Princess Charlene's 47th birthday may have fallen in January, but new photos have emerged of the chic royal.
South African rugby union player Siya Kolisi marked Prince Albert of Monaco's wife's birthday by sharing photos with her on Instagram. "Happy birthday, Princess Charlene! Wishing you an amazing day and a wonderful year ahead. Thank you for the warm welcome yesterday and for your incredible support for rugby.
"I’m excited to see the impact you’ll have on rugby in Monaco and beyond [South Africa]," the caption read.
Showing off her statuesque figure, Princess Charlene wore a navy blue figure-skimming dress from Reiss. The 'Jem' midi dress had a flattering panelled pattern and an asymmetric hem, and it's currently on sale for £68, down from £168. If you're reading this in the states, it can also be yours for $110 on sale.

Blue is one of Charlene's go-to colours, with the royal showcasing her fine-tuned sartorial prowess in varying hues over the years.

The following year at the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix, she wore a Louis Vuitton cobalt jumpsuit.

You bring a breath of fresh air and modern glamour to Monaco,'" she told Vogue in 2011, before explaining they developed her trademark balance of masculine and feminine elements.
She has also favoured brands such as Stella McCartney, Ralph Lauren and Giorgio Armani, stating that she is now much less "insecure" and more experimental.

"I’ve reached the point where I know what I like and what works. I’m starting to play with fresher, bolder, and more daring looks."
