Princess Charlene of Monaco debuted a new look as she stepped out today for the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix alongside other members of the Royal Family.
The former Olympic swimmer, 45, showed off a new hair do as she attended the annual motoring event, which is held on the Circuit de Monaco, with her husband Prince Albert.
In a bold move away from her trademark platinum crop, Charlene sported rich, shining dark auburn hair, still in her signature elfin short style.
The royal, who appeared deep in thought as she was photographed standing next to her husband, paired the dramatic new ‘do with a chic maxi dress in a full-length classic shift-style cut, featuring rainbow coloured stripes down the front.
Her locks were simply styled into a side parting, to show off her simple diamond studs, and her elegant make-up look comprising a fresh base and light brown smokey eyes.
