Princess Charlene of Monaco looked exquisite on Thursday as she stepped out with her husband Prince Albert to open the La Flamme Olympique Au Fil Des Temps exhibition at the Grimaldi Forum Monaco.
The Zimbabwean-born Monagasque royal, 46, looked elegant in a ruby red leg-extending jumpsuit from Elie Saab.

The statuesque royal teamed the designer garment with a pair of gold strappy heels to coordinate with the buckle on her jumpsuit and ditched a bag altogether.

For makeup, Charlene elevated her overall look with a shiny red lip and matte eyeshadow look for a 1950s feel.

The exhibition brings together 40 Olympic torches from the private collection of Prince Albert and has been curated to celebrate the centenary of the gold medal of John B. Kelly Sr, the prince's grandfather of Prince Albert II of Monaco.
Princess Charlene's Olympic wardrobe

The mother-of-two looked so chic in a bright white single-breasted suit jacket and matching tapered trousers. She popped on a crew neck white blouse and also a pair of metallic stilettos.

The former athlete has made a habit of rocking a white outfit lately. In June, Charlene attended the closing ceremony during the 63rd Monte-Carlo Television Festival where she rocked a gorgeous asymmetrical white caped gown with lace cutouts from Elie Saab.
