She’s known for her elegant style and looking picture perfect for royal engagements.

So Princess Charlene of Monaco, 40, looked right at home mixing with the fashion crowd as she attended the Akris show as part of Paris Fashion Week on Sunday.

The Zimbabwe-born royal donned a chic lace black dress with a black leather biker jacket on top for the occasion.

The royal, who is mother to three-year-old twins Gabriella and Jacques, appeared without her husband Prince Albert, 60, at the glitzy event.

Charlene wore her trademark blonde looks in a sleek bun to show off a stunning pair of diamond earrings.

Her lace dress was a little more risque than usual as it featured a sheer hem that flashed a peek at Charlene’s long legs.

It also had a high neckline and sheer chest that flaunted just a glimpse of skin. 

Charlene carried a plain black clutch bag and matching back heels to tie her outfit together.
