Posts about fashion have been moved to Charlotte's fashion thread.
Lovely, "natural" photos from the @dailycharlottecasiraghi Instagram account. The account refers to Charlotte as "founding member of the philosophical meetings of Monaco" and "CHANEL Muse".
A muse is not a working staff. Just a source of inspiration. For sure she gets paid, but she is nor a regular salaree.CHANEL muse , what does that mean ?
She is not included in Chanel's Staff.
Carole Bouquet did better when she was invited at the State Dinner at Versailles. She should learn her "savoir faire " to her daughter in law for her public attendences.
I am surprised that Carole Bouquet attended the state dinner, I din't see any photos of her, just Hugh Grant, Charlotte Gainsbourgh and Mick Jagger (where I wondered a bit about that choice). I would have expected Catherine Deneuve or my favourite actress Isabelle Huppert.
But, we don't know, maybe they were invited but didn't have time or were ill.
Regarding Charlotte, she is often critiziced for her official attitude, but I think she is just natural not posing a lot and more interested in her other ambitions such as her literary or philosophical discussions. I sometimes wonder why she is doing the fashion scene, which isn't really her ambition. She doesn't need the money, so why?
And why is she person of the year? What impactful thing did she do this year (that I don't know about)?

Charlotte has been interested in philosophy and literature since she was a child. Her "Rue Cambon" conversations feature important works by female authors that focus slmost exclusively on issues important to women.By putting these often often little known writers in the spotlight, she uses her name to help them become better known
Charlotte purchased the film rights to African author Scholastique Mukusanga's novel "Notre Dame du Nil" which focused on life at a Catholic boarding school for girls shortly before and during the Rwandan genocidal wars of the 1990's. She and Dimitri co-produced a film based on the novel shortly after their wedding in 2019.
All of these events have been covered/discussed in her thread here on TRF.
Unlike Tessy de Nassau, Charlotte never ever goes on IG to name drop and self promote. In her acceptance speech at the VF awards, she insisted on not discussing herself at all, but mentioned the authors and intellectuals that she has been inspired by.
I have often criticized Charlotte for coming off as precious and unrelatable.. And I am not asserting that there are no other women more worthy of being honored by VF. But I am more than satisfied to see Charlotte Casiraghi Rassam receive recognition for what she does.
