Princess Charlene is a fan of a tailored look, but for her most recent outing, the Zimbabwean-born Monegasque royal switched it up and opted for a totally different silhouette. Charlene joined her husband, Prince Albert of Monaco, to inaugurate the new headquarters of the Monégasque Electricity and Gas Society, the now-renamed SMEG Building, on 15 October. She opted for an oversized suit featuring a double-breasted blazer with boxy shoulders that offered structure.
She paired it with the matching wide-leg trousers, which cut off just below the ankle, and popped a crisp white shirt under the blazer to accentuate the formal nature of the look, which was amplified in how she wore her top button done up. Rounding off the look were a pair of pointed-toe shoes with a buckle adorning them.
Angela Kyte, a luxury stylist with a decade of experience, shares her opinion on Charlene's outfit, pointing out that the "exaggerated proportions" of Charlene's look create "a contemporary, androgynous silhouette". She adds: "Paired with minimal styling and a simple white shirt, the outfit communicates confidence and authority."
