I like the gown, but she needed a bit grooming this time.

Its a shame because I love the minimalistic stye in general and I appreciate that Charlene, even though she could, doesnt walk around bejewelled like a christmas tree, but this is sloppy. The outing with the German First Lady was ok, but this time ... just like coming out of the pool, putting the hair out of the face, and then wearing such a dress, strange.

Charlene attending a formal dinner in Monaco July 24th. She has worn this before , but I seem to recall she accompanied the outfit with some rather spectacular earrings.

She looks stunning! Minimal jewels and all!

Maybe she is holding back so that she can surprise us all at the ball

The dress definitely flatters her figure, but it's too flesh-toned for me. She looks washed out. To tell you the truth, Charlene fades in the background in comparison to the woman wearing that stunning rose-colored gown. Whoever she is, she certainly stands out; she's really beautiful.

Charlene looks stunning - a natural beauty. The dress is beautiful and subtle. Love this look.

That's Natalia Vodianova who sponsored the ball. Natalia is a supermodel who was married to a British aristocrat until recently.

Loving this peach dress - wish my waist looked as good as Charlene's.

She looks wonderful!!!! Color other than a variation of tan and black? Check. Flattering silhouette? Check. A little bit of sparkle? Check (I'm counting the pseudo-sparkle in the skirt because I'm desperate like that).

She looks stunning. Natlia's gown is nice, but she doesn't look as elegant.

Charlene's top half of the dress looks like a very expensive night gown but the bottom half with lace looks really pretty. If this was in a strong color it would look like a proper evening dress. Studs and a bracelets wouldn't have killed.
Does anyone know who designed the gown?

It is a very pretty gown, but not the best colour for HSH. I wonder, do folk here think she is a "Summer" or "Winter" in the simple 1980's 'seasonal colours' concept? I'm inclining to think she is a Winter, myself. Seems that the cool deep colours or icy pastels suit her best, and the beige isn't quite right...

If Charlene would be some kind of celebrity, this would be a good look. But she is the Princess of Monaco, and I miss the dignity and poise in her. And the colour of this outfit isn't the best possible for her, and gives also the impression of a nightgown. Natalia Vodianova looked gorgeous.

Charlene is stunning, on all the articles today, we see only the dresses of Charlene and Natalia, nothing about the dresses of Caroline (...)
