Princess Charlene is a red carpet bombshell in £10.5k crystal Oscar de la Renta gown

Princess Charlene epitomised evening glamour on 13 March as she stepped out alongside Prince Albert to attend the Provale Solidarité charity gala at the Hotel Georges V in Paris.

Making an appearance at the event, which supports rugby players facing hardship after their careers, Charlene, 48, was a vision in navy as she stepped out in Oscar de la Renta’s ‘Mosaic Crystal Embroidered Cady Gown’.

The princess, who first entered public consciousness as a professional swimmer, allowed her dress to do the talking by keeping her accessories understated. She opted for a simple pair of diamond stud earrings and omitted a necklace and bracelet.

For her beauty look, Charlene chose a glossy salmon-pink lip, a soft cut crease eyeshadow look, and glowing rosy cheeks. Her milky manicure rounded off the look perfectly, as did her understated updo with a section pulled out and curled to frame her face.

A stylist’s verdict

It’s a look that caught the attention of fashion stylist, Leanne Jones. “Leaning into her signature preference for bold, dark monochrome, Charlene’s beautiful navy Oscar de la Renta piece is elevated by jewel-encrusted detailing at the décolletage, which adds a striking touch of glamour and truly lifts the design,” she tells us.

“There appears to have been some subtle tailoring and editing to the jewel features at the décolletage to really make this piece Charlene’s own, and then of course, the earrings, perfectly reflect the diamond detailing on the dress.”

It’s not the first time Charlene has donned a spectacular Oscar de la Renta look. Perhaps the most memorable dress worn by the princess and masterminded by the Dominican designer came in 2018 when she attended the Monte-Carlo Gala for the Global Ocean, an ocean conservation fundraiser.
