Charlotte Casiraghi is eleventh in line to the throne of Monaco and Princess Grace Kelly’s granddaughter—and yet those aren’t even the most interesting things about her. She’s a signed Chanel house ambassador, and once opened a couture show on horseback. She’s also an accomplished equestrian, published journalist, film producer, environmentalist, and degree-holding student of philosophy. Somehow, the 36-year-old mother of two manages to do all this while maintaining her widely held reputation as one of the best dressed members of a royal family in the world.

Attending the premiere of Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon at Cannes, Casiraghi wore an embellished dress from Chanel’s spring 2022 couture collection, which she accessorized with classic Chanel cap-toe shoes and a quilted pink bag.

The late Karl Lagerfeld was a longtime family friend (and, famously, a resident of Monaco), so of course Charlotte came to the 2023 Met Gala held in his honor in full Chanel.
