Princess Charlene is every inch a royal Barbie in pink houndstooth suit and kitten heels
Princess Charlene of Monaco's royal wardrobe has been a pick 'n' mix collection of styles this month, with the elegant royal wearing everything from sweatpants and trainers to a fitted bouclé suit and kitten heels.
The Monegasque royal wore the latter during a poignant event at the Place du Casino in Monaco on Friday evening, stepping out in a pastel pink houndstooth coord from royally-loved brand, Emilia Wickstead.
Acting in her role as Honorary President of Pink Ribbon Monaco, a charity fighting to raise awareness of breast cancer since 2011, Princess Charlene wore her aptly chosen pink two-piece suit as part of the symbolic illumination of the city's Casino Square.
Every year, the Pink Ribbon association leads the annual switch-on of lighting up the emblematic buildings of the Principality in pink, including the Princier Palace. The occasion marks the start of 'Pink October', a global breast cancer awareness campaign.
