The Prince and Princess of Monaco's Wedding: The Bride and her Evening Party

Another two-gown affair! Can't complain about that!
For the evening festivities, Giorgio Armani Privé once again swathed the bride in white embellished with crystals and stones, this time off-white silk chiffon with Swarovski crystals and gold and platinum-colored stones. The dress featured a transparent upper portion and a four-tiered skirt. Oh yeah, and Albert also had a wardrobe change.
She also wore a new jewel in her hair, this one a gift from Albert (one of two she received, the other one you can see here and which is the Ocean convertible necklace and tiara from Van Cleef & Arpels). This piece is called the Diamond Foam Tiara, and you can read more about it here.

Naturally, Charlene's maid of honor Isabell Kristensen and witness Donatella Knecht de Massy stuck around for the evening party:
Isabell, I see, has managed to look just as tightly bound as she was for the civil ceremony! (She's a fashion designer, for what it's worth.)

And the Wittstocks made another dashing appearance as well, here for your viewing pleasure:
