Princess Charlene of Monaco is no stranger to a chic trouser suit, and her latest look for the pre-coronation reception had a special twist.

The royal looked incredible in the baby blue waterfall co-ord which featured a one-shoulder design, draping to the floor beautifully.

The gorgeous trouser suit looked so regal with its sparkling embellishments, and Princess Charlene rounded off the glamorous look with a pair of Manolo Blahnik silver heels and a matching box clutch bag.

The mother-of-two let the co-ord do the talking with minimal jewellery, opting simply for a pair of sparkling silver earrings.

Princess Charlene smiled for the cameras alongside her husband Prince Albert II, who wore a navy suit with a white shirt and a baby blue tie to match his wife's outfit.

The couple was amongst other European royals arriving at Buckingham Palace for the pre-coronation reception, with Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and his wife Crown Princess Mary also among the guests, as well as King Felipe of Spain and his wife Queen Letizia, who dazzled royal fans in a Victoria Beckham green dress.

In 1953, a 25-year-old Queen Elizabeth II slipped into an extravagant white duchesse satin gown embroidered with strings of pearls, sequins and crystals. The Norman Hartnell-designed dress moreover featured embroidered national and Commonwealth floral emblems in gold, silver and pastel-coloured silks.

On top of her sumptuous gown, the late monarch wore a six-and-a-half-metre Robe of Estate - made by royal robe-makers Ede & Ravenscroft. It took a team of 12 seamstresses, using 18 types of gold thread, a whopping 3,500 hours to complete the Queen’s velvet robe.
