THEhe electric cars have just turned off their engines on the Monte Carlo street circuit, but the spotlights immediately come back on in the mirrors of the Salle Empire, at the Hôtel de Paris. For the closing gala of the Monaco E-Prix, Charlene of Monaco decided to archive the trouser suits and formal day looks to give those present a lesson in pure style for a grand evening. Alongside Prince Albert, the princess proved that contemporary royalty doesn’t have to be boring. The princess stole the show from the pilots and gained the attention of the international jet set.

The highlight of the evening is a jewel dress by Jenny Packhama British brand famous for being one of the undisputed pillars in Kate Middleton’s wardrobe. The model is called Wanderlust and it is a perfect balance between rigor and audacity: a fluid midnight blue skirt that goes well with a Semi-transparent tulle bodiceentirely covered in a geometric cascade of crystals, sequins and silver beads. The cape sleeves, impalpable and floating, added that touch of “Old Hollywood” style theatricality Charlene of Monaco he always wears with innate ease.

The magnetic beauty look between diamonds and silver shades
To avoid weighing down an already decidedly bright look, the choice of details went towards strategic minimalism. Few targeted jewels – diamond hoops and a white gold bangle – have left room for an unusually magnetic beauty sector. Charlene of Monaco she dared a metallic eye makeup with mirrored silver eyeshadowintensified by a line of burgundy eyeliner, balancing everything with fresh and super shiny lips. Her blonde hair, combed into a soft fake updo with a side parting, softened the geometric features of her face.
Waiting for the F1 Grand Prix
Among the tables at the gala, which brought together European high society (including Charles and Camilla of Bourbon Two Sicilies), there was nothing else talked about. This event precedes the legendary Formula 1 Grand Prix by a few weeks, and the princess was ahead of her social competition.
