An iconic figure in Monegasque fashion, the Sovereign’s sister wore a chic Chanel outfit, in keeping with her refined, timeless style. Her taste for haute couture was perfectly reflected in her choice of clothes, combining sophistication and modernity.

Charlotte Casiraghi, who is also an ambassador for Chanel, opted for an ensemble that showcased her innate sense of style. Her outfit respected the fashion house’s codes, but with her own contemporary touch. Wearing Chanel, Charlotte pays tribute to her great-grandmother’s legacy, while adding her own vision of fashion.

The younger Princess Alexandra, wore a coordinating outfit that complemented her mother and sister. Her modern, elegant look showed a promising sense of style, echoing that of the other women in her family.
