After the Formula 1 Grand Prix and its iconic tennis tournament, the Principality picks up its sports calendar with another top-tier event. Every summer, Port Hercules in Monte Carlo transforms into a unique seaside racetrack where some of the world’s best riders and horses compete in the Longines Jumping International. As expected, Princess Caroline of Monaco and her daughters Charlotte and Alexandra were there, elegant as ever and each showcasing her own signature style.
Princess Caroline of Monaco and her daughters reunite at Monte Carlo’s equestrian event
Caroline seized the chance to don a dress she had recently worn on her trip to Cuba. The short-sleeved design features a bold batik-style print, notch collar, and front fastening with mother-of-pearl buttons. Called the Roxana Batik Diamond, the dress is by Muzungu Sisters, a brand co-founded by Tatiana Santo Domingo, wife of Andrea Casiraghi.

She first wore it in May of this year, during her trip to Cuba, where she accompanied the Monte Carlo Ballet for the premiere of Core Meu at the National Theatre of Havana.

In Monte Carlo, she chose a much more casual approach with a baby blue leather shoulder bag, round sunglasses, and, of course, a fan to beat the summer heat.

Princess Caroline wasn’t the only one supporting family businesses at the equestrian event. Her youngest daughter, Alexandra, wore a new dress from Philippa 1970, the fashion label founded by Sassa de Osma, wife of Christian of Hanover.

Charlotte stood out by skipping prints and choosing a 60s-style dress featuring a round neckline, short sleeves, and two hip pockets with buttons. The sky-blue ribbed knit, woven with metallic threads, is a design by Chanel—a house she has represented as an ambassador since 2020 and whose shows she rarely misses.

This past Friday night, the same venue hosted the Longines Pro Am Cup Monaco, a now iconic event on the Monegasque equestrian calendar that she launched in 2010.
