Countess of Paris
The stunning countess is not doing herself any favors in too much of this unflattering metallic. This "space suit" ensemble doesn't do anything for her coloring. The skirt hem is in nowheresville. Those shoes are too casual and flat. Her hose is too sheeny. Her bag is too matchy. She's even wearing silver eye shadow. Then to top it off with a black beret at a royal wedding... Why? (The countess is shown here at the wedding of Prince Jean of France and Philomena de Tornos, May 2, 2009.)
