Princess Charlene of Monacostunned in a beautiful off-white dress as she attended a charity golf tournament in Monte Carlo, where she proved that her swing has just as much substance as her style.
Charlene, 47, who has been married to Prince Albert of Monaco, 67, since 2011, beamed as she picked up an iron and got into position in front of a golf ball at the Princess of Monaco Cup event.
The former Olympic swimmer showcased her sporting credentials as she held her stance while swinging the golf club – all while remaining a picture of elegance in a£2,550 Elie Saab gown and a pair of Jimmy Choo slingback heels.
The mother-of-two selected a sleeveless version of the Lebanese designer’s floral embroidered tulle midi dress, which featured applique flowers and sheer sections, for the fourth edition of the charity event.
She completed her ensemble with Choo’s £675 ‘Amita 85’ patent leather pumps in a complementary shade of cream.
Charlene, who was accompanied by her husband, wore her blonde hair swept back in a stylish chignon with a loose wave at the front to soften the look.
She kept her make-up simple for the occasion, adding a rose-coloured lipstick, light blush and pale pink eyeshadow, and accessorised with a pair of diamond stud earrings.
At one point during the event, Albert, who looked dapper in cream trousers and a navy blazer, appeared to provide some golfing pointers to his enthusiastic wife.

The Princess of Monaco Cup golf tournament, which launched in 2019, is a ‘celebrity cup’ played by 18 teams, all of which are built around a star.
In its first year, the competition raised€330,000 (£287,917) for the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation, with proceeds used to fund a five-year projectat the Awutu-Breku High School in Ghana and the renovation of the Princess Charlene Municipal Swimming Pool in La Turbie in southeastern France.
Charlene and Albert’s 10-year-old twins returned to school after a long summer earlier this month – and the young royals proved they were just like normal children when they donnedLabubu and Robloxmerchandise for their first day back.
Prince Jacques andPrincess Gabriellabeamed in social media snaps as they kicked off the academic year at the prestigious Institution François D’assise-Nicolas Barré, having updated their uniforms to reflect their current passions.
Gabriella brandished a baby blue bag adorned with the cartoon character Cinnamoroll – of the famous Japanese entertainment company Sanrio, best known for creating Hello Kitty – in one picture.
Fitted with illustrations, numerous pockets and badges, it was also enhanced by a clipped on Labubu – a collectible made by Chinese toy company Pop Mart that has been sending even A-lister shoppers into a frenzy.
The trinkets, which originated in Hong Kong, are plush, furry little dolls that are described as ‘elvish creatures,’ with big teeth and elf-like ears, and can go for up to £94 on the website, excluding opulent special editions which can reach into the hundreds.
Meanwhile the resale value on the figurines has been extortionate, with a life-size version having gone for a whopping £127,000 at an auction this summer.

Also pertinent was the Roblox branding, said to be the biggest gaming website in the UK among users aged eight to 12.
In an Instagram caption, the royals congratulated the children on resuming their studies.
‘A new school year full of discoveries, friendships and adventures awaits them,’ it read.
‘The Family wishes all the students of the Principality a very nice start to school! A new academic year full of discoveries, friendships, and adventures awaits them.’
The kids have been attending the school since 2021, according Monaco Life.
