This Is the Royalty-Approved Way to Wear Jeans to a Couture Show
It's not like we've never seen a royal wearing denim before (we're looking at you, Princess Kate), but when we spotted Charlotte Casiraghi of Monaco at the Chanel couture show, we almost did a double take.
Compared to other European royals, the princess (a granddaughter of the über-elegant Princess Grace) seldom participates in public events. But when she does, her outfits are on point—and dare we say a bit more accessible than the glamorous gowns worn to black-tie affairs.
Styled in the brand's signature black-and-white herringbone jacket, this low-key royal kept things casual but polished in a pair of slim, ankle-length jeans, cap-toe Mary Janes, and a quilted Chanel handbag. Wearable everywhere from couture shows to cafés, this outfit has a je ne sais quoi that makes it a go-to for almost any occasion.
But since we're not quite regal enough to have an entire winter wardrobe comprised of Chanel designs at our disposal, we decided to do what we do best: re-create the look with similarly stylish pieces. Ahead, shop black-and-white coats, jeans, Mary Janes, and top-handle bags that are fit for a royal but budget-friendly enough for her subjects.
