Princess Charlene of Monaco is often admired for her style, and a weekend at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Monte Carlo gave her the perfect opportunity to showcase her chic wardrobe.

The Monegasque Royal Family shared photos taken at the Grand Prix on May 24 on Instagram. In several snaps, Princess Charlene could be seen wearing a casual pair of tan sneakers with white soles. The rest of Charlene's outfit remained formal, yet laidback. The princess wore black pants with an Hermès "Guepards et Palmettes" Painter Blouse, which retails for $2,500. The Monaco Royal Family's caption explained, "Prince Albert and Princess Charlène graced the tribune of the Monégasque Association of Motor Disabled with their presence. Located on the outskirts of Monaco-Ville, this grandstand, specially designed for people with reduced mobility, offers one of the most beautiful views on the circuit. On this occasion, the Princier Couple offered caps signed by Monégasque pilot Charles Leclerc. A moment of sharing and kindness, greeted by all."

While congratulating the winner of the Grand Prix, the former Olympian wore a Louis Vuitton Silk Scarf Shirt in red, with a pair of twill pants in the same color, via UFO No More. Charlene completed her perfectly coordinated outfit with a pair of Manolo Blahnik BB 70 Pointed-Toe Pumps in bright red suede, which retail for $865, and Louis Vuitton Idylle Flower Diamond Earrings. View Deal Later that night, Princess Charlene changed into a floor-length white gown featuring silver hardware to attend a gala dinner in honor of the Grand Prix. One thing is certain: whether she's wearing sneakers or evening gowns, Charlene remains a royal fashion inspiration.

‘Not pretty': Williams driver Alex Albon speaks out after controversial Monaco GP battle with George Russell
Williams driver Alex Albon has admitted his tactics at the Monaco Grand Prix 'were not pretty' after a controversial move against George Russell ended in a penalty for the Mercedes. Russell experienced a horror weekend in Monaco after dropping out of Qualifying due to a power failure in the Q2 phase. Lining up 14th on the grid, Russell's hopes of cobbling together a points-paying position were dashed by both Williams cars, who tactically slowed to create a jam on Monaco's tight turns. Initially stuck to the rear of Carlos Sainz's car, and later Albon's, Russell grew so frustrated with the situation that he cleared Albon by driving straight over the Nouvelle Chicane. A furious Russell refused to give back the position and was handed a drive through penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage. The Mercedes driver, who is sitting fourth in the 2025 driver's championship, ultimately crossed the line just outside the points in 11th. Meanwhile, Albon and Sainz crossed ninth and tenth respectively, earning three precious points for midfield team Williams. 'Today isn't how either Carlos or I want to go racing; it's not pretty but, in the end, it was a tactical game, and we had to make it work,' Albon said in a statement after the race. 'The Racing Bulls did it first, and we knew if they started it, we had to match it. 'Realistically we lost the race on Saturday, and you pay the price here; you start where you finish and that was it. 'The weekend was a bit disappointing as it feels like we didn't maximise what we could have, but we've still come away with three good points for the team and we'll just keep chipping away at it.' Meanwhile, Team Principal James Vowles added to the chorus of calls for a 'review' of rules and regulations at Monaco, despite both Williams' drivers scoring points on Sunday. 'It's great to walk away with points with both drivers and brilliant to watch Alex and Carlos execute really strong teamwork to achieve that,' he said. 'We need to review the rules and regulations for Monaco, because racing like this feels wrong and I want us to be racing on performance and merit, and we're not quite there yet.' Despite a new mandatory two-stop rule being in place this year, the podium of the iconic Monaco Grand Prix predictably matched qualifying as Lando Norris gave McLaren its first win in the Principality since 2008. Monégasque local Charles Leclerc, who won the race last year for Ferrari, did his best to put some pressure on Norris but failed to pull out any tricks on Monaco's notoriously narrow streets. Aussie Oscar Piastri finished third, but his lead in the world championship has been slashed to three points while reigning world champ Max Verstappen finished fourth.

Everything to know about the Monaco Grand Prix: Dates, schedule, TV, streaming
Everything to know about the Monaco Grand Prix: Dates, schedule, TV, streaming Show Caption Hide Caption F1 sees value in Miami Grand Prix, extends contract until 2041 Safid Deen explains the value Formula One sees in the Miami Grand Prix and how they hope this race will help grow the sports fanbase in America. Monaco is the crown jewel of the Formula 1 calendar. Drivers were racing around the streets 21 years before F1's inaugural season in 1950. For decades, it's been a race every driver on the grid wants to win. The race is an anomaly. It's the only event on the calendar that doesn't have to meet the sport's 190-mile minimum race distance. It's the slowest race of the year by average speed (95-100 mph) as drivers make their way through the tight, twisting circuit with few, if any, overtakes. Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix highlights: Oscar Piastri leads McLaren 1-2 finish The 2024 Monaco Grand Prix had an early red flag which meant teams didn't need to pit at any point in the race. That made for one of the least exciting races of the season but featured a rarity in the event: a hometown winner. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc became the first Monégasque driver to win the event since Louis Chiron in 1931. Qualifying is everything in Monaco due to the lack of overtaking. Last year qualifying was a close battle between the Ferraris and McLarens in the top four places in qualifying. This year could be close again but between the McLarens and reigning world champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull. Verstappen won the most recent race, the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, his second victory of the season. That broke McLaren driver Oscar Piastri's streak of three consecutive wins. Piastri and Verstappen are tied for pole positions this season with three each through seven races. Verstappen could make it two wins in a row but the McLaren drivers may get back on top in the streets of Monaco. Here's what to know about the race. How to watch the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix There are multiple options for U.S. F1 viewers to catch all of the action from Monaco.

