Monaco is ready for the festivities December has in store, and the princely family has got things off to a flying start with their appearance at the inauguration of Christmas Lights on the Place du Casino in Monte-Carlo on 29 November.
Prince Albert, Princess Charlene, and their children, Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques, made an appearance, with Gabriella looking so sweet in a luxury look. The 10-year-old was seen wearing the wool-alpaca blend dress in ivory with gold thread running through from the French high fashion house, Dior.

She also wore a little rollneck sweater and white woollen tights to brave the cold, rounding off the outfit with the 'Marcie Off White Leather Ballerina' flats by Chloé, according to Royal Fashion Daily on Instagram, which are worth £570.

Perfect for Christmas

"Children's fashion at Christmas is extra sparkly and extra ethereal, and this lovely Dior two-piece is just that.
"The winter white look and the smattering of gold and silver thread could be compared to Queen Elsa from Disney's Frozen, and it's not too grown up. It's nodding to the season, it's super formal and great for royal events, but it's still very childlike and pretty and super cute for any little girl."
Princess Gabriella's busy season

Along with both parents and her brother, Gabriella attended the Monaco National Day parade, which celebrates the ascension of her father, the Prince of Monaco, on 19 November every year.
