If you think you need all-black separates to look chic, Princess Charlene of Monaco just proved you wrong — way wrong. Charlene stepped out for Monaco's National Day, alongside Prince Albert and their children, wearing a full-on plum outfit. But she didn't just stop at her Akris dress, shoes, and netted hat. Princess Charlene flaunted the shade from head to toe, pulling the sleeves of her textured, asymmetrical dress over a pair of purple Akris gloves and slipping her satin shoes into purple tights.
Finishing her ensemble with a pair of diamond stud earrings, delicate gold bracelets, and her badge of honor, Charlene appeared regal, demure, and fashion savvy — like she knows exactly what works for her. In fact, the princess was so confident in her look, she makes us want to try full-on plum, too. "Yes," we nodded to ourselves when we saw her. "This really is the perfect Fall color."
