Gleaming Golden Hydrangeas for the Princess of Monaco in Germany

I’ve got one more summery throwback to share this week: a look back at a glowing appearance by the Princess of Monaco in a seasonally-appropriate pair of earrings.

At the end of June, Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco headed to Germany with their children, Hereditary Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, for the opening of the new Monaco area at Europa-Park in Baden-Württemberg. They were joined for the opening of the theme park section by Albert’s sister, Princess Stéphanie.

During the opening ceremony, Prince Albert delivered remarks, saying, “It is a great pleasure for all of us to see so many of Monaco’s iconic buildings here and, beyond that, to experience the spirit of our Principality, wonderfully recreated by the Mack family and their teams. Thanks to these exceptional achievements, many visitors will be able to discover here a little of what makes us unique.”

For the occasion, Princess Charlene wore a cool white dress with a pair of eye-catching golden floral statement earrings from Dior.

Here’s a closer look at the earrings from the company’s website. These are the Dioriviera Dior Tribales Earrings, made of gold-plated metal and white resin pearls. The website listing notes, “Inspired by the beauty of hydrangeas, the Dior Tribales earrings are inspired by Christian Dior’s passion for gardens.”

Princess Stéphanie also opted for a light summer outfit, wearing a jacket and matching trousers from the brand Mango for the theme park opening.

She accessorized with several diamond earrings, including small hoops, and a classic Cartier Love Bracelet worn on her left wrist.
