Princess Charlene of Monaco may be one of the most glamorous royal ladies, but that doesn’t exclude her from rocking denim on occasion.
The Monegasque royal, who is married to Prince Albert of Monaco, was the epitome of elegance as she stepped out wearing silhouette-cinching skinny jeans during an engagement on Saturday.
The royal lamented her former Olympic swimming career as she was honoured by the Special Olympics Monaco, attending the opening of the ‘European Swim Meeting’ which is named after her.
The 47-year-old forged a successful career as an Olympic swimmer before retiring in 2007, and it was how she came to meet her husband, Prince Albert in 2000.
"After seeing me swim, Albert asked my management for permission to take me out," Princess Charlene told Vanity Fair.
Princess Charlene’s athletic frame looked incredible in the high-waisted skinny jeans, which she paired with a crisp white shirt and tailored tweed jacket for her poolside appearance.
The mother-of-two, who is growing out her former platinum blonde pixie cut, swept her golden locks into a beautiful coiled pleat and let curled pieces of hair frame her delicate features.
Royal fans flocked to the Palais Princier's official Instagram praise to comment on the royal's engagement. "An extremely empathetic woman, a lady with a big heart, wonderful in every sense," cheered one fan, as another penned: "HSH Princess Charlene [heart emoji] effortlessly kind and elegant."
A third added: "What a lovely moment. Princess Charlene looking beautiful."
