Princess Charlene looks breathtaking as she and Prince Albert honour Robert Redford at Monaco gala

Princess Charlene dazzled in Dior as she and her husband, Prince Albert, honoured acting icon Robert Redford at a Monaco gala.

Robert, pictured in 1960 on the left, has starred in classics like Out of Africa, The Great Gatsby and The Way Were Were.

The 79-year-old and his wife will also get a $25,000 grant to give to the philanthropic organisation of their choice.

The couple were all smiles as they celebrated with recipients Robert and his wife, Sibylle Szaggars, at the annual Princess Grace Awards Gala.

Princess Charlene smiles as she chats to American socialite Lynn Watt, who glimmered in a metallic gold floor-length gown.

While Dior sponsored the awards, it was Princess Charlene’s stunning outfit by the French luxury label that was the night’s show stopper.

The mum-of-two oozed sophistication and channelled Grace Kelly’s timeless style is a short-sleeved black gown with red sequin detailing.

Recently, the former South African swimmer has shown the world a new side of her, as Charlene has been coming out of her shell and delivering several moving speeches.

The royal couple, who welcomed twins last year, couldn’t contain their PDA as they watched on.

Robert and his wife were both honoured to win. The award recognises a leader in the arts who’s accomplishments also include service to the community.

A well deserved night-off for the parent of twins! That’s some serious affection!
