Opting for classic Hollywood glamor, the South African royal made sure to wear a sparkly bodycon dress, which she paired with diamond earrings and bold makeup.
The royal added some festive glamor by wearing a red tartan suit to attend the Christmas lights last night.
Former Olympian Charlene, 45, attended the event with her husband Prince Albert II, 65, both of whom appeared to be in good spirits at the event. They were accompanied by Princess Stephanie of Monaco.
Mother-of-two Charlene was elegant and sophisticated, with her now signature blonde pixie cut neatly styled on the side.
And she added classic makeup to her old-school glam look.
Her fresh complexion was the epitome of health. She wore a classic cat eye, liquid black eyeliner, and voluminous eyelashes.
But the centerpiece of her elegant makeup was her lips, perfectly lined and filled with classic red.
Meanwhile, her husband was also dapper in a dark two-piece suit, which he paired with dress lace-up shoes and a dark jacket.
The couple smiled as they posed for photos together and with Monte-Carlo Societe des Bains de Mer (SBM) President Stéphane Valéry.
Parents Princess Charlene and Prince Albert did not appear to be accompanied by their eight-year-old children, twins Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella.

She once again opted for an Old Hollywood look, styling her blonde locks into curls.
Once again, she opted for a dramatic makeup look with long lashes and dewy blush.

Her husband, meanwhile, wore a traditional ensemble: a fitted black jacket and navy trousers.
The royals were presented with flowers and were photographed greeted by an adorable group of children dressed in traditional Monegasque costumes.
Monaco’s National Day is also known as Sovereign Prince’s Day, and the date of celebration is chosen by the reigning prince.
Traditionally, princes chose the day of the saint for whom they were named. But when Prince Albert inherited the title, he decided to choose the same day as his father, rather than St. Albert’s Day, which would have been November 15th.
It is usually celebrated with fireworks over the harbor the night before and a mass in Monte Carlo the next morning.
Earlier in the day, the couple donned patriotic clothing to celebrate Monaco’s National Day on Sunday, and their two children followed suit.
Charlene spent several weeks busy with public appearances and was spotted helping hand out gifts at the Monaco Red Cross Christmas event in early November.
The royal wore a navy blue wool vest as she joined Prince Albert and their 25-year-old niece Camilla Gottlieb at the Royal Palace in Monte Carlo for an outing.

Charlene looked relaxed as she handed out gifts to attendees at the event.
The annual charity giveaway is part of a series of events organized by the Red Cross in the run-up to Christmas in Monaco, with members of the royal family giving gifts to those in need.
Charlene guarded against the cold in a navy wool vest with leather lapels, which she layered over a black turtleneck jumper and trousers.
At the event, the royal family spoke with some of the Red Cross volunteers who took part in the gift distribution.
They also heard stories of vulnerable people stocking up on gifts ahead of Christmas.
