to wear something that dramatic and she pulls it off beautifully! Very festive, as well. She does not need any jewelry with this outfit!

If you read my reply, you'll notice I said nothing about older ones dressing badly. I merely suggested that the coat aged Charlene. Surely it's not outrageous to suggest that the way an older woman dresses is not usually the same as how a younger woman would choose to.



As far as the fashion choices of younger women today, I completely agree with you. Women today think dressing like harlots makes them sexy. It doesn't. Therefore, I would never advocate Charlene dressing in this manner.



I love how I'm being attacked for my opinion about a coat, but the poster who suggested that I should provide pictorial evidence for my sartorial opinion gets nary a mention.



Once again, I know this is going to sound impossibly brave and daring, but I don't quite agree that Charlene's coat was the best choice for her.

Age and money have nothing to do with style, as QE has demonstrated, (above) who was so very out of style with all resources available, until recently.

I don't agree about QE at all. She dressed in classic styles (that never go "out of style") that flattered her figure. Also, she wasn't afraid to dress it up and always dressed appropriately. Charlene and every other royal would do well to imitate this, as they usually do already.

What a lovely festive look on the Princess,fits very well for the event

 

[Valerie Rose]

I love the long tartan kilt!
I wonder what fabric the little jacket is? Velvet would be perfect...
Very seasonable outfit altogether.

She looks great and I think that shade is a great color for the season.

Definitely this colour suits Princess Charlene! It's perfect for a blond woman.

 

[HereditaryPrincess]

Charlene looks elegant, I love that shade of red. Although I have mixed reviews about her shoes.

 

[Elly C]

Is the fabric suede? I like this dress - simple but still striking, and a lovely colour.
