Known for her signature short hairstyle, Princess Charlene of Monaco, 46, surprised royal watchers with a dramatic new look at the Monaco National Day celebrations on Monday.
Attending the event alongside her husband, Prince Albert, and their twin children, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, Charlene showcased a fresh hairstyle: a sleek low bun with a face-framing side fringe.
This marked her first updo in five years, suggesting that her once-cropped locks have grown significantly. The elegant hairstyle was complemented by a lilac netted fascinator.
Her outfit was equally striking. The former Olympic swimmer wore a custom-made, lavender Louis Vuitton jacket, featuring a collarless design and bold statement buttons.
She paired the jacket with cigarette-style trousers and classic black heels, completing her sophisticated ensemble.
