The author slipped on a pair of pointed nude heels and spruced up her look with a chunky satin headband complete with a netted veil and delicate flowers.
She wore her golden red tresses in glamorous waves and added a slick of glossy pink lipstick and a pair of pearl stud earrings. Christian, 51, meanwhile, looked dapper in a smart tailcoat, a dove grey waistcoat and a patterned navy tie.
Christian described King Charles as "charming" after he was honoured at Buckingham Palace. Speaking to PA news agency, the F1 boss said he found the occasion "humbling," before adding: "It's a huge privilege to receive an honour like this." Reflecting on the conversation he had with the monarch, Christian said: "He was charming. We exchanged pleasantries and he inquired how the season had gone."

As a family, we are all incredibly proud of everything you have achieved in your 20 years @redbullracing and I know the Team feel the same. You are a leader, an innovator and a pathfinder and this distinction is a reflection of your dedication and services to motorsport. Congratulations!"
Christian has led Red Bull's F1 team since 2005, winning six constructors' championships between 2010 and 2023. He kicked off his career as a racing driver before becoming a race winner in the 1992 British Formula Renault Championship. After retiring from competitive driving aged 25, he moved across to team management.
Geri frequently supports Christian from the sidelines. Back in October, the author was all smiles as she cheered on her husband at the US Grand Prix.

Geri is renowned for rocking head-to-toe white. During an interview with The Sunday Times Style magazine, she spoke about her choice to wear one single shade, explaining how it's the same as a CEO wearing a suit every day.

While the couple are notoriously private about their relationship, the pair have occasionally shared insights into their marriage and love story.
During a chat with The Telegraph in March 2023, Christian revealed how they crossed paths several times before they started dating in 2015.

"I remember [McLaren boss] Ron Dennis was standing next to me and Eddie Jordan was there as well. Anyway, she gave Ron a kiss on the cheek, and she gave Eddie a kiss on the cheek. So I thought, 'OK, I'm on for a kiss on the cheek here!' And I went to give her one and she shoved her hand out at me!"
