On the eve of his 60th birthday, did Stephane of Monaco (completely) miss out?

Shoulder pads, sequins, necklaces and tops… The outfits are paraded before our eyes. And we’re delighted to discover Stephanie’s chic look in 1980s Monaco. Four decades later, the dresses of the princess who celebrated Thursday the 1st.^eh on February 59^e birthday, have lost a little of their splendor. I wonder where the singer’s sleek hair, glamorous dresses, eyeliner, pumps and lip gloss have gone.Storm. All have given way to turtleneck sweaters, bare makeup, sweatshirts, and Rainier T-shirts. Desire, perhaps, to be more restrained. With a few clicks, we understand that in 2023, his looks could be counted on the fingers of one hand.

And we can’t help but wonder if he is trying to forget the former singer. Once a “modern” and “relaxed” princess for her bold looks, Stephanie of Monaco has since swapped her leather jackets, vintage jeans, sheath dresses and other statement pieces for more subdued, even simpler outfits. Therefore, we are surprised to see him in a red jersey and unbuttoned black pants, with round glasses on his nose, at a soccer match organized to raise money for his association on January 22. He then hugged his sister Charlene of Monaco, dressed in a long black jacket and laughed loudly for the cameras. A calm that finally puts a chip in our ears.

Simplicity on the rock

And we wonder if, on the eve of her 60th birthday, Stéphanie of Monaco just decided to let it go. On the balcony of the Prince’s Palace on November 19, 2023, the princess in a gray jacket, the same round glasses on her nose, does not hesitate to smile. Six months ago, for her father Rainier III’s birthday, she wore a white blazer … and a T-shirt emblazoned with words in her father’s honor. It seems like a long way to go, the time of “Hurricane” Stephanie of Monaco. On January 21, he appeared in a black shirt decorated with white elephant patterns. The next day, he appeared on the red carpet of the Fight Aids Cup Gala in a tight suit and red shirt.

We just saw her in an evening gown for the traditional Monaco Centennial Ball in October 2023. In short, Albert II’s sister has been looking grim recently. More precisely, he happily gives up tense smiles. Soon to turn sixty, the princess now plays the simplicity card. And we tell ourselves that after a lifetime of media storms, red carpets and royal scandals, Monaco’s Stefania deserved it after all. Thus, he abandoned his form of shelter to take refuge in the shadow of his Monaco duplex overlooking the port of Fontvieille, where he lives with his daughter Camille Gottlieb. We meet for an interview with a princess who trusts Gala that he does not miss his previous life with the circus performers.

grandma’s life

Today, “her animals, children and granddaughter” are at the center of her life, she continues. With disruptive looks, headlines for her love life and striking looks, Stéphanie de Monaco now prefers her life as a grandmother (son Louis Ducroix and Marie Chevalier welcomed daughter Victoire in April 2023) and ditches the rebel label. “Rebellious compared to what?” he replies Gala. I am not rebellious. I am always right. In my opinion, I have never done scandalous things. I just took life as it came.” Citing Rainier’s quote. “Animals don’t cheat,” he replies, “they cheat much less than people do…” Moral. Stephanie de Monaco intends to live as she sees fit, away from all judgment and prying eyes.
