Princess Charlene's Fashion and Style Part 9: July 2013 - October 2013

[MissByrd]

I think Charlene looks stunning in this blue and with those great earrings. And, I, for one, would love to have her incredible figure, even including the '"swimmer's shoulders". She looks fit and healthy and has a beautiful face. I really don't know what's wrong with having "swimmer's shoulders".

But XC this is not a thread about a persons "looks and style" it is a thread about "fashion and style" which are not the same thing at all.

Charlene's dress is designed by a Monaco-based designer called Patrice Papa. LINK

she was a swimmer and swimmers use to have such a body (bones)
I love the colour of her dress, thanks for the contributions <3

NGalitzine: Sorry. You're right. It's easy to get "offsides" especially with the "swimmer's shoulders" remarks. :)

But, for the most part, I really do like Charlene's fashion and style. I like her beiges and muted colors.

Charlene was born with 'swimmer's shoulders' - and that being the case it is a personal characteristic she has had little control over. Why it's mentioned so much puzzles me, too.

P.S. I love her earrings in this picture!

I think some people think petite is beautiful and otherwise is not (beautiful).

Not me - I think men and women with broad shoulders look great.

You are who you are. Charlene is stunning.

Aaaaaaaaaaw, lovely

Great to see her relaxed and enjoying herself

Not everybody can wear all-black, but she looks great in it (the one-shoulder cut is not really my taste, but maybe that's just jealousy..i could never wear an outfit like that )

I agree. She always looks nice and pretty boring, no oomph. Not her fault entirely, as I think she loses by comparison with Caroline's outfits.

Absolutely elegant. I would have accessorized some great earrings with that outfit, but of course Charlene rarely wears earrings.

Great look, anyway.

[XeniaCasaraghi]

I think she looks great glad to see she is minimizing the shoulders. This is one time where her lack of jewelry doesnt bother me.

[IloveCP]

She looks great in that black outfit.

[Duchessmary]

Weird color choice for a birthday, IMO.
