Despite being only a few months old, when Princess Charlene of Monaco's twins needed an outfit for a major occasion, their mom made sure they woredesigner duds. Charlene decided upon Baby Dior for her little ones' baptism on Sunday, and madethe sweet move to wear the same high-end French designer as her son Prince Jacques and her daughter Princess Gabriella.
According to our sister magazine HOLA!, the fashionhouse created bespoke outfits for the twins, which consisted of long, flowingcotton gowns that came with matching bonnets. The dresses were finished offwith delicate pleating, Calais lace trimming and floral embroidery.
Adding a personal touch to the outfits andallowing well wishers to distinguish the five-month-old twins, Jacques andGabriella's respective monograms were sewn onto the gowns. Each baby also had apersonalized pacifier bearing their own name, with Gabriella given a pink oneand her brother Jacques a blue one.
The day may have been centered on Monaco's royaldarlings, but doting mom Charlene also took center stage. The South Africanbeauty, whose family had flown over for the special ceremony, looked radiant ina skirt-and-jacket ensemble by Dior Haute Couture.
Charlene stayed true to her chic minimalist style, opting for a cropped,three-quarter-length sleeve top and matching fifties-style skirt. The royalseemed to be channeling her husband's late mother Grace Kelly, by wearingelegant netted gloves, a pillbox hat and drop pearl earrings.
Royal fans were quick to note how overjoyedCharlene looked on her children's special day. The former Olympicswimmer was moved to tears during the ceremony, when her son was firstchristened followed by her daughter.
The affectionate mom enjoyed a moment with hertwins at the end of the service, when she was seen bending down to the tots whowere being carried by their nannies and cooed and showered them with kisses.
Following the baptism, Charlene and Prince Albert presented their twins to the people of Monaco on the steps of the cathedral,after which the babies were driven back to the palace while the new parentstraveled by foot, greeting members of the public along the way.
