Princess Charlene of Monaco is making headlines with her latest fashion moment. She appeared at the fourth edition of the Princess of Monaco Cup, held at the Monte-Carlo Golf Club, alongside Prince Albert, to preside over this charity tournament that brings together athletes and celebrities in support of educational projects backed by her foundation.
Far from the usual sporty expectations, Charlene turned heads in an all-white outfit, complete with a bridal-inspired look and a bouquet in hand, becoming the most talked-about topic of the day.
The dress she chose was a sleeveless embroidered tulle midi dress by Elie Saab, featuring a round neckline and delicate floral embroidery, reminiscent of the romantic elegance of 1950s Italian cinema. The fitted silhouette and scalloped hemline enhanced the femininity of the design, while the silk belt added an extra touch of sophistication.
She paired it with Jimmy Choo's Amita 85 patent leather pumps in a latte shade. The 85mm heels featured a V-shaped top and a fine elastic strap adorned with pearls, offering a subtle, contemporary twist that perfectly balanced the overall look.
Following the tournament, which featured teams of celebrities and athletes, the event continued in Monte Carlo’s Casino Square with the traditional 19th hole.
During the evening, a tribute was paid to former Formula 1 driver Eddie Jordan, who recently passed away. A Scottish band added solemnity and character to the occasion. Charlene, posing alongside Prince Albert and surrounded by friends and participants, once again stole the spotlight.
This isn’t the first time Charlene has chosen white in recent months. Just a few weeks ago, at the Pique Nique Monégasque, she wore a white lace dress, reinforcing what now seems to be her new style code, described as soft, with serene colors that convey simplicity and modern-day romanticism.
This preference for light tones also ties into Monégasque tradition, where white has long symbolized elegance and significance, from Grace Kelly’s iconic appearances to the summer wardrobes of Princess Caroline and Princess Stéphanie.
The Princess of Monaco Cup, whose proceeds go toward the educational initiatives of Charlene’s foundation, has become not only a charitable event but also a fashion moment. Charlene has mastered the balance between sporty sobriety and royal elegance, solidifying her personal style, known as sophisticated, understated, and always surprising, even in the most unexpected settings.
