Today marks the most notable date on the Grimaldi calendar, the National Day of Monaco. Year after year, the family gathers in full for a day packed with events, starting with the traditional religious service at Saint Nicholas Cathedral, led by Prince Albert II, his wife Charlene, and his sisters Caroline and Stéphanie.
Alongside the princes, their children also try to make time to attend, and Charlotte Casiraghi is always one of the most anticipated attendees. This year, she once again stood out as one of the best-dressed, wearing an ensemble that combines timeless elegance with chic touches.
Faithful to her long-standing relationship with Chanel, she once again entrusted the iconic Parisian maison, wearing a signature set featuring a cropped jacket and pencil skirt in tweed.
Charlotte has worn this woolen fabric countless times, a material both sophisticated and durable, popularized by Coco Chanel a century ago and later reinvented by Karl Lagerfeld during his tenure.
The daughter of Princess Caroline adores this type of ensemble, famously worn by her grandmother, Grace Kelly. While the look may seem familiar, she had never before opted for a yellow suit. Past Chanel jackets in her wardrobe include pink, cream, black, and white, but never this vibrant hue.
She completed the outfit with semi-sheer black tights, a trend resurfacing this season, and classic heels with an ankle strap, elongating the legs. Naturally, she paired it with a Chanel bag, a quilted piece with a structured silhouette and chain handle.
In 2021, Spanish actress Penélope Cruz, also a Chanel ambassador and devoted fan of jacket-and-skirt sets, wore a yellow tweed ensemble for a television interview. Her ensemble featured a mini-length design, and like Charlotte, she paired it with black accessories, in her case, ankle-strap high heels.
Why are her accessories so surprising?
Charlotte rarely wears earrings. This minimalism has become one of the hallmarks of her style. Recently, FASHION analyzed this phenomenon, with fashion psychologist Ángela Parra explaining what it reveals about Charlotte’s personality.
“The absence of this accessory isn’t about austerity but intention. She favors a presence that doesn’t compete or demand attention. Her style doesn’t aim to shock with a single detail but embodies complete coherence. She understands that excess creates noise, too much decoration dilutes the essence. Her choice is minimal so that what matters stands out.”
However, today she broke from her minimalist image, surprising not only with her yellow ensemble but also with bold statement earrings. She wore gold, oversized star-shaped pieces that stole the show. Perfect for special occasions or for elevating everyday looks.
For her beauty look, she embraced natural elegance as always, wearing her brown hair down with a side part, tucking it behind her right ear to showcase her striking jewelry.
