The Monaco Grand Prix has always been a showcase for Princess Charlene’s effortlessly chic style—but this year, she surprised royal watchers with an unexpected twist.
On Saturday, the 47-year-old royal made a striking fashion statement by stepping out in a pair of trainers—a first for her at the prestigious racing event. The sporty, chunky-soled tan sneakers offered a fresh contrast to her otherwise polished ensemble.

Charlene styled the shoes with wide-leg black trousers and the ‘Guepards et Palmettes Painter Blouse’ by Hermès, a white top featuring bold printed panelling down the front. The look blended structured elegance with casual flair, reflecting her modern approach to royal dressing.
Staying true to her signature minimalist aesthetic, the Princess wore her hair in a sleek low bun, while adding a playful pop of colour with vibrant pink lipstick—subtle but striking.
Her unexpected footwear choice not only broke with tradition but also sparked admiration for her effortless ability to balance comfort, confidence, and couture.
