Princess Charlene, along with her husband Prince Albert II, is all set to welcome some special guests in Monaco for a high-profile State Visit.
Taking to their official Instagram account on Monday, September 28, the Monegasque Royal Family announced that the Princely Couple will welcome Italian President Sergio Mattarella in the Principality for a historic State Visit this week.
Sharing the dates of the two-day visit, the Palace noted, “At the invitation of H.S.H. the Prince, H.E. Mr. Sergio Mattarella, President of the Italian Republic, will pay a State Visit to the Principality of Monaco on Friday, October 2, and Saturday, October 3, 2026.”
The upcoming trip will be historic in nature, as it is set to be the first time that a President of the Italian Republic will visit the Principality of Monaco.
As Princess Charlene, who is known for her impeccable fashion sense, is preparing to host the grand State Visit, it is worth revisiting some of her standout style moments from the past visits.
Charming in midi dress during French State Visit
Last year in June, Prince Albert and Princess Charlene hosted French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron for a State Visit to Monaco.
One of the outing during the two-day visit saw the Monegasque Princess stun in an elegant, sleeveless A-line midi dress featuring a striking black and white geometric pattern across the bodice and the skirt, which flowed freely.
She complemented the ensemble with subtle, natural-looking makeup and wore minimal jewelry, keeping the dress at the center of attention.
Polished black look for Chinese State Visit
One of Princess Charlene’s most striking diplomatic look came back in 2019, when the Princely Couple welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping and First Lady Peng Liyuan for a State Visit to Monaco.
At the high-profile occasion, the Princess turned heads in a minimalist yet iconic black dress featuring a collarless, long-sleeved jacket paired with a matching knee-length pencil skirt.
She accessorized her ensemble with a delicate brooch on her left lapel, adding a subtle touch of color to the monochromatic silhouette.
Sporting a chic short haircut parted in the side and a pair of stylish sunglasses, Charlene looked gorgeous as she met with Liyuan.
