Princess Charlene and her husband, Prince Albert, enjoyed a milestone moment at the Monte Carlo Masters on Sunday. Following Carlos Alcaraz’s victory at the tennis tournament, Charlene, 47, and Albert, 67, presented him with the coveted trophy.
Turning heads as she arrived at the Monte-Carlo Country Club in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, the Princess took power dressing to new heights. Stepping out in an azure-blue suit, the royal accessorised with a statement pearl necklace, matching earrings and cream stilettos.
Sporting her natural curls, Charlene’s hair was swept into a low chignon with loose tendrils framing her face. As for her makeup, the mom-of-two teamed a barely-there eyeshadow with a flourish of mascara and a pale pink lip.

Appearing in good spirits as he and Princess Charlene attended Sunday’s match, the 67-year-old was also spotted chatting with his cousin and President of the Monegasque Tennis Federation, Mélanie-Antoinette de Massy.
Back in 2010, Princess Charlene told Tatler that she and Prince Albert were “sports fanatics”, so they were likely in their element at the tennis tournament.
It’s been a busy week for the Monegasque royals, including Princess Charlene, who has become a bona fide style icon. Embracing the moniker on Monday, fans were left swooning over her look at the Red Cross graduation ceremony.

Princess Charlene’s fashion evolution
The Princess has become closely associated with the world of fashion, but in a 2010 interview, she admitted that it had never come naturally to her.
“As I spend more time in Monaco, I have developed an understanding of fashion,” she told Tatler. “But coming into myself has taken time. Because I’ve got broad shoulders, clean, simple, elegant lines suit me best.”
“My style icon is Charlize Theron,” she continued. “We actually grew up in the same place. [Charlene grew up in the town of Benoni, near Johannesburg. She is so beautiful and stylish. She’s also my favourite actress. I admire how she’s used her talent to raise awareness for charitable causes in her home country.”
