On Thursday 25 July, the Louvre Pyramid was lit
up for an exceptional dinner organised by the International Olympic Committee, attracting
a host of stars in the run-up to the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Among
the 500 hand-picked guests, Princess Charlene of Monaco captivated everyone with a bold, modern
look that celebrated her elegance. For this evening devoted to sport, the former swimmer chose
to assert herself in a total black look, combining sobriety and originality. The mother of twins
Jacques and Gabriella, Charlene swapped her usual evening gowns for an original ensemble,
looking stunning in a tank top over trousers with a train. This daring choice highlighted
her silhouette while offering a contemporary touch. By abandoning flamboyant colours and
sequins, she proves that simplicity can go hand in hand with sophistication. Her unique and
determined allure makes Charlene a true style icon, perfectly in tune with the spirit of
this memorable event. Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of fashion with this
sublime top featuring a scoop neckline that delicately reveals the shoulders while
accentuating the bust. A tonal fabric rose, subtly placed on one shoulder, adds a touch of
romance to this piece. Made from Italian cotton, this asymmetric, gathered tank top is a signature
Alexander McQueen creation, perfectly matched with black trousers with a straight, loose fit. The
waist is beautifully cinched with taffeta trims, forming a wide belt that ends in an
XXL bow. To complete the silhouette, a long, flowing train extends gracefully to the
floor, elongating the silhouette and infusing the ensemble with a truly glamorous, feminine
spirit. This chic and daring eveningwear will turn you into a modern-day princess. To top
it all off, a Louis Vuitton Slim Trunk bag, reminiscent of a mini mall, completes this
dazzling look. Get ready to be a real eye-catcher! Princess Charlene of Monaco stands out as one of
the most contemporary royals of her generation. A perfect blend of the chic and elegance dictated by
protocol, she manages to create daring looks that keep her away from monotony. With boundless
creativity, Prince Albert's wife plays with fashion, creating original silhouettes that
surprise and seduce. Like her compatriot Delphine of Belgium, who recently caused a sensation with
an interactive outfit featuring a message on Snapchat, Princess Charlene has no qualms about
playing with asymmetrical tops, graphic outfits and avant-garde dresses. Her unique style, both
original and resolutely in tune with the times, sets her apart from other crowned heads. She often
swapped her long dresses for feminine-masculine looks, showing a marked preference for jumpsuits.
At the opening of the exhibition ‘The Olympic Flame through Time’ at the Grimaldi Forum Monaco
on 18 July, the former swimmer dazzled in a red piece by Elie Saab. This is not the first time
she has made a name for herself: on 18 June, at the closing night of the Monaco Festival, she
had already captivated attention in an immaculate jumpsuit adorned with a majestic cape. All
in all, Princess Charlene has brilliantly reinvented the image of royalty, proving that
modernity and elegance can go hand in hand!
