Princess Charlene of Monaco is a vision in white!

On Tuesday, June 18, the princess, 46, attended the 63rd Monte-Carlo Television Festival in Monte-Carlo, where she was bright in a white jumpsuit. Her husband Prince Albert was by her side for the event.

Charlene made a fashion statement in the flare-legged number with diagonal, sheer lace inserts on the bodice, styling her hair in a wispy bob. The royal kept her accessories minimal — a pair of earrings and a single bracelet on her wrist.

Prince Albert, 66, matched his wife’s classic style with a black suit, black dress pants, and a black bow tie. A white shirt was worn underneath. 

The couple, who have been married since 2011, share twin children, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, both 9, made it a family affair with two events in one day.

In addition to the 63rd Monte-Carlo Television Festival, the family of four stepped out for the Olympic flame lighting on Tuesday morning ahead of the XXXIII Olympic Summer Games, which will be held in Paris from July 26 to Aug. 11. 

Princess Charlene represented South Africa as an Olympic swimmer in 2000 on the 4x100m medley relay team, which placed fifth.

After winning three gold medals as a professional swimmer, the princess retired from the sport in 2007, before marrying Prince Albert — who also has an Olympic history.

Princess Charlene and Prince Albert both wore white sets with orange stripes on each arm for Tuesday’s Olympic flame lighting ceremony. Their twins wore black sets with matching shades. 

In March, Charlene and Albert had another glam night out at the Rose Ball — known as the Bal de la Rose in French.

The charity fundraiser was founded by Prince Albert's mother Princess Grace in 1954 and features thousands of the late royal’s favorite flowers: roses. It continues to benefit the Princess Grace Foundation, which was founded by the late Prince Ranier following the death of his wife in 1982, and supports performers as they get their start in the arts.
