Princess Charlene of Monaco never met a sequin she didn't like. Over the weekend, the wife of Prince Albert debuted yet another sparkling gown as she attended the annual Bal de Noel of her eponymous Foundation.
The Monegasque royal, 45, looked sublime in a long-sleeved ball gown embellished with all-over silver sequins.
The spellbinding dress, which featured an elegant boater neckline, waist-cinching bodice and full length skirt, perfectly complemented her silver slingback pumps from Gianvito Rossi and her silver metallic 'Milan x Micaela' clutch from The Bella Rosa Collection.
The South African-born royal wore her icy blonde pixie cut swept into a chic side parting, adding fluttery lashes and a berry-red blush to complete her festive beauty glow.

It wasn't long before royal fans flocked to social media to comment on the mother-of-two's radiant appearance.

The mother-of-two has made a glittering return to public life after an ear, nose and throat (ENT) infection led her to retire from the spotlight for nearly two years.
The royal spent most of 2021 undergoing several surgeries in hospital in South Africa, meaning she was unable to return to Monaco to be with her two children, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, nor was she able to be with her husband Prince Albert on their 10th wedding anniversary.

Following her ENT infection, Charlene suffered a bout of exhaustion, which she recovered from away from home.

She has lost a lot of weight, which made her vulnerable to other potential ailments. A cold or the flu or God help us, Covid."
