On July 19, 2023, Prince Albert and Princess Charlene attended the traditional candlelit dinner organized by the Town Council of Monaco. The dinner took place at Mairie de Monaco (The City Hall) located on Place de la Mairie. The City Hall’s remit is highly varied, from civil registration services to early childhood issues and home help for the elderly.
On July 19, Princess Charlene of Monaco received at the Prince's Palace, the members of Jimmy’z Monte-Carlo as well as the crew of Alice et Alexia (Wondermums Rallye) to receive two cheques in favor of her Foundation. The funds raised will be used for the "Swim for Safety" project in Sri Lanka aimed at teaching underprivileged children water safety measures, survival swimming and basic first aid.
On July 17, Prince Albert and Princess Charlene attended the jubilee gala of The International German Club of the Principality of Monaco (Club Allemand International de la Principauté de Monaco, CAI) at the Salle Empire of the Hotel de Paris. The CAI was founded in 1973.
Charlene looks really elegant in blue. I'm dying to see a picture with a full look of the black dress, it looks very promising!
ردحذفHas the Princess ever been seen to smile since she sobbed her way through her wedding?
حذفStrange comment, Dianne. Many many photos show her smiling including the lovely photo of the couple at dinner a couple of nights ago--posted on 19th July

حذفYou know, I think we should make- do strange comments all around this blog by now.
I agree with what you said.

حذفCate and anyone else who made you the fashion police. Stressful times for the Princess and these kind of comments are not helpful. We should wear what suits us with the ridicule. Walk in her shoes and you'll want nothing but encouragement it's not easy being in the spotlight all the time. I hope she let's her hair grow back out such a lovely lady and graceful.
حذف03.49: why "stressful times"? A life in luxury...
حذفI like what I can see of the lbd worn on July 19th but the dress worn to the dinner kind of comes across as pieces of tape stuck together.
ردحذفI am the first to make a comment so will be interested in reading what other people think
about the dinner dress.
Cate, I had the same reaction! The “tape”dress looks bizarre,in my opinion.
حذفThe July 17 evening dress is Akris and floor-length, and the strips are patent leather on tulle. I couldn’t find a pic of the Princess in it, but the full dress is on Akris’ site. It’s sort of a strange mix of edgy and demure with the combination of leather and tulle. I like it - to my eyes, HSH pulls it off really well.

My first association with the dinner dress was a prison window (sorry, I can't help it, this is what came to my mind first) and the second that we have seen something similar, a slightly "martial" design ... but I can't remember any further details. But I find it challengingly interesting, more interesting than the first one. (GM)
حذفI would die to have that dress, I am sure it is a Louis Vuitton, a brand I like very much. I bought a Vuitton dress last winter, but since my budget only allows one purchase, that will be it. The quality is amazing.
حذفDuck tape came to my mind as well. The navy dress is very beautiful.

What an interesting black dress

Modèles très élégants mais je ne sais pas s'ils sont de son couturier fétiche Akris ; je pencherais quand même pour le deuxième dans un style plus moderne !
ردحذفOui Akris pour les 2
حذفDiese ewig engen Knopfspielchen des Fürsten. Man möchte ihm wirklich den Finger in den Bauchnabel stecken : ) Ich freue mich erneut die Fürstin zu sehen, bin auch ein wenig bei dem Gedanken, Isolierband - aber wenn es ihr so gefällt - sie kann es tragen, wer sonst? -Dorothe-

ردحذفhas got her glamour back....serenely beautiful and poised..you are being admired Charlène!!! Do not lose your poise!!!
Really like the first dress--very elegant and beautiful on Charlene. Sorry, but the Akris choice is awful--the dress looks like it had to be taped up because it was badly torn. The style of it is beautiful for Charlene--but that tape is dreadful. Really wonderful to see her out and about too.

I agree. Love the first dress, elegant and understated and very Charlene but the Akris one is awful. t reminded me of a medieval helmet. Even for someone as slim as the Princess it's unflattering. Ans poor Prince Albert looks stuffed into his dinner jacket at the same function. Glad they revived for the function on the 19th! .
حذفBoth dresses are by Akris.
حذفShe looks great in both dresses but I think the Akris gown is fantastic! It’s sophistication with an edge, which I think matches her so well.
ردحذفAlso, as a fellow swimmer, it makes me so happy that she uses her high profile to constantly support water safety and access around the world. She is truly saving lives!
I'm with you on the Akris dress. I love that it's edgy and different and I also agree that it suits her style and personality perfectly. Charlene is not the 'frou-frou' type, and few - if any - of the other 'delicate' royal women could wear this type of gown with conviction, like she does.

She is one elegant lady. Great look. css
ردحذفI like everthing about this edgy sensational evening gown.
ردحذفWhen I first saw it I just said: wow, this is THE dress!
I would wear it myself without a second thought.
Very inspirational.
Absolutely well done, dear Charlene, you look divine.
I was referring to the patent leather gown in my previous comment.
ردحذفShe looks lovely and actually her hair is not as dark as I thought. The pictures taken outside show it is a bit lighter. I even like the duck tape dress on her and only she could pull that off. She looks like she has gained some weight which she needed to do. Her make up is not over the top and she looks great. The navy gown is my favorite ( although I thought it was black) but I saw that someone posted it was navy. Wish I could see the entire dress.
