On March 21, 2026, Prince Albert II and Princess Charlène, accompanied by Princess Akiko of Mikasa, officially launched the event “Japan in Monaco” on the forecourt of the Grimaldi Forum. The program included an official ceremony featuring a demonstration of Japanese drums, a dance performance, and a Washi-Sakura workshop. For the occasion, Princess Charlène wore a floral midi dress by Zimmermann.
The year 2026 marks the 20th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Monaco and Japan. Several events are being organized in the Principality and in Tokyo to celebrate the ties between the two countries. Beginning on Saturday, March 21, the forecourt of the Grimaldi Forum and the Japanese Garden will host activities under the theme “Japan in Monaco,” in the presence of Prince Albert II and Princess Charlène.
Well, sorry, but I don't like this dress. I generally don't like these ridiculous small standing collars and buttoned dresses ... but apart from that, main thing could be that this soft-flowery style is simply not in Charlene's favour. She is one who shines so bright in the simplest of lines and contours. To tell the truth, I cannot imagine any of the royal ladies looking good in this dress, I just cannot pinpoint objective factors. I simply don't find anything that I like on this dress.
ReplyDeleteThis Zimmerman dress is a departure from her usual style, but I think she looks fantastic. The floral detail looks sophisticated, not farm girl, and the colors are beautiful on PC. Perfect for spring!
ReplyDeleteInteresting that P. Akiko is wearing suit in Monaco colour and P. Charlene is wearing the soft Japanese pastel colours. It is okay, a nice length and fits in well with the other formal outfits. Her shoes are nice. The young man sitting next to her should of polished his dusty shoes.
