Princess Charlene of Monaco joined members of her family for the traditional Christmas tree ceremony as part of the Christmas holiday season at the Monaco Palace on Wednesday. The royal attended the event alongside her husband of 13 years, Prince Albert II, and the couple’s 10-year-old twins, Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques.
Charlene opted for seasonal dressing, wearing a billowing black cape-coat, accentuated by silver buttons and the addition of a red and black checkered, scarf-like piece at the neckline. She coordinated the look with a pair of fitted black pants and knee-high black boots.

Princess Charlene coordinated ever-so-slightly with her daughter Princess Gabriella. The 10-year-old wore a red, long-sleeve coat with sharp lapels and a single black button, a red turtleneck dress and coordinated ballet flats. Princess Gabriella accessorized her attire with a red headband.
Princess Gabriella and her mother coordinated for a previous occasion last November. For the 2024 Monaco National Day celebrations, Princess Charlene wore a lilac suit, which perfectly complemented her daughter’s icy blue pastel coatdress, featuring shimmering details on the collar and skirt and coordinated with a headband.

Throughout 2024, Princess Charlene demonstrated her proclivity for streamlined, high-fashion looks. The royal wore several designer pieces this year, including a disco-inspired Elie Saab jumpsuit in March and another designer selection for Monaco’s annual Red Cross Ball.
For the formal event last July, Princess Charlene wore a bespoke white Louis Vuitton off-the-shoulder dress with a gold belt. She accessorized with the brand’s minaudiere bijou clutch and dangling yellow diamond earrings by Graff.

Princess Charlene joins several royals who showcased their penchant for designer apparel and streamlined style in 2024. Other royals who stood out include Meghan Markle, Queen Letizia of Spain and Kate Middleton, who gradually returned to public engagements following completion of her chemotherapy treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer.
