Charlene of Monaco attends Princess Grace Awards

Princess Charlene of Monaco dazzled in shimmering purple gown at an event held in honour of her late mother-in-law, Grace Kelly. 

She joined husband Prince Albert II of Monaco at the Princess Grace Awards Gala in Beverly Hills on Wednesday night. 

The statuesque blonde, who was presented with a pretty bouquet by a little girl on the red carpet, mingled with the likes of Sex and the City star Kristen Davis, Titanic actor Billy Zane, and heiress Chloe Green and her ‘hot felon’ boyfriend Jeremy Meeks at the glitzy event.

Prince Albert was dapper in a tux as he escorted his wife of six years into the Beverly Hills Hotel for the event, held by the Princess Grace Foundation, which was founded by Albert’s father Prince Rainier III to honour the legacy of his screen icon wife. 

The non-profit supports emerging talent in the worlds of theatre, dance and film.  

The Monegasque royals were snapped rubbing shoulders with an array of glamorous guests at the event, including former astronaut Buzz Aldrin. 

Aldrin, who was the second man to walk on the moon, greeted Princess Charlene warmly at the event.

But the royal’s biggest smile was reserved for the little girl who presented her with a pretty bouquet of flowers upon arrival.
