Excessive wealth, extreme emissions – and ecocide: what I learned at Europe’s big superyacht show

These yachts are highly popular with the ‘super-bourgeoisie’ – and getting bigger. Can anything be done to stop them destroying our seas?

Who knew? Apparently everyone did, apart from me: you don’t wear shoes on a superyacht. Now, about to step on to my first teak deck at the Monaco Yacht Show, I’ve got to take my trainers off, and I’m having a sock panic. Have they got holes? Do they even match? Do they smell?

To be honest, I’ve come dressed all wrong for Europe’s big annual superyacht trade exhibition. The code for men seems to be crisp and tucked in, blazers and chinos, navy and white, sculpted hair and designer sunnies. (I went colourful, loose, casual). For women, it’s something like Riviera elegance. Everyone – whether they’re Italian, French, English, German, American, exhibitors, buyers, brokers, charterers – seems to know each other. The international superyacht community seems to be a close-knit one, and I’m not part of it. Yet.

How Princess Charlene of Monaco's style has evolved, from her days as an Olympic athlete to a European princess

  • Princess Charlene of Monaco hasn't always been as fashionable as she is now.
  • Before marrying Prince Albert, Charlene was an Olympic swimmer representing South Africa.
  • Finding her "fashion feet" was a challenge, Charlene said — but now she's embraced daring looks.

When Princess Charlene married Prince Albert of Monaco in 2011, her life changed.

Once best known as an Olympic swimmer representing South Africa, she was reintroduced to the world as a princess.

The official Monaco royal website says she was born Charlene Lynette Wittstock on January 25, 1978, in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. At age 12, she moved to South Africa with her parents and her younger brothers.

There, she began forging a career as a swimmer, taking home several awards at the 1997 South African championship, including the coveted title of best female swimmer.

Charlene went on to represent South Africa at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. As fate would have it, her future husband, Albert, was there as a spectator — though the pair wouldn't officially cross paths until she visited Monaco for a swimming competition later that year. They eventually married and later had twins, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella.

However, marrying into a royal family came with certain lifestyle adjustments, including Charlene's sense of style.

From her days as an Olympic athlete to being one of the most recognized princesses around the world, here's a closer look at how Charlene's fashion has evolved.

In 2001, Charlene was still very much in her athletic era.

She was photographed in South Africa wearing a laid-back look that consisted of gray sweatpants, a navy-blue windbreaker, and Nike sneakers.

Later that year, she maintained her sporty style on the front cover of South African Sports Illustrated.

For the photo shoot, Charlene wore a sporty red tank top, white flared jeans, and a sailor hat. In keeping with the easygoing, nautical aesthetic of the shoot, she opted to go barefoot.

Charlene and Albert made their first public appearance as a couple at a 2006 F1 Monaco Grand Prix party.

For the big night, she wore a black floor-length gown that was elegant and a world away from Charlene's previous ensembles.

It featured a sweetheart neckline and a long skirt with a lace-lined slit that reached her knees.

She paired the gown with silver drop earrings and a matching clutch.

Charlene brushed shoulders with fashion heavyweights like Karl Lagerfeld at the 2007 Monaco Red Cross ball — but she went on to regret her look.

For her first appearance at Monaco's annual Red Cross Ball, Charlene wore a sparkly, semi-sheer, backless ball gown that she borrowed from a friend, she told Tatler in 2010.

Reflecting on the look, Charlene wasn't exactly fond of her choice. "I looked like a Christmas tree," she said.

"I was used to living in a swimsuit and totally clueless about fashion. The day of the ball, I had been playing volleyball all day on the beach and didn't think about getting ready until late in the afternoon," Charlene added.

In a separate interview with Vogue before her 2011 wedding, Charlene remembered the outfit as one of her least favorites.

"Finding my fashion feet has certainly been the biggest challenge," she said. "I realize that my debut into Monaco society should have been better executed!"

Charlene ditched sparkly gowns for cargo shorts and a light-blue polo later that year.

For the event, she wore a black, strapless bustier top over asymmetric suit pants that featured a slit on the left leg. She accessorized with a sheer black scarf and a black clutch.

She tapped into the rock-and-roll theme of the 2009 Rose Ball with a bold hairdo and a black bejeweled gown.

For the official photographs that accompanied the big news, Charlene wore a colorful, floor-length dress.

