The navy coat included structured elements, featuring a sharp collar and lapels as well as a hidden leather element at the neckline to make the collar even higher depending upon the weather. Fortunately, Princess Charlene was able to wear the coat open with the lapels and collar down for a striking, modern look of sophistication.

As for her glam, Princess Charlene favored simple elegance. Her bobbed hair was coiffed with strands of her blond ‘do slighting framing her face. Highlights for her makeup included lined eyes, bold brows and a pop of color thanks to her fuchsia lip.

Princess Charlene’s pared-back Christmas celebration attire is a departure from her formal wear. Wednesday’s look does, however, follow suit with other European royals who’ve given bundling up for the winter temperatures a refined quality, much like Kate Middleton did in her Catherine Walker coat for her annual Together at Christmas carol service.
