The tweed ensemble cinched at the waist and was accessorised with a string of opulent pearls.
Adding a romantic flair to her look, the mother-of-two styled her blonde tresses in curls and went for a dewy make-up look, adorned with lashings of blush.
She and her husband exchanged fond glances at the sports event, where they also posed with Spain's Carlos Alcaraz - who celebrated with a celebrated with the trophy after winning the Monte Carlo Masters alongside runner-up Italy's Lorenzo Musetti.
It's been a busy week for Charlene, who had her own mini me on Wednesday as she and her daughter stepped out wearing matching brown tweed ensembles.
The Princess was visiting les Côtes-d'Armor in France with Albert and their 10-year-old twins Gabriella and Jacques when she donned the stylish look.

During their trip, the family were given a tour of Matignon, a coastal town which sprung up in the 11th century around a castle built by the lord of Matignon.
For the outing, Charlene donned a trouser suit featuring a double-breasted brown tweed and matching wide legged trousers.
She matched the suit with a black roll-neck top, and pointed kitten-heeled pumps with a bow detail.
Charlene finished her look with a fresh make-up look, pairing a clear base with peach blush, very light smokey eye, and pink lip.
Her blonde locks were styled into a low ponytail, with a side parting, and loosely curled tendrils.
Meanwhile, Gabriella wore a coat made in a similar brown tweed fabric. Hers featured a velvet detail on the lapels. She paired it black tights and flat black loafers.

Like her mother, the 10-year-old also opted to wear a simple high-necked black top.
Meanwhile, Prince Albert was dapper in a blue suit, which he paired with a crisp white shirt, blue tie, and black shoes.
Jacques echoed his father's ensemble, also sporting a blue suit - though his was a darker hue - pairing it with a white shirt and blue tie.
During the engagement, the family of four were accompanied by Mayor Jean-René Carfantan and Hervé Berville, Ancien Secrétaire D’état.
They were snapped unveiling a commemorative plaque as part of the outing.
Princess Charlene is often spotted in chic looks and expensive jewellery - but one piece she's often seen without is her dazzling three-carat engagement ring. However, today she appeared to be wearing the precious gem.
The former Olympic swimmer married Prince Albert after he proposed with a handcrafted pear-cut diamond flanked by smaller diamonds designed by Paris-based Italian jeweller Repossi.
Later, during the wedding service, the couple exchanged 18-carat white gold platinum rings by Cartier, with Princess Charlene laughing as she placed the ring on her husband's finger.

But since her wedding day, the royal has often gone without either ring - and on occasion even worn different rings on her wedding finger.
In the early days of marriage, the royal was often spotted showing off the dazzler, but since 2017 she's seldom been seen pictured wearing the rings - even at formal events.
In recent years, the princess, who is originally from Cape Town, and her prince have been forced to deny rumours over the state of their marriage.
French magazine ROYAUTÉ claimed in March 2023 that the couple were in the process of separation - a rumour which gained momentum when the article was repeated by gossip sites, which sparked speculation on social media.
The Palace's press office said they 'formally deny the malicious rumours peddled by the magazine'.
A spokesperson said: 'I would like to formally deny the malicious rumors peddled by the French magazine Royauté. Please disregard this article which is totally unfounded.'
There have been reports of a rift between the Prince and Princess ever since their high-profile marriage.
At the time, Charlene was dubbed the 'Runaway Bride' by the French media after allegedly trying to flee before the wedding, but the reports were always denied.
The past few years have been particularly rocky for the couple, as they have been hit with rumours about their marriage and Charlene's own ill-health.
Albert was hit with a legal claim for cash by an alleged illegitimate child in December 2020, and soon afterwards Charlene shaved half her head in the style of a punk rocker.
There were allegations that Albert had fathered a love-child with an unnamed Brazilian woman during the time when he and Charlene were already in a relationship.
The woman said she met the Prince in a nightclub in Rio de Janeiro in 2004, and that their daughter, who is now a 16-year-old Brazilian schoolgirl, sent a handwritten note to Albert.
In turn, Albert's legal team branded the allegations 'a hoax, and they never went to court - prompting speculation that the case was settled privately.
The Prince has admitted fathering two other children out of wedlock – Jazmin Grace Grimaldi, who is the result of Albert's affair with an American estate agent, and Alexandre Coste, whose mother is a former Togolese air hostess.
Both children were struck off Monaco's line of succession in return for financial settlements.
Charlene first fell ill in South Africa in May 2021, during what was meant to be a 10-day visit.
Complications from a sinus operation led to her staying in her native country for 10 months, and there have been rumours about the state of her marriage ever since.
There had been claims by leading French media that Albert had signed an 'ultra-confidential contract' to pay his wife more than £10m a year to fulfil her Royal duties.
She returned to Monaco but was there for a matter of days before leaving for a Swiss treatment facility. The exact nature of her condition was not made public but Albert said she was 'exhausted'.
Photographs of their reunion were greeted with a hefty dose of scepticism by the French media.
Prince Albert said he was 'hurt by the vicious rumours' peddled about his marriage following his wife's absence and said that it's the 'most beautiful thing' to have her back with him.
Since her return, Princess Charlene has continued her royal duties and appearances with Prince Albert.
