From Jumpsuit to Poncho: How Princess Charlene Rained Supreme at Olympic Opener
The City of Light, ablaze with Olympic fervor, and there stands our Monégasque monarch, a vision in white. Princess Charlene, eternally the style savant, graced us with a look that was nothing short of spectacular. The pièce de résistance? A bespoke Louis Vuitton jumpsuit that hugged her curves like a second skin, cinching at the waist to create a silhouette that screamed elegance with a capital ‘E’.
But oh, mes chéris, it was her choice of accessories that truly elevated this ensemble to stratospheric heights. Those silver metallic Gianvito Rossi heels? Absolute perfection. Trust Charlene to know that when it comes to footwear, Gianvito never disappoints. The way they caught the light with every step was simply mesmerizing.
And then, there was the bag. Not just any bag, mind you, but the Louis Vuitton ‘Capucines Silver Holographic Alligator Leather’ handbag. At a cool £26k/€31k, this isn’t just an accessory; it’s a work of art. The holographic finish played beautifully against the clean lines of her jumpsuit, adding just the right amount of futuristic flair to the ensemble.
Charlene’s beauty look was equally on point. Her blonde tresses were styled in a chic blow-out with face-framing bangs that had us all reaching for our round brushes. The makeup? Flawless, darling. A touch of smoky grey on the eyes, lashes for days, a hint of rosy blush, and a nude lip that let her natural beauty shine through.
Not to be outdone, Prince Albert cut a dashing figure in a red suit jacket paired with crisp white trousers and a coordinating striped tie. The couple’s sartorial synergy was a sight to behold, a testament to their impeccable taste and attention to detail.
Even when the heavens opened and rain threatened to dampen the festivities, our royal fashion icons didn’t miss a beat. Donning ponchos alongside their adorable twins, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, they proved that true style shines through, come rain or shine.
In a world where fashion can sometimes take itself too seriously, it was refreshing to see the Monégasque royals embrace both glamour and practicality. Their ability to pivot from high fashion to weather-appropriate attire without losing an ounce of charm is exactly why we can’t get enough of this stylish duo.
