Princess Charlene of Monaco has made a suit her wardrobe staple this October, and on 17 October, she wore her most oversized look to date. The wife of Prince Albert, 47, was seen at the inauguration of a commemorative plaque at Stade Louis II in honour of Mireille Calmes, the founder of Special Olympics Monaco, which recognised her lifelong work for inclusion through sport. Charlene, who is a former Olympic swimmer and has been Honorary President of Special Olympics Monaco since 2012, added a touch of sartorial flair to the sporty outing as she stepped out in Max Mara.
The midnight blue blazer, the label's 'Pagano' style, featured double-breasted button fastening and buttoned cuffs, as well as two front flap pockets. It looked as if the royal had sized up as it looked oversized. Underneath, she popped on a white T-shirt and also slipped on Max Mara's 'Oslo' trousers.
The 'Oslo' style featured a super wide-leg and was cut below the ankle, offering a glimpse at her Manolo Blahnik pumps. The 'Maysale 50' style featured a buckle on the toe and a kitten heel. "Princess Charlene's navy suit is a study in modern minimalism, impeccably tailored yet effortlessly elegant," Angela Kyte, a luxury stylist with a decade of experience, tells us.
"The structured blazer and flowing wide-leg trousers create a sleek, statuesque silhouette, while her updo adds a fresh, contemporary edge that sharpens the overall look." As for her hair, Charlene wore her hair up with a front section pulled out and curled to frame her face. This has become her go-to look since she started growing her hair out in 2023. I know from following Princess Charlene's fashion moves at HELLO!, that Charlene has been wearing a lot of suits recently. Keep scrolling to see…
