Charlotte Casiraghi’s Best Fashion Moments Mix Cool-Girl Codes With Royal Elegance
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.
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.
The Rose Ball, held to benefit the Princess Grace Foundation, is one of the Monégasque Royal Family’s biggest events of the year. Charlotte, pictured here with her brother Andrea Casiraghi and his wife Tatiana Santo Domingo, showed up at the 2023 edition in pale pink Chanel couture.
To catch Chanel’s spring 2023 collection, Casiraghi looked the dictionary definition of classic Chanel house codes, in a black-and-white tweed suit ensemble.
Casiraghi showed up to Saint Laurent’s fall 2018 show in a sparkly striped sweater courtesy of the brand.
She attended Gucci’s fall 2017 show in a sparkly fit appropriate for the brand’s Alessandro Michele era.
Traveling to Los Angeles for the LACMA Art + Film Gala, Casiraghi might have been inspired by those California sunsets when choosing this colorful Gucci gown.
Dressed in Giambattista Valli, Casiraghi was feeling floral to kick off the Paris Opera Ballet’s annual season.
Attending Kering’s Women in Film dinner (which honored Tilda Swinton that year), Casiraghi’s floral gown was belted with a whimsical heart-shaped buckle.
At the 2017 Met Gala, she was a full Gucci girl.
For the 2017 Rose Ball, Charlotte pulled vintage Chanel couture from the fall 1996/97 collection.
At a dinner in New York City celebrating the 110th anniversary of Montblanc, she went with an embroidered gown in a lovely shade of yellow.
Spotted in Italy on the weekend of her brother Pierre Casiraghi’s marriage to former Newsweek and The Daily Beast journalist Beatrice Borromeo, Charlotte expertly matched her Gucci bag to the print of her dress.
At the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Todd Haynes’s Carol, she kept it cherry in floral.
In Los Angeles in 2014, she mixed navy blue and hunter green with some floral embellishments.
In 2014 in Paris, she donned an elegant white column gown with a subtle cutout around the waist.
For the premiere of the animated film voiced by Ben Stiller and Jada Pinkett Smith, Casiraghi opted for forest green with ruffle accents.
Casraghi went for classic elegance in grey for a Cartier exhibit held in Madrid, Spain.
For the opening of the Gucci museum in Milan (where items from the brand’s history, like Tom Ford’s famous handcuffs are displayed), she appropriately wore Gucci.
Monaco is a principality, not a kingdom—meaning the top royal is Prince Albert II. Charlotte went for something classic while attending his 2011 wedding to the former Charlene Lynette Wittstock.
At the 2011 amfAR Gala in Cannes, she put her legs on display in a cocktail dress.
At a party for Vogue’s 100th anniversary, she upped the drama in a purple print, statement belt, and veil.
