Princess Charlene Marks SMEG HQ Inauguration in Bold, Androgynous Suit

Stylists read the boxy silhouette as a renewed embrace of her risk-taking image.

Overview

  • On October 15, Princess Charlene joined Prince Albert to inaugurate the renamed SMEG Building, the new headquarters of Monaco’s electricity and gas company.
  • She chose an oversized double-breasted blazer with strong shoulders and matching wide-leg trousers over a crisp white shirt for a structured, androgynous look.
  • HELLO! quoted stylist Angela Kyte praising the outfit’s “exaggerated proportions,” saying they project a contemporary, androgynous silhouette.
  • Tatler and Marie Claire identified the suit as Max Mara, though the brand attribution has not been confirmed across all coverage.
  • The engagement followed her October 13 welcome for the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh in a tailored Alexander McQueen look, continuing her return to regular duties after an August absence.
