The Monaco Grand Prix has long been an opportunity for Princess Charlene to show off the most glamorous garments in her wardrobe. 

However, fans could be forgiven for doing a double take on Saturday when the Monagasque royal, 47, stepped out in the most unexpected footwear.

For the first time this year, Prince Albert's wife wore a pair of trainers to the Grand Prix. Her chunky-soled tan kicks were teamed with a pair of wide-leg black trousers and a white blouse with printed pannelling down the front – the 'Guepards et Palmettes Painter Blouse' from Hermès.

Ever a fan of minimalism, Charlene opted for a quiet luxury bun for a classic hair look but displayed her penchant for a pop of colour in her bright pink lipstick.

Sporty outings

The princess - who is a keen sportswoman herself, having competed in the Olympics as a swimmer - has been on a number of sport-centred outings recently. 

Earlier this month, the Zimbabwean-born royal made an appearance at the award ceremony during the race of Monaco E-Prix round seven.

Proving her ability to style statement garments, Charlene paired a classic white shirt with a striped A-line skirt by Sara Roka in hues of pink, yellow, and orange.

She had switched up her look entirely from the grey double-breasted Crisoni suit and white Francesco Russo heels combo she sported on day eight of the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters in April.

Elevating her look to the next level, the mother of twins Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, both 10, added the white 'Lady Perla Clutch' by Dior and the 'Ascent 85' red leather slingbacks by Gianvito Rossi – a favourite among the royal style set.
