    Lovely combination, not so “ stiff” as she often wears.

    As a fan of Jenny Packham evening clothes this does not disappoint - gorgeous - certainly better than the shapeless suits she has worn lately.

    She looks lovely in this dress. My only negative is her hair, I prefer when she has a fringe, it frames her face better imo.

    Typical Packham, the top part. And I don't mind that here, this typical Packham style is restricted to the top, striking enough this way, if not even more. Hair is better than in full hanging mode, but not what I would wish for.

    It seems that this royal family have more black tie events than others, so they are lucky to have HSH there to shine at all of them. I think she was made to wear gowns and this one is no exception. The combo of the silvery sparkly top with boat neck is so flattering and the cut on the skirt half is sexy and sophisticated.

      È nata per essere una campionessa olimpica, una buona stella ha cambiato il suo destino e il protocollo di corte ha fatto un buon lavoro facendola diventare quel che vediamo.

    Charlene est tout simplement sublime avec cette robe qui lui sied à merveille.
    Excellente idée de porter très peu de bijou.
    Le haut de la robe est un bijou.

    Although it is said that Princess Charlene never wears something twice, I think I saw her in this outfit only recently. For me she can wear it on more occasions in the future because I like it very much and it suits her. I like everything by Jenny Packham.

    HSH always brings the old Hollywood glamour to these events. The dress is perfection. Her hair is beautiful. My only tinsy gripe,is I would have preferred a red lipstick,but that’s just personal choice. Other than that she looks stunning.
    Lowri.

  14. Elle est magnifique dans cette robe dont j’adore la fluidité de la jupe ; quant à ses cheveux, je la préfère nettement avec une coupe courte !

    Just when I think Jenny Packham can’t possibly impress me more than she already has, this gown comes along…absolutely stunning. _Sublime_, to use another commenter’s word. And Princess Charlene wears it sublimely. If I were another lady on the royal scene, I’d be soooo envious, wishing that I had been the one to debut this dress before the eyes of the world.

    Great to see JP has something a little different to offer - most of her dresses are same old same old, and though I can see the hours of work that goes in to them they are slightly dull from being endlessly repeated. LRB

      @LRB, yes, it is same old. But is not same-old-beautiful not so much better than new-for-the-sake-of-new (or: same-old-but-not-so-nice like Erdems flowers)? These Packham gowns are predictable, you are right - but they are like fluid gold or silver surrounding softly female forms ... it is beautiful. Just wanted to footnote it ...

    Exquisite!!! Jenny Packman always for a winning look and excellent tailoring. Charlene is one with the dress! MR

  18. This sequinned top and black skirt gown looks stunning. It hugs her body shape perfectly, what a wonderful fit. The slight skirt train, very appealing. I don't normally like sequins, but this is the exception, the top looks beautiful. Looks to be a bracelet diamond? and earrings. Lovely addition. Her hair looks soft and natural, I personally love her shorter hair, she suits it well, but this length equally lovely.

    This dress is fine. I haven't seen an evening dress that I really loved on a royal in while.
