We have always seen Prince Albert of Monaco as the usual face at the Ballon d’Or gala. But this time, the surprise came with Princess Charlene, who appeared in Paris with a very special role: to present the Socrates Award.
This recognition is given to footballers who use their influence to bring about positive change. A choice that perfectly aligns with his commitment to youth and education through sports.
The occasion also served as an opportunity for Charlene to showcase her most elegant side. The Princess of Monaco chose a long, white Elie Saab dress with a closed neckline and a set of pleats and drapes that were further accentuated by an asymmetrical cut, revealing her back.
The result was a striking look, one that made her shine without any excess.
The ensemble was completed with carefully chosen accessories, including a silver clutch and coral-shaped diamond earrings that added a unique touch.
I found it interesting how she once again opted for Elie Saab, as she had previously favored pieces by this designer, especially in white, but always in monochrome versions. This time, she opted for a gala dress with a more daring flair.
