On Friday, Princess Charlene was spotted on her first outing of 2025 and she looked magnificent. Prince Albert’s wife, 46, signalled to another year of great style as she stepped out for the 25th anniversary celebration of the international event venue, the Grimaldi Forum, and to mark the inauguration of its extension.
The royal looked fabulous in a deep aubergine velvet jacket with double-breasted black satin buttons and matching lapels. It was paired with the matching cigarette style trousers – both from Crisoni Monte-Carlo.Â
The figure-flattering co-ord was paired with classic ankle-strap pumps by Dior and a complementary clutch. Charlene’s hair, which frequently sees a switch-up, was worn with a face-framing piece pulled out in the front that was styled in deep waves.Â
Her makeup look featured a glossy raspberry-hued lip and her eye makeup was cool in tone.

It is not the first time that the mother of two has worn the winter-ready fabric. Flash back to the 2011 Grimaldi Forum gala and you will find her in a taupe velvet gown with an asymmetrical neckline and leg-split skirt.Â
Meanwhile, she was mesmerising in midnight blue at the 2013 MONAA Charity Gala. Charlene opted for a custom Dior couture gown with a boat neckline and sleeveless silhouette.Â
