I have to admit the dress for such an occasion seems a little odd but, the men are wearing business suits so her dress is not outré, merely surprising.
As to the colours? Beautiful rich blue and red, but on this occasion it was just too bright and leached what little colour she had out of her face. The end result was a tired and wan Princess with a lovely smle.

She's looked great in these last two events. Perhaps a little tired in the Italian ceremony, but the color was great. (Plus, I worry about looking at one or two pictures and then deciding someone looks like they have some sort of attitude, just because it's a snapshot and not the totality of someone's day or experience.)
This last white dress might be :just: white, but the styling is great, and she looks fresh and healthy.

I'd say she looks wore out. Like she rolled out of bed, pulled her bangs out of her face, and pulled on a dress.

Princess Charlene's style stays the same: sportif minimalism.

Nothing special about her dress to me. Rather blah.. But if she's not feeling well, than it is remarkable that she can even look this good!

I like the last two outfits think she looks very elegant. The blue and white had an interesting diagonal to hide a little tummy, something which I carry around all the time,lol.
Scarves are a pregnant woman's best friend

I do wish she had worn something more formal for the last occasion but at the same time I just adore short dresses on pregnant ladies.

nothing wrong with the white dress but nothing special,

It is nice but it is just a dress. It is a pity Charlène does not learn to accesorize with a Hermès scarf, a Lanvin belt (not with maternity wear), some glimmers from the family vaults, a pair of gloves (not necessarily to be worn). Just show that you are 'Madame' and no assistent or something.
