Monégasque royal Beatrice Borromeo once again channeled the timeless elegance of her in-law Grace Kelly at the Monaco Grand Prix.
The Italian journalist and wife of Pierre Casiraghi managed to effortlessly blend classic sophistication with modern flair in two stunning dresses. For the final event on 26 May, Beatrice embodied Grace Kelly’s iconic style with a striking black-and-white houndstooth dress.
The houndstooth pattern, a favourite of mid-century fashion, added a touch of vintage charm, while the modern fit kept the look contemporary. Complemented by simple black ballet flats and a sleek crossbody bag, Beatrice’s outfit was a masterclass in the kind of sophisticated simplicity that Princess Grace became renown for.

Paired with stylish black sandals and a matching handbag, Beatrice’s look was both approachable and refined, reminiscent of Grace Kelly’s effortless daytime elegance.
