Uon Sunday of motors for Charlene of Monaco. On June 7, the princess conquered the paddock spotlight on the Monte Carlo circuit on the occasion of the 83rd edition of the Formula 1 Grand Prix. Accompanied by Prince Albert II and his son Jacques, the sovereign chose to attend the most important institutional and social event in the Principality showing off an unprecedented White jumpsuit with a fluid cut, Greek goddess style. A precise choice of minimalist style, his, designed to combine the necessary comfort in the paddock with the sophisticated elegance imposed by court protocol, obscuring with the force of simplicity the extravagances of the many international stars present at the weekend.
Charlene of Monaco Greek goddess at the Formula 1 GP
At first glance, the Princess’ outfit looked like a classic long, draped dress. In reality, Charlene opted for a very refined one wide leg jumpsuit in fluid fabric, characterized by clean lines and a particularly deep V-neck. To avoid the pajama effect and structure the figure, the silhouette was defined by a thin camel leather belt by Hermèswhich marked the waistline with discretion.
One thought of giving a decidedly contemporary imprint to the look Rigid sculptural necklace with wavy shapesa statement accessory that broke the rigor of white together with maxi dark cat-eye sunglasses. This choice of dress confirms a real style strategy inaugurated during the Formula 1 free practices, when Charlene had worn the exact same model but in a vibrant shade of red. The fluid monochrome stands out as well as the new summer uniform of the former swimmer.
The contrast with Kim Kardashian
Charlene di Monaco’s choice to focus on a studied stylistic subtraction worked above all through contrast. This year the Monte Carlo paddock saw the debut of Kim Kardashian (new companion of the driver Lewis Hamilton), who attracted the attention of photographers with decidedly more eccentric and structured outfits.
Faced with looks designed to amaze celebrities, the royal family responded with the typical Grimaldi understatement. If the Prince Albert II maintained a classic institutional profile with a navy blue blazer, white shirt and patterned tie, his wife demonstrated how true luxury lies in the balance of details, transforming a motor show into an old-time class lesson.
The little prince Jacques testimonial for a noble cause
If Charlene dominated on the style front, her son Jacques, 11 years oldwon over the public with an unusual role of great human depth. The very young heir to the throne showed off a decidedly relaxed look: slightly oversized blue jacketwhite polo shirt with open collar, jeans and sunglasses matching those of his mother.
Jacques did not limit himself to observing the cars, but took to the track together with his father and the starred chef Yannick Alléno as testimonial of theAntoine Alléno Associationthe non-profit organization created to support young road victims and their families. The little prince actively participated in the signing session on a unique collector’s item: a exceptional helmet covered in pure goldsubsequently sold at the “Formula One For Life” charity auction for the impressive sum of 85,000 euros. An official debut of solidarity which ended with a special prize for the child, who was allowed to climb aboard the cockpit of the Laffite LM1, a 1,000 horsepower supercar inspired by the Le Mans prototypes.
