For the intimate moment with close family and friends, Charlene chose an unconventional outfit that included a pale blue strapless top, palazzo pants and a lace-trimmed single-breasted jacket, which she later removed at the Jean Michel Jarre concert that evening.
The outfit broke royal tradition due to its colour, as royal brides almost always wear white or off-white on their big day.
Created in collaboration with Karl Lagerfeld, the former Olympic swimmer said: “We wanted something to match the colour of my eyes.
“It is my creation and I’m proud of it. It’s feminine and keeps with tradition yet has a little twist that reflects my personal style.

Prince Albert described his and his wife Charlene’s wedding celebrations as a “wonderful journey” at a sparkling gala reception held at the Opera Garnier in Monte Carlo.
The groom praised his bride telling her, “[Marrying you] was the best decision I ever took.”
On Charlene’s second wedding day on July 2, the beautiful bride wore an off-the-shoulder Armani Privé silk gown, which took three seamstresses 2,500 hours to make and featured 40,000 Swarovski crystals and 20,000 mother-of-pearl teardrops.
