Princess Charlene of Monaco attends the Grand Prix gala dinner in a chic black and white dress
Princess Charlene of Monaco was effortlessly elegant in a black and white dress as she attended the gala dinner for the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Monte Carlo last night.
The royal, 45, who is also a former Olympic swimmer, showed off an enviably toned arm in her off-the-shoulder ensemble.
She paired the two-tone maxi dress with dainty jewellery, with diamond earrings and a lavish bracelet as she appeared at the event alongside her husband Prince Albert II.
The mother of two opted for an elegant, glamorous makeup look with winged eyeliner and a touch of blush.
She painted her nails black to match the monochromatic aesthetic of her dress.

Charlene styled her newly debuted dark brown locks into a slicked back haircut, looking fierce as ever.
Meanwhile, her husband, 65, cut a trim figure in a tight tuxedo as he posed for photos with his wife.
The couple were also photographed with other VIPs – ranging from the King of Malaysia Abdullah Shah and F1 legend Max Verstappen.
It comes as Charlene showed off her new look yesterday as she stepped out for the Grand Prix along with other members of the royal family.
She sported new hair as she attended the annual motoring event, held at the Circuit de Monaco, with Prince Albert.
In a bold step away from her signature platinum crop, Charlene sported rich, glossy dark auburn hair, still in her signature elfin short haircut.
The royal family, who seemed deep in thought as they were photographed next to her husband, paired the dramatic new style with a chic maxi dress in a classic full-length shift style, featuring rainbow-colored stripes down the front.
Her locks were simply styled in a side part to show off her simple diamond studs and her elegant make-up look consisting of a fresh base and light brown smoky eyes.

Meanwhile, Prince Albert was smart too, wearing slacks with a classic blazer, a tight shirt and a tie.
Also at the Grand Prix was Grace Kelly’s granddaughter Charlotte Casiraghi, 36, accompanied by her husband, Dimitri Rassam, and her son Raphaël, eight.
Meanwhile, Grace Kelly’s grandson, Louis Ducruet, 30, was also in attendance with his wife, Marie Chevallier, also 30.
Pierre Casiraghi, 35, and his wife, Beatrice Borromeo, 37, were also in attendance, alongside Andrea Casiraghi, 38, and his Tatiana Santo Domingo, 39. The couple were pictured with their son Maximilian and daughter India.
Princess Charlene and Prince Albert’s outing followed a public appearance earlier this month when they attended a Buckingham Palace reception hosted by King Charles on the eve of his coronation, before attending the Westminster Abbey ceremony itself.

Their appearance in London followed the couple going public with their children in April, for the first time since the palace was forced to deny rumors that the couple’s marriage was on the rocks.
The family looked picture-perfect as Charlene put her arm around eight-year-old Prince Jacques and placed her other hand on Princess Gabriella’s shoulders as they headed to a match as part of the Sainte Devote Rugby Tournament.
The sweet family act came weeks after a French publication reported that Princess Charlene and Prince Albert were in a divorce process – something the palace has vehemently denied.
After ROYAUTÉ reported that their 12-year marriage was about to end, a spokesperson said the couple “formally deny the malicious rumors spread by the magazine.”

In recent weeks, the pair have put up a united front at events across the principality, including a memorial mass for Prince Albert’s late father, Prince Rainier, earlier this month.
However, Princess Charlene fueled rumors that her marriage was on the rocks when she was spotted on a solo trip to Milan last month without wearing her wedding ring.
She later returned to Monaco and attended an awards ceremony with her husband, again wearing the ring.
Later that day, however, the pair made a joint appearance at the Monte Carlo Woman of the Year awards, where Charlene appeared to be wearing her wedding band, pouring cold water on the split rumors.
The plot seemed to thicken at the next royal engagement, when Prince Albert attended the Rose Ball in Monaco without his wife present.
