Charlene Wittstock Takes Ireland In A Tailcoat, One-Shouldered Gown (PHOTOS, POLL)

One of our favorite royals-to-be, Charlene Wittstock, stepped out at Aras an Uachtarain in Dublin, Ireland on Monday along with her fiance Prince Albert II Of Monaco and Irish President Mary McAleese and her husband Martin.

And it appears that Char (can we call you that?) brought back the tailcoat -- wearing a black number we'd love to borrow over an oatmeal-colored pantsuit. She accessorized with an embellished and tasseled clutch.

In the evening, she donned a slate gray, one-shouldered gown to attend a State Dinner at President McAleese's residence.

Take a look and tell us what you think.

He dress fits super; but she needs some jewel either on her dress or around her neck. She is just so plain looking

How old is Charlene? Also, someone aught to teach her she aught to be nice to everybody - not just the upperclass.

She needs to match her personality to her stunning looks, recently when she was in Naples Florida, he husband to be, the prince was a perfect gentlemen to all - guests and help alike, Char, on the other hand was a witch with the help, and charming on to the most important people in the room. Not a good way to behave for a princess - you need the common touch, not just to be a commoner.

Not classy at all -- thanks because she is physically beautiful.

Aw, really? That's disappointing to hear. :(

She looks really gorgeous! Both the daytime and night looks look very classy and elegant! And the grey color in gown is so unexpected, usually you see black or blues for dinner gowns!! Love her clutch and jewelery too!!!

She looks really great!

Hasn't anyone noticed how poorly the prince has aged? Downright dowdy...

He didn't get it from his mother. His father was an unattractive, creepy guy who cheated on Grace throughout their marriage

I think both looks are great. However, am I the only one who thinks this lady is built like a linebacker?

[Try the truth]

08:28 PM on 04/04/2011

Yes, you are.

[NevaforLeadership]

08:52 PM on 04/04/2011

Built like a linebacker?

She is very slim and tall. Used to be a swimmer.

[maliksmama]

She has very broad shoulders which makes her head look small in comparison to the rest of her body. I'm not saying she isn't attractive. She is. She just look dude-ish from the neck down.

HOLY! She's hot!

That gown was insanely scorching. She's just a beauty.

Lovely little minaudieres. Need a better picture of that engagement rock, though!

Monaco sure attracts all the hotties (note Grace Kelly)

Not all women can pull off wearing gray but she certainly can! Perfect coloring and a blonde sure makes any gray/silver sparkle!

A cool beauty. I think she looks much better in the one-shouldered look, versus strapless.

[nancynancy]

I agree. The diagonal line of a one shoulder dress redirects the eye away from Charlene's extremely broad shoulders. Charlene if you're reading this, please stop wearing strapless dresses because they're absolutely the worst look for you.
