Absolutely gorgeous suit ^
I had a giggle when I read your comments about her salmon frock, as I had read this earlier:-
.......And since we've long waxed ambivalent about Charlene's sartorial tastes (she favors tan and black instead of color), we were totally stoked to see her dressed to the nines for the opening. Are those... sparkles? Yes!
They're sparkly, and they're actually Swarovski crystals: Costume designer Johanna Johnson spent hours with the princess to custom design the spangled pink frock, which Charlene paired with blinged-out strappy heels.
We're also loving Charlene's casual hairstyle, especially because this is the first time we can recall seeing her with her hair down, which really highlights her bangs and her smoky eye makeup.......

It was a much more relaxed princess, a former Olympic swimmer for her native South Africa, who caught up with old friends at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre on Friday. The last time Charlene visited the centre was in 2002 - as Charlene Wittstock - when she won a gold medal for the 100 metres backstroke in the World Cup for South Africa
