It wouldn't be a big event in Monaco unless there was a dose of sartorial confusion, and so it was with National Day. Fruitless though it may be, I have some questions for these kids...forget the awards, let's get some answers.
First, the morning events, including the Te Deum.
What sort of hat trend are you trying to start, exactly?
Princess Charlene
What's up with the pleated ruffle thingies?
Princess Caroline
Why are you wearing a scrunchie?
Princess Stephanie
Why is your hat so fabulous?
Charlotte Casiraghi
Whatcha doin' there?
Hans-Adam II
And then, the evening gala.
Why'd you take your coat thing off?
Princess Charlene
That's where all the fabulous was, I'm just saying. I mean, leave the gloves on at least. Hard to go wrong when opera gloves are involved.
Why don't you just wear tiaras already?
Princess Caroline and Everyone
Seriously, the dress code's been upped to include sashes since Charlene just had hers awarded (sub question: why is she wearing the wider male version?), and Caroline has jewels in her hair anyway. So. Close.
I have so many more questions (Andrea, are you grooming yourself in the wild again?) but eh, you know what, I withdraw them all. This is Monaco - just when you think you've got it figured out, they'll prove you wrong.
Any sartorial highlights here for you?
