Words fail me. What do you think about her half shaved head?

LauraNorder Wed 16-Dec-20 22:29:05

Her eye makeup is lovely

I was beyond shocked when I first saw her pic. Whatever has possessed her ?
Unless she's got her late mother's genes because Grace suffered some sort of problems and became the black sheep of the family as her father had disagreed with the future that she was taking in the film industry.

No worries Lisagran ?

lemongrove Wed 16-Dec-20 22:36:52

I think it’s a ghastly style, what’s even remotely lovely about it? Half Yul Brynner and half Robert Peston.
Never heard of her either.?

merlotgran Wed 16-Dec-20 22:42:16

I wish mine had fully recovered. My left side is still longer than the right and there's still a chunk missing over my right ear.

What really makes me cross is that people think I tried to cut it myself with disastrous result. I actually paid for somebody to butcher my locks. angry

I have been sorely tempted to do a Princess Charlene ever since.

My post was to Callistemon

merlot that’ll teach you to ask the gardener to do it then?

SueDonim Wed 16-Dec-20 22:47:16

It looks as if her head was shaved for an operation, or that maybe she is suffering from hair loss.

A friend of mine has indeed had half her head shaved for an operation on a brain tumour. Is she supposed to hide away until it’s regrown in case people think it’s just a horrible fashion? hmm

The gardener laughed his head off when he saw it. hmm

I doubt she would like the honey coloured bob or short grey hair that a lot of grans have.

I am the honey coloured bob.

AmberSpyglass Wed 16-Dec-20 23:27:07

I love it - the half shaved look is very in among young people at the moment. It’s dramatic, but fun. And it’s only hair, it always grows back!

Why would she?
She’s 42.

Blossoming Wed 16-Dec-20 23:31:18

I was the honey coloured bob too, I’m now the wild grey/honey streaked ringlets pinned into an updo grin

To be fair, the twins always look immaculately turned out, true to Monégasque tradition.

AmberSpyglass Wed 16-Dec-20 23:35:45

It’s what’s called a side-shave - looks like it’s probably quite easy to cover up, so best of both worlds!

I think she's a beauty. She's always very stylish. I don't know how people can say they've never heard of her. If you keep up with the news, you will have come across her. You don't have to follow Royalty to know of her.

Especially if you follow the Grand Prix at Monaco too! grin
Sadly not this year.

That fashion has been around for eons. Well it has in Brighton. Nothing particularly special about it.

But whatever floats your boat.

It brings variety and colour into the world.

BlueSky Thu 17-Dec-20 09:00:11

She might try to show how restricted her life at court has become and it’s the only way she can show rebellion. Or she might just like the style!

honeyrose Thu 17-Dec-20 09:06:52

I don’t like it. It’s a bit of a rebellion haircut.

petra Thu 17-Dec-20 09:17:01

I'm still puzzled why the op put the heading Princess Stephanie.

Nezumi65 Thu 17-Dec-20 09:28:00

Blimey is that all? It seems quite a popular cut around here. I have a friend with something similar, probably not cut quite so high.

HeyHo Thu 17-Dec-20 22:23:38

Nollick Ghennal to you Ellen Vannnin!

Callistemon Thu 17-Dec-20 22:30:56

Copycat fashion.

She may look back in a few years' time and shudder when she sees photos of herself with a half-shaved head.

ginny Thu 17-Dec-20 22:32:38

I think most of us have got photos like that !
