Princess Charlene in white Akris at the Oscars: miserable and escape-proof?

OMG. OMG!!! I just got around to looking at photos of Princess Charlene and Prince Albert on the Oscars red carpet, and I cannot even believe what I’m seeing. Was Charlene actually CRYING on the red carpet? Dear God. That’s what it looks like, right? Anyway, as I predicted, Charlene and Albert made an appearance at the Oscars. They weren’t there to present anything. They weren’t hawking anything. They just wanted to watch the show and hang out, it seems. When they were interviewed on the red carpet – as personal guests of Bob Iger (the president of Disney), Albert spoke about how this was his first time at the Oscars:

Albert: “It’s an incredible experience, we’re thrilled to be here. I cannot thank Bob Iger and Willow enough for their kind invitation… It’s impossible not to think of my mother at this point. It’s the 30th anniversary of her passing. We’re looking forward to sharing this evening with everybody and of course keeping her well into her minds and our hearts.”

Bob Iger explains how he knows the royals: “In my Wide World of Sports Days we covered the Grand Prix of Monaco many times. We met very early on. He visited me in my offices in NY in the eary 90s when I was President of ABC, we’ve stayed in touch since. I’ve had the pleasure of visiting the Prince of Monaco many times over the years, although not lately… I value this relationship.”

Anyway… Charlene wore Akris. It makes her look pregnant, right? I hope she’s pregnant. The sooner she’s knocked up, the sooner she can make her escape. I don’t get her hair, or her makeup, or her whole “Seriously, I’m CRYING on the red carpet, that’s how miserable I am” face. Poor Charlene.

    1. she is f-ing obnoxiuos
    2. WTF is she wearing?

    • anytime says:

      1. she srsly looks like the walking dead so please let’s not use curse words while speaking in regards of the deceased
      2. the nearest curtain she could find, apparently

    • Kara Ann says:

      Agree with both posts above and Seriously, this woman has the worst case of Sadface that I have ever seen. She makes me want to cry just looking at her.

      • gg says:

        She reminds me SO MUCH of sourface Beckham, I can’t get away from it. Also looks like her cheeks are overfilled/implanted, which limits the smile at the sides.

    • polk8dot says:

      Holy crap! I just looked at her pics from the 23 Nov post, and she now looks 10-15 year older!!!
      Also, she put on some weight, which in itself is completely OK, but she has swimmer’s shoulders, and with weight gain her upper arms look huge (all flabby and pasty, too, since the heavy exercise regimen ended). Few more pounds and she’s going to look much bigger than him.
      Again, nothing wrong with the weight gain. She does not have to be a size 0. But, if that’s the case, pay attention and notice the areas that lost their appeal, and need to be now covered up. Her whole upper body looks so weird, almost contorted, like she’s inflating from within.
      I have nothing bad to say about her, never heard of her before the wedding, but it is clear that the woman is going through some major trauma. Her face keeps changing, her features are washing off/melting, her hair looks horrid. When you have so much dark roots, DO NOT wear an updo. Plus, I think the naked forehead is too severe for her. In Nov she had bangs, and looked much prettier and younger. Most of all, though – get a stylist! That dress was HORRIBLE! The color washed her out, the shape did nothing for her physique – actually turned her into a sad menopausal matron. What a shame; she used to be so fresh and pretty looking. And the troll hanging on her arm does not help…

      • DrM says:

        As someone going through the menopause I really take issue with using it to insult women’s appearance. I look better now than I did twenty years ago, am happier, more self-assured and my sex life is MUCH better. And only going to become more so now that pregnancy is no longer an issue…and you know what? If you are female you are going to go through it too…

  2. Ravensdaughter says:

    What a boring dress, and her hair looks granny styled.
    My God, I completely forgot that he’s Grace Kelly’s son-really! What happened with the gene pool there?

    • paola says:

      all the good genes have gone to his niece Charlotte. Nothing left in poor Albert..

    • brin says:

      Looks like Caroline got all the good genes.

      • Hypocricy says:

        Caroline and especially her daughter Charlotte looks exactly like her late paternal grandmother Princess Charlotte, Duchess of Valentinois.

        Princess Grace has nothing to do with it. Actually while young, Albert was the one who looks the most like his mother. Caroline is 100 % Grimaldi so is Charlotte. They are both the spitting image of late Prince Rainier’s mother whose name was ironically also : Charlotte.

  3. normades says:

    Forget what I said about Shailene Woodley, Sad Princess was the worst dressed lady of the evening.

    She could be knocked up, but that’s no excuss for this ugly ensemble.

    • WOM says:

      HAHA! Sad Princess is SAD. Sad Princess always brings THE SAD. Sad Princess looks like Anna Faris’ sad older sister.

  4. brin says:

    She looks traumatized. Maybe she’s doing a little SOS with her eye movement for the camera.

  5. marge says:

    she looks really old

  6. MsGoblin says:

    Poor girl’s not going to remember a thing about the Oscars….

    So stoned.

