Layer with a tunic like Princess Charlene in Akris
Princess Charlene of Monaco brought her style game to the Grand Prix with a unique black and pink look.
The Royal was decked out in Akris - including the long tunic, shorter tunic and trousers, but it all came together to create a well-suited ensemble for the big weekend. We love how the tunic really seems to lengthens her legs and creates a perfectly slender frame. We love this eccentric look for the princess!

The royal sighting comes more than a month after the prince, who was wearing a blue suit, was seen celebrating his 61st birthday in photographs shared on Instagram
Austrian Lauda, who achieved legendary status by coming back to win his last title after nearly burning to death in his Ferrari in 1976, passed away on May 20 in Zurich University Hospital.
British star Hamilton, who too upset to speak to the media earlier this week following the death of one of his idols, saw off his Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas by 0.086 seconds to nab pole position.
He was hounded practically all the way of the 78 laps by the terrier-like Max Verstappen, but the Brit held the Dutch pursuer off despite struggling for speed on softer tyres that caused multiple palpitations at Mercedes.
