Princess Charlene of Monaco is no stranger to a chic trouser suit, and her latest look for the pre-coronation reception had a special twist.

The royal looked incredible in the baby blue waterfall co-ord which featured a one-shoulder design, draping to the floor beautifully.

The gorgeous trouser suit looked so regal with its sparkling embellishments, and Princess Charlene rounded off the glamorous look with a pair of Manolo Blahnik silver heels and a matching box clutch bag.

The mother-of-two let the co-ord do the talking with minimal jewellery, opting simply for a pair of sparkling silver earrings.

Princess Charlene smiled for the cameras alongside her husband Prince Albert II, who wore a navy suit with a white shirt and a baby blue tie to match his wife's outfit.

In 1953, a 25-year-old Queen Elizabeth II slipped into an extravagant white duchesse satin gown embroidered with strings of pearls, sequins and crystals. The Norman Hartnell-designed dress moreover featured embroidered national and Commonwealth floral emblems in gold, silver and pastel-coloured silks.

On top of her sumptuous gown, the late monarch wore a six-and-a-half-metre Robe of Estate - made by royal robe-makers Ede & Ravenscroft. It took a team of 12 seamstresses, using 18 types of gold thread, a whopping 3,500 hours to complete the Queen’s velvet robe.
