It has also earned reputation as a stylish event, as Gabriella and momPrincess Charlenehave taken to its casual, informal fashion. In past years, the twins have shown up in matching outfits or in local folklore costume, but this year clearly marks an adorable change of fashion direction for the princess, who turns 5 in December.
Earlier this year, Gabriella made headlines forchanneling her grandmother, Princess Grace, in a floral dress.The adorable 4-year-old royal stepped out with her parents, Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco, and twin brother Prince Jacques on Friday to open the “Princess Charlene walk” at the Monte-Carlo Complex. She wore a black floral dress, spicing up her outfit with a leather jacket and sunglasses.
The flowery skirt was reminiscent of Princess Grace’s well-known ensemble, which she wore on the cover of the March 1955 issue ofMcCall’s magazine.

With music, a Palladian dance troupe, mass and a vast assortment of local delicacies such as socca (pan fried chickpea crepe) and Monaco’s own fougasse (an anise and nut biscuit), the evening has become the most advantageous spot in the calendar year to see the royal twins up close.
Next up for the royal twins? It’s back to school as classes start this week in Monaco.
In an interview with French magazinePoint de Vue,Charlene said her kids “love school.”
The twins began attending classes last September and “Gabriella even gets up even on Saturdays because she wants to go and is very disappointed when told that there is no school that day.”