Our 15 favourite moments from the Ligue 1 season 😍 (3/5)
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇫🇷 here. It's time to talk about our favorites! Ligue 1 has come to an end this Saturday, May 17 (at least the championship part!). The 2024-2025 season has once again delighted us and made us want to highlight 15 players who have made us dream, for whatever reasons. Advertisement A little emotion and subjectivity, sometimes, doesn't hurt! Here are our three favorites (part 3). Maghnes Akliouche (Monaco) His fourth season in Ligue 1 is a new milestone. At 23 years old, the Monégasque midfielder is now a seasoned player whose technical finesse and elegance are appreciated. His regular performances and boldness on the ball make him a spectacular player that we can't wait to follow in the championship on weekends, and even on weekdays in European cups. Let's hope it lasts! Dilane Bakwa (Strasbourg) A revelation in the middle of a team that made a sensation. Dilane Bakwa surprised everyone this season. The Strasbourg left winger had a contrasting start to the season, frequently changing positions from the wing to midfield. Once integrated into Liam Rosenior's system, the former Bordeaux player became irresistible, particularly in big games. He will remain one of the key figures of this beautiful Strasbourg team that ignited the year 2025. Malick Fofana (OL) Another thrilling player from our beloved league of talents. At 20 years old, the Belgian gem was a bright spot in Lyon's sometimes cloudy sky. His technique, vision of the game, and dribbling stunned all observers of the championship. He finishes the season with a record of 5 goals and 4 decisive passes, and above all, an army of European admirers. Will we see him again on French pitches at the start of the season? We're keeping our fingers crossed!

Charles Leclerc's new fashion line — including his favourite hoodie
'Fashion has always been one of my passions. I've loved trying to express myself with the way I dress. I've always wanted, at some point in my life, to be involved in a fashion project.' Charles Leclerc, the Monégasque who races for the Ferrari Formula 1 team, is explaining why he is launching a collection of clothes and accessories under the banner of the famous prancing horse. 'Being a Ferrari driver for quite a few years now and seeing Rocco joining the family and opening a whole new part of Ferrari, embracing the lifestyle of it, was super interesting. We had a discussion about a collaboration.' Rocco refers to Rocco Iannone, the creative director of Ferrari, who joined the company in 2019 and is responsible for designing its fashion collections and developing all things non-automotive to do with the brand. • This article contains affiliate links that can earn us revenue 'The whole goal of it was to represent not Charles the driver but Charles the person,' Leclerc explains. In this respect the new collection is less catwalk and more streetwear, less red carpet and more chilling in your crib. Or motorhome. Leclerc is something of a reluctant superstar. Naturally reserved, he is unembarrassed about how much he loves his dachshund, Leo, and confesses to writing songs on a Steinway Model B piano. But fashion design is a passion, and he's been wanting to develop a collection for a while now. It just took Iannone to help make it a reality. 'This wardrobe is the perfect fusion of aesthetics, design and functionality, encapsulating both Charles's unique spirit and the essence of Ferrari,' Iannone says. 'Together we've crafted a sporty, contemporary look.' 'It was all new to me, so it was supercool to see behind the scenes of the fashion world,' Leclerc says. 'It [the collection] takes my feelings as its starting point — the things I feel most comfortable with. What are the colours that define me as a person? For me, it's blue, it's white, it's beige — colours which remind me of the Riviera and Monaco, places that are part of me.' Leclerc was born and bred in Monte Carlo, and the sunny Mediterranean municipality has clearly made its mark on the casual, laid-back style of the driver. 'Then, once you have done this,' he continues, 'it's all about the textiles. We continued the discussion with Rocco to come up with different techniques… like the way we've done the denim, for example.' Denim is key to the collection, and Iannone explains that this is where the two men really connect. In particular he talks of expressing the spirit of the Riviera through a tie-dye treatment applied to the denim that suggests clouds. As well as the denim jeans and jackets there is an entire wardrobe of staples here, drawn from what Leclerc likes to wear — T-shirts and sweatshirts with motifs that reference racing, trousers in cotton with ample pockets, parkas, tops that display the letter L in relief, fashioned from technical yarns, and even styles that mimic driver racing suits. But it is the hoodie that seems to be the favourite of both the F1 pilot and the creative director. Iannone calls it the collection's hero product, and Leclerc says the beige zip-up hoodie best represents his personal style. 'I've always felt particularly comfortable with hoodies, and more so recently,' he explains. The appeal is not just aesthetic. 'F1 is on the global stage and my life has changed a lot from ten years ago when I was just a 'normal' person. The hood is a way for me to hide, to protect myself and be a bit more discreet.' He also likes the colours: 'It's a colour palette I love to wear.' As well as beige, the collection employs navy, light blue and white. All pieces carry the Ferrari x Charles Leclerc label that features the white and red of the flag of Monaco. To complete the offer there are accessories including sunglasses and baseball caps, as well as sneakers and driving gloves. Three handcrafted limited edition travel trunks are also available, in brown leather and with jacquard linings. One is a portable wardrobe to hold clothing, one a case for a crash helmet and a smaller one carries sunglasses and watches. There's also a new version of the Nello, the Ferrari Tool Case bag, in the same leather as the three luggage pieces, which is decorated with metal bolts. Intriguingly, it's not only human customers that the young driver has in his sights. Leo the dachshund has not been forgotten. As well as a Ferrari x Charles Leclerc collar and lead, your pet can have a hoodie like your own from the collection. Now that's what we call a total look. The Ferrari x Charles Leclerc collection is available at at the Ferrari boutiques in Maranello, Milan, Rome and Miami, and at the Ferrari pop-up at the Fairmont hotel in Monte Carlo
