Princess Charlene of Monaco has risen to royal style icon status, becoming a beacon of contemporary fashion inspiration for many with her power suits, glamorous gowns and choice of silhouettes that are at once elegant and a little fashion forward.
One of the most iconic features of her look is the 47-year-old's signature short blonde bob. As it's such a staple of her style, it's usually a sign that something major is on the horizon when she tries something new, such as Old Hollywood waves or a subtle dye job.
