Princess Charlene glitters in gold wedding guest dress with gravity-defying detail
Princess Charlene embodied awards season and looked like a real-life Emmy as she attended Princess Madeleine of Sweden and Christopher O'Neill's wedding celebrations.
The day before the royal wedding took place in June 2013, Madeleine's parents King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia hosted a private dinner at The Grand Hotel in Stockholm, Sweden. Royals from around the world gathered for the celebrations, including Charlene and her husband Prince Albert.
Charlene oozed glamour in a shimmering golden sleeveless dress with a low V-neck, a fitted silhouette leading and a mermaid skirt that emphasised her trim figure. A matching sleeveless jacket with a statement Dracula collar completed the ensemble.
Beauty-wise, Charlene looked glowing in a shimmering makeup base with long dark lashes and subtle pink lipgloss. She styled her blonde pixie cut in a sleek straight style blowdried away from her face.
The following day, Charlene served up more wedding guest dress inspiration in a mocha ensemble. She teamed a strapless ruched corset with a peplum waist with a matching fishtail floor-length skirt, adding a sheer chocolate brown bolero jacket around her shoulders.

The jacket had been removed as Charlene travelled by boat from The Royal Palace to Drottningholm Palace for Madeleine and Christopher's wedding reception dinner.
Princess Madeleine's royal wedding
Princess Madeleine of Sweden and businessman Christopher exchanged vows in the Royal Chapel of Stockholm Palace on 8 June 2013. The date is now doubly sentimental for the Swedish royals, whose two daughters Princess Leonor and Princess Adrienne were baptised on the same day and in the same location in 2014.
For the English and Swedish ceremony, the beautiful bride wore a Valentino gown with ivory-coloured Chantilly lace, a low back and a four-metre-long train. She later changed into a white ball gown that previously belonged to her mother Queen Silvia for the reception at Drottningholm Palace – a location that "means a lot" to the royal.
In an interview shortly before the wedding, Madeleine explained: "The wedding dinner will take place at Drottningholm's castle, which I am very happy about. Drottningholm Castle means a lot to me because I was born and raised there."
