Charlene Wittstock Steps Out In Strapless Jumpsuit (PHOTOS, POLL)

After going casual to a charity fundraising breakfast on Friday morning, future Princess of Monaco Charlene Wittstock amped up the glam factor for the launch of the "Nelson Mandela Intimate Moments Exhibition" in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, on Friday night.

She stepped out in a strapless, black jumpsuit with gold detailing and cutouts at the waist. And although we're not too sure about her choice of footwear, we're giving her a pass because otherwise, she looks stunning. What say you?

This reminds me of Studio 54 circa 1978.......retro, but not horrendous....a sleeveless v would look better on her body type..the shoes look cheap...(Ha..they are prob Manolo..lol)

Her head is way too small for her body.

She needs to work with her hair, accessorize and stay away from strapless dresses. If she's going to be a princess then she should get some professional advice to enhance her natural beauty instead of detracting from it. She has wonderful strong shoulders but if she is not putting her outfits and look together well, she appears masculine and she is not. She has a lovely feminine face.

I voted for her before paying attention to her shoes. Payless Shoe Source?

To all you naysayers, I think her broad shoulders are an attribute. As a woman who swam a lot too, I developed broad shoulders. When you're tall and thin (as she is), I think it's a terrific look. I prefer it to the willowy, waif look.

It's a great look but like anything else you have to know how to dress to complement your assets. I don't see that in this picture, at all. As lovely as her shoulders are when you look at her in this particular picture that is all you see...... extremely broad shoulders. Her natural beauty is less noticed because she is not dressed correctly for her frame nor is she accessorized properly. She looks too plain, her head looks extra small given the way her hair is styled and her shoulders look gigantic. Surely there is more to her than her shoulders and that is not being noticed, as it should be. She looked so much more beautiful in the causal pictures posted of her the other day as her entire was better chosen to suit her frame.

I agree. She's beautiful and I certainly applaud healthy, athletic women, but her head looks almost shrunken on top of her shoulders. She needs to balance it out a bit more or something.

Beautiful woman, beautiful outfit, beautiful hair, beautiful shoes. No complaints!

Flats because she is tall. Taller...

You could cut a steak with her shoulder and chest bones. Her hair needs to be softer and she needs sleeves or some detail to distract from those shoulders. Beautiful outfit though.

Perfect Summer resort wear, perfect for the venue, and the occasion.

Beautiful.

She's a stunning woman, but, she really needed a different, softer hairdo and possibly a necklace to complete the look. As it is, she looks as though she was photographed before she finished dressing. Also from her body language she looks uncomfortable and she is not "owning" the severe supermodel look. Different hair and jewelry might have made her seem a little more comfortable and the whole thing a little more complete.

Excellent observation, totally agree.

fabulous pictures. she has had some really good moments and her last picture at the royal wedding gently hid her shoulders

She often wears her hair in a very severe style. She needs to soften that look. It detracts from her beauty. Agreed she had some lovely pictures and some not as much.

She is almost as striking as Price Albert mother was. Grace Kelly ( Princess Gracia Patricia ) was so beautiful.
