Princess Pavlos, Marie Chantal's Fashion and Style Part 1: February 2003 - June 2013

[Her_Majesty]

Marie Chantal goes Madonna.

Do you remember Madonna's black dress in Cannes? MC looks alot like her in that pictures.

 

[agami.pearl]

I don't like this outfit. Too black i nmy opinion.

 

[carlota]

i think MC generally dresses very well. in general she looks polished, adequate and the clothes actually look of a very high quality. she also carries them with aplomb and not forced or artificial.

 

[Zonk]

I actually think she looks nice...perhaps not the right look for the occassion...but I love the hair and the makeup. She could probably lose the pearls.

 

[Boris]

Of course Her Majesty is on the mark. It's a top-to-bottom Madonna '08 copy, to the point of being ridiculous.
Madonna could hire her looking like that to divert the paparazzi, but then we know MC doesn't need a few extra bucks.

 

[pamk]

I thought that this WAS a photo of Madonna - I can't believe that it is Marie Chantal!
She looks terrible! The dark roots in her hair, the ugly dress, the long pearls - ick!
I can't see in the phtot really well, but is that Mary of Denmark behind her?
From what I can tell, Mary has on a pretty awful looking outfit also - and her hair looks shellaced with hair spray -

 

[Zonk]

Poor MC can't win. Any other time she is dressed to perfection...perfect dress..perfect smile...perfect hair and she is called the ice queen.

She has five kids...she probably thought let me try something different. Again...I like the look.

 

[princess gertrude]

MC is definitely off the mark with this black outfit. It's very uncoordinated looking. I think that hair and makeup were different for her, but just not with this outfit.

 

[bertie5252003]

She does seem to be making odd choices of late and I have to say it seems most out of character I have always admired her look...... she looks horrible in these photos.The colour of her hair is even a little to young.

Btw, she's wearing Louboutins.

 

[sgl]

Btw, she's wearing Louboutins.

I noticed that too! IMO, they are the only redeeming part of her ensemble. Oh, those red soles.......

 

[Carminha Stalker]

Princess Marie Chantal is an extremely elegant lady. The fact that she has lots of money for me is not just the reason she is so. Because I know people who have lots of money and dress awfully.
I wish I could look this good after having had 5 children!

 

[dazzling]

Im not too sure what she is wearing. Looks like a nice black evening dress worn with a nice lace/chiffon top underneth. I dont understand the mix-match, looks messy. The hair doesnt work at all nor does the pale make-up

 

[kalipay]

I don't like the dress- it's very Morticia Addams and kind of grim-looking.

But, I love the hair- MC usually doesn't do a tousled look, and with a different outfit, she would rock it rather nicely. (And, love the Louboutins!)

 

[rubies]

This outfit would look a lot better if she didn't have such a scowl on her face. She must have known she was going to get her picture taken. Put a smile on for 8 seconds and your outfit won't be so important!!!

 

[pamk]

Bad day at the office for MC! Maybe she has too much on her plate at once: 5 kids (including a new baby), a growing business, entertaining royalty, etc.
I bet that Mama Chantal popped a gasket when she saw a photo of her daughter in such an ugly frock, messy hairdo and scowling face!

 

[olili]

Gywnet Platrow did the same groming.

 

[chelsea]

Marie Chantal was dressed by Prada

 

[PrincessofEurope]

Btw, she's wearing Louboutins.

They were the best bit about the outfit

 

[Alisa]

The dress is actually very nice. It just doesn't suit Marie Chantal's post-baby body. In the photo, the dress looks tight around the waist.

Her hair could've been much better. A more elegant updo would've complimented the dress very nicely--and that pearl necklace was just out of place.

Marie-Chantal and daughter Olympia at a book signing at Harrod's in Knightsbridge on 8 December 2008:

I really like the shape of the coat, and I love the clutch.

 

[SASSY]

I love the shape of the coat! Gawd Olympia has grown!!!

 

[leene]

Just been looking at all the pictures in this thread. I don't know the GRF that well.
I admire the way she looks after having 5 ! children. Well she has a lot of help I think.
But for one of other reason I am not to keen on her way of dressing and grooming. I think it is to polished, I can't explain it properly, I think I just like more natural looking people. Also her husband, just not mine cup of tea. In Holland we would say "te gladjes" but I don't know how to translate that. Anyway she wears some nice dresses and luckily we don't all like the same people

 

[BELTRANEJA]

Look!
These are two photos of the wedding of Princess Elena of Spain in Sevilla in 1995, it was the first official act of Marie Chantal among the royal houses of Europe.
I think her style was very conservative, I think she has evolved to a more liberal and modern style.

[iakynthi]

Beltraneja,you're wonderful!!Well,first of all,I admit I like the first suit with the skirt.And yes,she was extremely conservative and carefull at the beginning,but I guess that's just because she had to prove a lot to the royal circles.The pressure on her must have been hard About the second outfit:MC must have scared a lot of people that evening

 

[BELTRANEJA]

I recognize that if we compared to the old MC with modern MC, she is other woman… At present, I think that she has image advisers.
In the photos she was a timid woman with the photographers but, then she changed.
It was her first official act,she only was of test

 

[sgl]

She looks scared to death in the second photo! The large pink hat in the first photo was a bit much, but the suit was nice. It is fun to look back to see how her style has evolved.

Well, maybe it has been better for her to start with a conservative style instead of starting with a clamorous gaffe...

I prefer the second one, it's much more classic!
The first one reminds me of the 80's...
