Princess Charlene's festive outings are always a joy to behold. The Monaco royal never misses the style memo, favouring sublime scarlet tones, subtle sparkles and cosy outerwear – and she never forgets a bold red lip.
Following this year's understated ensemble comprising a longline navy coat and statement red suede boots, we started reminiscing about the 45-year-old mother-of-two's most memorable Christmassy outfits over the years. Our favourite? Her floor-length tartan skirt and boxy jacket combo from exactly ten years ago.
Charlene, who stands at 5 ft 8, looked impossibly tall in the floor-skimming style, creating the illusion of endless legs.
The softly pleated festive garment boasted leather strap detailing on the hips, accentuating her model figure, and was perfectly paired with a velvet bolero jacket with a structured collar.

She styled her short blonde hair in a voluminous quiff and perfected her pout with a deep berry-hued lipstick.

Kate paired her chic wool maxi with a pearl button-embellished black knit and matching boots. So chic!
