My Fashion Week outfits are always purpose-driven: I need to be able to get around quickly, stay moderately comfortable, and, you know, walk. These necessities don't touch women like princesses, making it especially intriguing to see the outfits they put together. This is Clotilde Courau, French actress and Princess of Venice and Piedmont, and for the Dior couture show, she picked a black-and-white look of high boots, snowy outer vest, turtleneck mini, and classic Lady Dior bag.
For a Missoni store opening happening the same week, she picked this texture-happy coat. Seriously, don't you just want to feel that thing?
Here's what was under that topper. The long-sleeve style itself is something I could see on any of my other favorite royals (Kate Middleton, Princess Mary), but it's the finishing touches that make it so Fashion Week. To note: the casually messy bun and black ankle boots.
Clotilde became a princess when she married Emanuele Filiberto, whose grandfather was the last king of Italy, in 2003. "I married a man I love, and a man who is also someone public and has a story," she told Vanity Fair. "I'm very respectful to that side of his life, and of course it's fascinating to meet interesting people, but the Italian monarchy doesn't exist anymore, so we work like men and women should."
