Shortly after her engagement was announced, designer Karl Lagerfeld “took me to his workshop in Paris,” Charlene recalled. “He said, ‘You are going to be a style icon. You bring a breath of fresh air and modern glamour to Monaco.’” For her civil ceremony, Charlene collaborated with the designer, wearing a pantsuit in a vibrant shade of robin’s egg blue, which has since been dubbed “Charlene Blue.”
“We wanted something to match the color of my eyes,” she told Vogue. “It’s feminine and keeps with tradition, yet has a little twist that reflects my personal style. I thought it was a nice change to go for trousers instead of a skirt, especially since I’m an athlete and have always kept my clothes clean and simple.”

Despite its intricacies, it showed off Charlene’s athletic figure with classical simplicity and continues to draw compliments for its modernity.

For National Day, she wore a black double-faced dress coat with fuschia lining by South African designer Terrence Bray, a friend she has collaborated with since 2011.
“She has very good taste,” her husband Prince Albert tells PEOPLE, “and a good team of people around her, looking out for things that she’d like or want.
“But she’s able to recycle the different elements into new pieces. Like the coat that she wore for National Day, for example, was actually restyled by a South African friend of hers. It looks new but it’s actually recycled.”
