When you're marrying the son of Grace Kelly, one of the most iconic brides of all times, choosing a wedding dress has got to be a stressful event. I think Charlene Wittstock did very well with her Armani gown, which managed to be both simple and heavily worked at the same time. The South African wore the off-the-shoulder gown during the religious ceremony that turned her into Princess Charlene.
I like the fact that Charlene was able to find a bridal style that is quite her own and seperate from Princess Grace (if she had shown up in a Kate Middleton-esque gown it would have been terrible, I think). I also loved the piece in her hair and Charlene, obviously, has one of those bodies that flatters just about anything. That said, I don't think I'm the only one who thinks something seems off about this couple.
I don't like to judge but they just seem so...ackward. And then there's that whole story of Charlene trying to flee just days before the wedding and having her passport confiscated at the airport. Who knows what's true, but hopefully they'll be happy together. Here are some more photos from the Monaco royal wedding:
Princess Caroline and Princess Stephanie were on hand to support their brother along with their children, including Charlotte Casiraghi, who also sported an off-the-shoulder ensemble.

It seems a lot of the royal guests seemed a bit...frumpy and boring.
What did you think of the outfits and Charlene's bridal look?
