On June 26, 2026, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the RAMOGE Agreement, Prince Albert II and Princess Charlène inaugurated the exhibition “Preserving the Mediterranean. RAMOGE: A Pioneering Agreement for 50 Years”, held at the State Ministry in Monaco in the presence of Christophe Mirmand, Minister of State.
Created by the RAMOGE Agreement Executive Secretariat and the National Archives of Monaco, with the support of the Archives of the Prince’s Palace and the Audiovisual Institute of Monaco, the exhibition retraces half a century of exemplary cooperation between Monaco, France, and Italy in support of protecting the Mediterranean.
Open until October 30 in the hall of the State Ministry, the exhibition highlights fifty years of actions aimed at preserving the marine environment, combating pollution, and raising public awareness of environmental challenges. For the occasion, Princess Charlène wore a sleeveless checked dress by Beulah London.
Nice dress with interesting design at the neck/collar and slight A-line skirt. Even with the plaid, there’s nothing to grab the focus, so I’d prefer a dark belt or the darker sandals on the model.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the focus is missing.If Letizia were wearing this, (and it would suit her very well), her dark hair would anchor the look.
DeleteI dont know that a dark belt or darker shoes would help in this instance because the pattern would still pull attention away from Charlene's face.
If this pattern were in a lighter colour , say pale blue on white, I think it would suit her colouring beautifully. Lyra
Charlene looks great in this subdued yet interesting plaid dress. I noticed the way the print of the pattern was placed in a way to create an illusion of pleats or darts in the front of the skirt. It might be they are real darts but I can't tell for sure. The bodice also looks like there is an overlap of fabric near the shoulders that is unique.
ReplyDeleteUntil I read the designer,I thought it might have been ES or AMcQ. I was not expecting Beulah.
ReplyDeleteThe dress sits perfectly on PC. Nicely accessorised nude pumps.
I like the pearl stud earrings matching up with the pearl buttons on the dress.
Lowri.
What is ES AMcQ PC?
DeleteI can't get rid of thinking of a tablecloth. I don't like the pattern, maybe different colours could help because I also don't enjoy the colour composition. So one of the rare occasions that I profoundly dislike what Charlene wears.
ReplyDeleteToujours très élégante dans l originalité

Agree.
DeleteThe cut and style of this dress looks wonderful on Charlene, with the shoulder detail and a-line skirt. The check pattern is not overly vivid and is quite pretty.

She looks very good in this particular style, hides well the slightly unbalanced width of her shoulders. My first reaction was “oh, she’s wearing Ralph Lauren” bc of the print (he has hundreds of garments with this - or very similar- pattern).
ReplyDeleteIt is however Beulah - regardless, looks very nice on her
Well said, agree.
DeleteI thought most ladies would love to have wide shoulders, but with Princess Charlene it is often looked at as a flaw, unbalanced or as a disadvantage. Regardless as you said she looks lovely!
DeleteWhy would "most ladies love to have wide shoulders"...?
DeletePrincess Charlene does not have unbalanced wide shoulders. She is an athlete everybody knows. I never felt it was a disadvantage for her mostly beautiful outfits.
DeleteSwimmers have wider shoulders than any high performance athlete. Do a Google search. The disadvantage is that their body looks like an inverted trapeze. Wide shoulders make most women look bulky, without necessarily being true for the rest of their body. Most women in this situation attempt to adjust their sartorial choices to minimize the impact.
Delete@2:56 I do not think that a woman with very wide shoulders is disadvantaged. An inverted trapeze is a tough assessment on an amazing body that has trained so hard. This is simply one of the many different shapes we see in the wonderful array of 4 billion women, who come in so many different shapes and sizes and variation. I don’t agree that swimmers look bulky. They look like women.
DeleteI love the design of this dress very much and Charlene wears it perfectly. Almost like it was made for her.

I like this. A bit different from Princess Charlene's usual style but perfect length and nice detailing
ReplyDeleteBeautiful look for Princess Charlene - classy and elegant.
ReplyDeleteJ’aime beaucoup ce modèle de robe ; j’aurais bien voulu voir de jolis escarpins blancs pour accentuer son allure estivale !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress that suits and fits well. Very nice design and very well executed. All the check align perfectly in every seam.
ReplyDeleteThe dress fits well, but I do not like the print. It is not very summery, more a dress to wear on a beautiful day (indian summer) in september or begin october.
ReplyDeleteIndian summer = only november, not before.
Delete13:25 no, it depends on your climate. For you perhaps November, for the commenter September / October… for me, September.

DeleteI agree. In November sometimes it is freezing and snows already. However now with the climate change it might be much warmer. In my country the weather forecasts are talking already about a soft winter 2026-27.
L'été indien n'a absolument rien à voir avec la météo et la chaleur, il est appelé ainsi à cause des couleurs des feuillages rouges, jaunes, dorés, ocres, comme les plumes des indiens (donc en novembre dans certains pays, particulièrement au Canada). Lisez la définition sur Google. En septembre les feuillages sont encore verts et ce n'est pas l'été indien, c'est simplement le début de l'automne.
Delete13:44 it’s different in different places. For us it’s about temperature and a late warm period after autumn has already set in. It’s ok to have multiple different definitions! The world is big…
DeleteBeautiful dress on a beatiful woman. Would love to possess the dress.
ReplyDeleteI am not keen on the pattern or colour, although it fits well. I admire the workmanship, the perfect alignment of the lines in the construction.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfectly elegant summer dress. The fit is excellent and the pattern is interesting without being odd.
ReplyDeleteC'est peut-être une robe agréable à porter (c'est du coton) mais ce genre de motif me fait penser à du tweed donc je le trouve plutôt bizarre et décalé en cette saison.
ReplyDeleteC'est une robe très classique, différente du style habituel de la princesse. Paloma.
