Princess Caroline of Monaco took style inspiration from her sister-in-law Princess Charlene for Monaco's National Day celebrations on Tuesday.

Prince Albert's older sister Caroline was the epitome of regal elegance when she wore a sapphire velvet gown very similar to one worn by Charlene last week.

While Charlene's form-fitting gown was sleeveless, 56-year-old Caroline opted for long sleeves and a looser fit.

Despite striking similarities between their dresses, the two Monegasque royals showed off their individuality with their choice of accessories.

Grace Kelly's eldest daughter Caroline chose a matching pale blue necklace and a pair of earrings while Charlene, 35, opted for dazzling diamond statement earrings.

For Tuesday's festivities in Monte Carlo, Charlene chose a sophisticated full-length black ensemble.
