But what real character owns the most expensive wardrobe of the 2022?

The princess showed around 105 new pieces of clothing throughout 2022, with the average price per piece of 11,377.56 euros – winning the title of leaders.

Last year, the Monegasque royal returned to Monaco after a period of malaise that began in 2021, which led her to spend an extended stay in South Africa before returning to the Principality for the final months of recovery.

Between most iconic moments remember: Terrence Bray’s dress at the Monte Carlo Fashion Awards in May, the dress green in the Greek style by Lanvin for the Monte Carlo TV Festival in June and the ice blue dress by Prada for a charity ball in July.
