How is it that Princess Charlene’s baby bangs look even worse now?!

The princely family of Monaco at the start of the 3rd edition of the "The Crossing: Calvi-Monaco Water Bike Challenge" race

Here are some photos of Monaco’s royal family at the Crossing Calvi-Monaco Water Bike Challenge in Corsica, France. Prince Albert and Princess Charlene brought out their twins, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, who seemed kind of over it, but it’s nice to see them out. They seem like real kids who are mostly bored with whatever their parents are doing. Gabriella has some French ennui too.

Anyway, I wanted to talk about these photos mostly because of Charlene’s baby bangs. We talked about the bangs tragedy a couple weeks ago, when I suddenly noticed that Charlene’s once wispy fringe had turned into a full-blown baby bangs trauma. I thought those other photos were her worst look ever, but no. If anything, THESE photos are worse. I think it’s because the rest of her hair is pulled back, and she seems to have darkened it slightly in the past few weeks? The whole look is not chic or high-end at all – she looks like a suburban mom who got wine-drunk and decided to cut her own bangs and now has to live with the consequences.

Also, it looks like this whole “water bike challenge” was a fundraiser for Charlene’s personal foundation. She might have been the one to dream it up, because she loves hanging out with hunky athletes. And she’s spent a lot of time in Corsica recently. *insert a series of side-eyes*

    I don’t think they look any worse tbh. They look the same – and I maintain that I don’t like them. Anyways, she definitely likes these water events (which is understandable as she’s a former olympic swimmer).

  2. Anna says:

    God, I have No idea what the hell is wrong with me, but I kinda like it. Need a drink or sth

  3. SamC says:

    They don’t look great, but I think in these pics she had probably just come out of the water/finished the event or didn’t do hair/makeup going into the event.

  4. Charfromdarock says:

    She looks like a Kirsten Dunst to me in those photos.

  5. Her bangs are short. Let it go and move on. 🙏😂

    I think she just has bad hair and is trying to find something that works. They you look sort of gamine on her and I bet they are cuter in person.

    Those kids! So cute, nevermind moms bangs trauma!

  8. Other Renee says:

    Why aren’t the kids wearing masks? Most of the adults are. 🤷‍♀️

    I love baby bangs and I think they look cute. But I also enjoy your hatred of them.

  10. Starkille says:

    I think they look fine, honestly. They’re a little short for my personal taste, but she seems to like them. 🤷🏻‍♀️

  11. PineNut says:

    why are they called bangs?

  12. Melissa says:

    Looks like she had been in the water and put her hair up when she got out — if that’s the case then her hair looks much better than mine would.

    If that’s not the case and just how she styled it — in a pony for an outdoor event, still appropriate. I don’t get the fringe hate.

  13. Linda says:

    I think she looks cute. I don’t get the bangs-hate. If I didn’t have bangs you could show a movie on my forehead. Like Helen Hunt. She should have bangs.

    Corsica sounds great right now beautiful island, she’s beautiful too no matter what hairstyle. Lovely bone structure, no matter how how sad the expression. I wonder what she thinks of Kate Middleton? There should be a married into royalty wives club, like ALON. Good on Harry’s great escape. Too bad it’s Trump country these days, but surely brighter times are to come.

    I think she looks hella young with those bangs, like Andi in Dawson’s Creek
