NAOMI CAMPBELL MANAGES TO UPSTAGE PRINCESS OF MONACO AT HER WEDDING RECEPTION IN EXTRAVAGANT WHITE GIVENCHY GOWN
She has made a career of modeling show-stopping outfits as a world famous catwalk super star. But you would have thought Naomi Campbell would have toned down her wardrobe for just one day and allowed the bride to take centre stage.
The supermodel donned an albeit stunning Givenchy gown for the official dinner and ball of the wedding of Prince Albert II of Monaco and Princess Charlene at the Opera Garnier last night.
With the civil and religious ceremony out of the way, it was time for the newly-weds to let their hair down and enjoy the party.
After dazzling everyone in an Giorgio Armani bridal gown, Charlene, 33, changed into an Armani Prive cocktail dress for the official reception and ball.
But it seems she was upstaged by Campbell whose white floor-length gown turned heads and put Princess Charlene’s slim line evening dress in the shade.
Namoi’s halter-neck cut-out dress was embroidered with dozens of green stones which she teamed with green earrings. Her hair was rather more simple and the supermodel left it fall around her shoulders.
Princess Charlene’s slim line gown included a sheer top and four tiered skirt, which she paired with white peep-toe heels and a tiny clutch bag.
The new Princess also wore her hair swept back, similar to the tight chignon she wore during the religious ceremony in the courtyard of the Prince’s Palace.
Her husband, 53, complemented his new wife in a cream jacket with his medals attached and black trousers.
Earlier in the day, Princess Charlene held her own as she walked down the aisle wearing a stunning wedding gown with a five-metre long train, embroidered with 40,000 Swarovski crystals and 20,000 mother of peal tear drops.
Although she appeared rather strained or nervous during the ceremony earlier that day, the former Olympian swimmer looked far more relaxed for the evening’s festivities.
Celebrated French-born chef Alain Ducasse prepared the multi-course dinner for 450 guests, which would take place on the seaview terraces of the Opera House.
