Royal style is something every fashionista craves, especially when a delicious design is worn repeatedly across the kingdoms. Princess Charlene of Monaco donned just that brand of style as she attended her country’s glittering Red Cross Gala on the evening of Friday, July 26 at Monte-Carlo Sporting. For the annual event's 71st edition, she turned heads in a vivid green Marchesa Notte dress that featured the royally-approved caped silhouette we’ve had our eyes on for quite some time. As you may recall, Queen Letizia of Spain and Britain’s dazzling Duchesses - Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle - have all been spotted in this elegant look for their own fabulous engagements!
Read on to see how her look fared at the club!

For the lavish affair, the princess sported wavy beach-curled hair by beloved hairdresser Stephane Madinier, who memorably styled her hair for her royal wedding back in 2011. Meanwhile, makeup artist Rubi Long was responsible for the 41-year-old’s natural glowing skin and peachy nude lip. As for accessories, Charlene chose to rewear her stunning Repossi drop earrings, which are accented by large statement pearls, and carry a gold and green bedazzled clutch.