  7. TruthTella says:

    WTF… She needs to get a stylist, she pics simple clothes which should work but they don’t suit her body shape most times.
    Also she needs to stop messing with her face, at this point we wouldn’t know if she’s even able to cry…
    Even though it’s kind of tacky for Royalty to attend the Oscars (for some reason) and if Kate would have she would have got a lot of stick i know she’d have come up with a better outfit than this…

  8. hateonit. says:

    dont her cheeks look weird? or am I bugging out?

    • QQ says:

      I wa coming to ask that?! Is that surgery all up Her Serene Highness of Sad Foiled Escapes and Empty Wombs?!

      I still dont get why Albert had to marry when is clear they are miserable, this is a trainwreck and there were already constitutional amendmends in place for his perpetual single man whoreness and cockblocking the bunch o illegitimate kids he has… So what gives?

      • ClumsyMe says:

        There are measures that prevent the illegitimate children from getting to the throne. However if he doesn’t provide a legitimate heir to the throne, the throne is passed on to his sister and her children.

    • Lenore says:

      I agree, something weird going on there – not so much the cheeks themselves, but the way she seems unable to unbunch them. “I’m not smiling, I’m so goddamn miserable, but I cannot unclench my face!”

      She really does look off. Maybe she had major dental surgery and is just barely keeping it together?

      Love the dress, though, I must say.

    • Azurea says:

      They do look weird, as if she’s in pain from the inside-out. Maybe she had her wisdom teeth out recently…that would explain the puffiness and what looks like such a painful smile. She does look on the edge of a breakdown, doesn’t she? While he was talking she seemed like she just wanted to disappear through the floor.

  9. TheOriginalVictoria says:

    LMAO @ Sad Princess. Priceless.

    But I’m going to say what I said on the Open Post thread:

    What the hell were they doing there? Why the hell did they invite themselves to an event that has nothing to do with them? It’s been thirty years since his mom died, okay! And? Did they do a tribute? No. Grace Kelly only did six to nine films and she was overrated (like she beat out JUDY GARLAND’S ESTHER BLOTCHETT or DOROTHY DANDRIDGE’S CARMEN? Seriously?) so beyond her looks and cashing in on a principality, I again ask, what the hell were they doing there?

    They are so trashy. And if Kate showed up to the Academy Awards, you would hear all kinds of smack.

    • RdyfrmycloseupmrDvlle says:

      Totally agree with you about Albert and his piece attending the oscars. HOWEVER, just GOTTA say…in no way, shape, or form is Grace Kelly over rated. Sorry. She had real talent and the type of class that just doesnt exist anymore. Many women in HWd are over rated…Grace isent one of them.

  10. Julie says:

    No, I noticed it too, the mouth and cheeks, something going on weird in all pics except bottom one. She looks like she’s high; pills maybe???

  11. Dani says:

    She used to be so beautiful but it looks as though she has aged five years in the last 6-9 months. Poor Charlene!

  12. Aiobhan says:

    That is a bad dress on an obviously unhappy woman.

  13. Asli says:

    This seems so… low class for ROYALS! I mean, it’s the Oscars. Why?!?! I see what he means about his moms passing but I don’t get this. It’s very Paris Hilton-ish. If Kate was there people would… who am I kidding, she would never go. Kate isn’t that trashy (and I don’t even like her.)

    • LAK says:

      for me it was the walking the red carpet bit that did my head in. If they must go to the oscars, they could have arrived discreetly, skipped the carpet, infact skip the ceremony and go straight to Governor’s ball etc like Michelle Obama.

      THIS was very tacky of them.

      EDIT: only redeeming thing is she’s dressed quite demure and not Bling which get her a smidgeon of a pass.

  14. chloew says:

    yikes, where to begin here….her face is just weird looking, i’m sorry, the structure is bizarre, like maybe there’s a genetic disorder going on there.

    she looks like a man – her shoulder width is MASSIVE

    and lovely cotton candy hair!

    • LAK says:

      She was an olympic swimmer. swimmers in general develop huge upper bodies and shoulders.

      I don’t know what her sroke was, but i have seen it with Butterfly swimmers

  15. wuuuut!! says:

    I’m so glad he let his pricess get out to get some fresh air,but look how chain she was to his hand ,just in case she run away?

  16. Madrid says:

    I feel no pity for her whatsoever, if she´s sad, just get a divorce and star over, she got married very aware of every circumstance.
    Hair is nice

  17. GoodCapon says:

    She should’ve gone for a vibrant color; she almost always goes for neutral colors. This was the one time where she had the opportunity to be extra glamorous and make a splash but damn she failed.

  18. Eleonor says:

    She looks WORST than a sleepless Victoria Beckham.

  19. Anne de Vries says:

    Man, she looks like she really wants to hide in a corner and cry hysterically. Makes me wish for that escape plot you guys were talking about. Quick, get her into an unmarked car and whisk her away!

  20. Cathy says:

    I don’t know, I kind of like the dress. I think it looks good on her. She definately didn’t look happy to be there. You’re right Kaiser, she looks like she’s about ready to bust out in tears. But the question is are they happy tears or sad tears?

