I'm not a fan of the way she wore the national costume. It just looks a little odd to me. Having said that, I do like the fact that she wore it.

I KNOW it is a costume, I didn't express myself well. Let's put it this way, when you wear a costume, you have to look and act the part. The way this national costume was altered, it appeared to be closer to a Folies Bergere costume than a Monaco National costume, imo.

It must be a long time since you have been to the Follies Bergere if you think they wear anything resembling what Princess Charlene wore to the National Picnic.

A nice, simple, casual outfit for a school visit on September 16:

Princess Charlene has attended a luncheon hosted by First Lady Michelle Obama for spouses of chiefs of state and heads of government participating in the UN General Assembly in New York today, September 24, wearing a nice combination in white - a lovely look!

She looks great, very relaxed and confident. I like the cream dress. Mrs. Obama looks nice too IMO.

I think she looks polished and professional and yet feminine for this event. The dress could be a tad shorter for me but that's just nitpicking. I prefer it to our First Lady's dress.

She looks very blah to me. And in her profile pic, her hair looks as if she would have just woken up from a nap.

I think that Charlene looks all right, but nothing special. She kept it safe, and simple. I like the outfit she wore to the school.

I like the outfit she wore to the luncheon. I like the skirt length. Very few people have attractive knees, though, somewhat ironically, Charlene could just be one of those who do. And did we all note that she's wearing earrings! 
My initial reaction to the outfit she wore to the school was not as positive. I didn't like the scarf; I thought it was too broad and didn't seem to work. If she had to wear a scarf, 'd have liked to see a softer one that fell better, but I'd have preferred no scarf at all. And the pants didn't seem well cut and that bag seems too big. All in all I got the impression of a teacher applying for a job rather than an honoured guest.

She looked very good with Mrs. Obama. Now we know how tall she is!

It's a nice and elegant outfit, and this type of dress (suit?) suits Charlene, the peplum is a good fit for her broad shoulders, it makes her figure very proportional, but a little blah. A pop of colour would make it look better. Maybe different shoes? I don't like her hair, looks messy.
I would prefer the skirt a little shorter, but it's just me, I do not like this length.
On a side note I like Mrs. Obama's dress a lot.

A very pretty outfit for Princess Charlene - I've observed before that white/cream really suits her delicate colouring. Very nice!

I like the luncheon outfit. Not very impressive, but elegant and suits her very well.

Two more events in New York and two outfits in black - at a dinner celebrating Monaco's 20th anniversary of its entry in the UN in New York on September 24:

And at a reception with President Barack and Michelle Obama:
