The bag is nice the shoes are a mystery the dress is boring and childish and the coat is okay the lipstick colour is awful on her IMO

[udyusa]

Awful! All I see is her lips staring at me! Beautiful handbag...

I'm in love with her handbag but I'm not impressed by her outfit. It's not awful, just uninteresting. I prefer her hair from the other day.

Great outfit, fabulous bag and the hair is nice. The lip however reminds me of the 1980's! Not a fan of the lips.

I think the lipstick is very cool, it suits her and her none make-up make-up well.
Is it purple over red?

Gosh, I think she looks wonderful in these- kind of Charlize Theron-ish, and that's a good thing. The lipstick is different, but definitely on trend.

[Daria_S]

I like this look. Charlene looks very nice; casual, but still very appropriate. The lipstick is not the best choice.

[Queen Christina]

The outfit is kind of blah, but her hair and makeup are great. I like the purple lipstick on her!

[Roslyn]

Yikes! That lipstick! It wouldn't be so bad if it matched something she was wearing, but it doesn't even seem to match the bag. And I don't think that blue-toned mauve colour suits her skin tone. But I love her hair.

I think it maybe matched in some other lighting? Not in the photos, though.

Also, the outfit looked way better in the natural light outside.

Flats and a dress fit for a high-school girl? Purple lipstick? She's representing Monaco, for Christ's sake. Kate of Cambridge would overshadow her in any occasion, let alone Caroline. I think she ought to do better than that. I liked her previous blue/black straight dress though.

I admit I was wondering if maybe the lipstick matched the bag in other lighting. Those can be tricky colours to capture accurately on camera, though I would expect professional photographers' cameras to be better at it than my entry-level DSLR.

I am not sure as to which lipstick Charléne is using, but I know that there is a Dior lipstick in a very similar colour like the one she has worn for the fashion show The colour is pretty and unconventional (maybe not everybody´s cup of tea!), it´s good to see that she is not afraid of experimenting with various colours and styles :-)

No need to draw comparisons, really. This isn't a competition. It's one thing to have an opinion, but making snide remarks is in bad taste altogether. Nothing wrong with flats, the dress -- although a little dull, admittedly -- is quite acceptable, and the combination of bag/lipstick makes it an interesting look. IMO, of course.

I love the whole look. Hair makeup dress. If she had on some earrings I would say perfection!

Snide remarks? They are not malicious. Cynical and disappointed. If Charlene can do nice, appropriate outfits - as she sometimes proves to be able to - I don't see why she cannot stay consistent. She has the means, the position and the figure to dress properly for any occasion. More than that, she has the duty to do so, as she represents a country. This is her duty and it is expected that she does it well. Most of her outfits seem careless.

We all try to dress appropriately for our jobs. I fail to understand why she does not put more effort and thought into her job.

[LadyGabrielle]

I think she looks great. Simple and elegant. Make-up was minimal and because of that, the lipstick was appropriate. Color is trendy. All in all, lovely.

Princess Charlene with Albert with the patrician of the Russian church?

She looks nice but I wish she'd worn a skirt.

UGH. Black....again?? And again and again???

[Frelinghighness]

Love the black and blue dress. The purple lipstick and alien hair looks very unflattering imo at fashion show.Her makeup without lipstick looks wonderful, however.
Black for the russian priest, very hard to see her outfit, black isn't really her color.
