Charlotte Casiraghi has grown up with Chanel. Her mother, Princess Caroline of Hanover, the eldest daughter of Princess Grace and Prince Rainier III of Monaco, was a close friend and muse to the fashion house s late, great, creative director, Karl Lagerfeld, often taking her beautiful daughter with her to his shows and parties. When Casiraghi was a teenager, the multi-talented designer and photographer took her picture for his book
The Little Black Jacket: Chanel s Classic Revisited by Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld, with Casiraghi following in her mother s footsteps, sitting front row at Chanel shows and dressing head-to-toe in the latest collections. Now, she s set to become Chanel s Ambassador for 2021 - a fitting title for such a devoted fan.

Writing about royal style is my job, yet I rarely actually want to wear something that a Princess or Duchess has been seen in. But Charlotte Casiraghi’s Saint Laurent civil wedding ceremony dress from 2019 - a mini lace shift adorned with bows - is an exception; it’s the first picture which I show anyone who enquires what my (delayed due to Covid) bridal look might be.
Charlotte, the granddaughter of the late Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier of Monaco and daughter of their eldest child, Princess Caroline, is the perfect kind of modern royal style icon.

Buccellati’s Hawaii collection is proof that good design never goes out of style. Celebrated for its simplicity, the collection is made with threads of gold that are twisted into lightweight circles and assembled in loosely linked earrings and necklaces.

These instantly recognizable pieces are exactly the kind of effortless jewelry women want today, but, in fact, Mario Buccellati crafted the design in the 1930s. The pioneering Italian jeweler had a love of ancient goldsmith techniques, which he used in remarkably modern fashions that resonate nearly a century later.
