Goodness. Look how utterly radient and sexy and beautiful Her Serene Highness Princess Charlene of Monaco looked sometime last week as she attended the Louis Vuitton store event in Paris during couture week. LV obviously suits her and the navy blue spangle was brilliant. This is the girl from Benoni that we know and love.

And then, in altogether another shade of blue LV, she stepped out in this in Germany on Monday. Seriously. Trouser legs too short. A weird wrap. In turquoise. And this is the second time she has worn this monstrosity. How is this the same person?

She redeemed herself somewhat later that day when she donned her very lovely and flattering gold Akris gown for the meet and greet photo op.

It's a pity then that the German lady stepped on her train. Was it because they turned up in the same shade of gold? Ha! Probably not, but I like that onse Charlene handled the whole thing with grace and humour and dignity.

And then she stepped out yesterday in khaki. I like a khaki shirt dress. And this is no exception. It is stylish and the shoe choice is good. I just HATE sunglasses on top of heads (like you have somewhere better to be). I know. Cosmo hairband. But no. Put them away. It's just good manners. And as we discussed yesterday, manner equal style. And a princess should know better.