  21. Petunia says:

    My heart goes out to her. Even IF she wasn’t pushed/pressured/threatened into marrying him at the very end, she obviously looks miserable during what should be the happiest years of her marriage. I guess it’s an example of “be careful of what you wish for.” I hope she ISN’T pregnant and can escape. Who would want to abandon a child to him?

    And HOW can she look at/sleep with him? If he was a kind, gentle, loving man, that would override the looks. But he isn’t. He’s completely UGH. Gives me goosebumps he’s so ugly and mean looking.

  22. Laura says:

    I really hope she’s NOT pregnant and never gets pregnant by this guy. No woman should stay in an unhappy marriage and provide a child just because she is “required” to. It sends out a disgusting message. He wasn’t able to keep his pants in his trousers yet he isn’t punished for it, she is, and so is the potential child. She sends out a terrible message to women IMO

  23. Kimbob says:

    Her face is all kinds of messed up. Her left cheek area looks swollen, to me. If this crap is the result of tweaking & plastic surgery…I’m turned off forever.

    Sidenote: She looks more masculine than he does.

  24. Kim says:

    Worst dressed of the evening. Why does she always wear the turtleneck style? She has a great, long neck and should show it. She looks terrible in this high neck style & he is just fugly.

  25. JudyJudyJudy says:

    body language – she dragged him along that carpet and just wouldn’t let him stop and talk several times. She is in charge and any stupid idea that she is some kind of victim is misplaced.

  26. kibbles says:

    These two must be desperate for some good PR! Why are they even at the Oscars? I read a comment on the last post about Albert and Charlene that Monaco is in financial trouble. Maybe this is their way to mix in with the celeb crowd and get more rich and famous people to visit Monaco while at the same time showing the public that they are a happy couple. If this is the case they have failed big time. Sadly, no one seems to care that they are there. They simply don’t have the star power of Wills and Kate or anyone of the British royal family for that matter. Charlene always looks miserable. That hasn’t changed since the day they were married. Oh well. Charlene needs to get pregnant, give Albert an heir or two, and get a divorce. She doesn’t seem to have as much will power as Duchess Kate to hang in there for a lifetime.

  27. dorothy says:

    All that money and she picked that dress. And what’s up with the Elvis pouf-hair? Get a stylist honey.

  28. Sachi says:

    It’s so sad looking at her at this point. She always looks out of depth, constipated, or in pain whenever she’s out and about.

    Her face is really just tragic. All the plastic surgery has messed up what used to be her natural good looks. She was pretty before all the tweaking. Now she looks freaky and cartoonish.

    There’s a site called “Royal Opinions” where they have photos of Charlene before and after all her plastic surgeries. The differences are huge, and she has been looking worse and worse the more she tweaks her face.

    The dress is too dull for the Oscars. I’ve seen her wear better dresses. Why does she seem to have dropped Armani in favor of Akris? Akris’ designs are mostly beige and matronly. Armani, on the other hand, knows how to dress women to suit their body shapes and sizes.

  29. HoustonGrl says:

    OMG I am disturbed by these photos. From the looks of it, it’s plastic surgery gone wrong and she can no longer smile as a result.

  30. Elizabeth says:

    Walking the red carpet just seems like a down market move for royalty. Its not classy and its not common – just awkwardly somewhere in between.

  31. Dredz says:

    She should have worn a spectacularly glamorous dress. This is the Oscars for God’s sake! And they’re royalty, so show the public they’re way above actors/actresses. If they wanted to draw attention to Monaco, they have failed miserably because with that outfit, she just blended into the crowds.

  32. Dirty Martini says:

    I never thought I would ever say anything remotely like this, but…..

    When they were interviewing him in the pre- Oscar show…..I suddenly realized that given the choice==I’d rather hear them interview Lindsay Lohan.

    How low can it get?

  33. jferber says:

    Prince Albert is an absolute pig imprisoning this woman, if that is indeed what is happening. What’s wrong with him that he can’t get a willing bride? I know he has two illegitimate children (at least)and a Victoria’s Secret model (a Dutch model who threatened her plastic surgeon in Paris) accused him of trying to rape her. He also hooked up with an American porn star, meaning he must have slept with thousands of women. In fact, that’s all he seems to do. What in the hell was Grace Kelly thinking? I heard her family had to pay the prince a 2 million dollar dowry, too. She stupidly threw away her whole career for what?

  34. Susannah says:

    At first I was really disappointed with Charlene’s dress. I had expected one of her ballgowns. But then I saw she was dressed similar to Willow, Isen’s wife. Both women left the glamour at home. As if to say, “the Oscars are fun and everything but it’s not the biggest night of the year so I think I’ll just save my ballgown for a really special event.”

  35. Susannah says:

    As far as looking hugely uncomfortable, Charlene could be pregnant and was feeling like she was going to vomit. I don’t know, I really want to believe in a fairy tale.

  36. misstrishm says:

    He’s creepy. Princess Charlene just looks like she has ice in her veins.