The flowy blue-and-green gown was designed by Akris. It was backless and featured an elegant halter neck.

The official portraits also showed her sparkling engagement ring, which featured a three-carat, pear-cut diamond surrounded by smaller round jewels.

For the couple's civil marriage ceremony, Charlene collaborated with Karl Lagerfeld on her powder-blue ensemble, which perfectly complemented her eyes.

The ensemble, made of a blazer and palazzo pants, was both regal and reflective of Charlene's sporty aesthetic.

"It's feminine and keeps with tradition yet has a little twist that reflects my personal style," Charlene told Vogue. "I thought it was a nice change to go for trousers instead of a skirt, especially since I'm an athlete and have always kept my clothes clean and simple."

Later, for the grand religious ceremony, she dazzled in a custom-made Giorgio Armani gown that took 2,500 hours to make.

The designer told Vogue that the off-the-shoulder gown — which was made of Duchesse silk and silk organza — was covered in 40,000 Swarovski crystals, 30,000 gold stones, and 20,000 mother-of-pearl teardrops.

The look was completed with an intricate silk-tulle veil that took around 100 hours to embroider.

In 2012, the newlyweds made a dapper debut as a married couple on the Oscars red carpet.

The sleeveless Ralph Lauren gown featured a ruffled halter neck and a small train. She paired it with a simple gold bracelet.

While distributing Christmas gifts to children in Monaco in 2015, Charlene stood out in a beige cape jacket.

Charlene's shimmery, strapless pantsuit — which was designed by Versace — featured semi-sheer, palazzo-style pants.

She wore it with silver sandals, a metallic clutch, and diamond earrings.

She later attended Versace's Spring 2018 show in an asymmetric, chainmail minidress with several daring cutouts.

Charlene's hairstyle drew mixed reactions after the annual Christmas event in Monaco. Nevertheless, she told the French magazine Point de Vue that she didn't care for anyone else's opinion.

"This haircut was my decision," she said. "It seems that it has provoked all kinds of comments. But it turns out that I wanted it for a long time. The style pleases me. That's all."

In 2022, she returned to the F1 Monaco Grand Prix racetrack wearing a powder-blue jumpsuit.

The unique jumpsuit was designed by Terrence Bray. It featured a wide neckline, puffed bell sleeves, and pants so long they covered her feet.

She later put another unique spin on regal attire at a ceremony honoring Monaco National Day.

Ti ricordi… Mehmet Scholl, genio irriverente del Bayern: “Ho paura solo della guerra e di Oliver Kahn”

Irriverente, coi piedi e con la parola. Irriverente come un pallonetto tentato in una finale di Champions, che se non si fosse stampato sulla traversa avrebbe conteso a Zidane la palma di gol più bello. O come un’intervista politica rimasta memorabile per gli effetti tragicomici prodotti. Irriverente come Mehmet Scholl, nato Mehmet Yuksel esattamente 56 anni fa a Karlsruhe. Papà turco, mamma tedesca: le differenze negli anni 70 si fanno sentire, la coppia naufraga, e il padre di Mehmet torna in Turchia quando il bambino ha solo cinque anni.

La mamma conosce Herman Scholl e si rifà una vita, Mehmet gli si affeziona e ne prende il cognome. È proprio Herman ad accorgersi del talento del ragazzino vedendolo sui campetti della città: a tredici anni lo segnala al Karlsruher che lo tessera. A 15 anni si rompe un ginocchio, la prima persona che incontra in clinica è il medico che lo informa: “L’intervento è andato bene, ma non potrai più giocare a calcio”. Non andrà così: il Ksc lo aspetta e lo fa esordire tra i professionisti, all’87esimo in una gara contro il Colonia, il primo pallone toccato da Mehmet in Bundesliga vale il gol del 5 a 0. Intanto però Mehmet coltiva anche un’altra passione che mette sullo stesso piano del calcio: lo Sportkegeln (una variante tradizionale tedesca del bowling a 9 birilli) in cui diventa vice campione tedesco giovanile.

Nella stagione successiva diventa titolare: complici anche le strigliate di mister Schafer e di un altro prodotto delle giovanili, Oliver Khan, si fa ammirare per giocate e talento. Schafer lo riprende spesso per la sua indolenza in campo, ma non arriva dove riesce ad arrivare Khan, tant’è che Mehmet più in là dirà: “Ho paura solo di due cose nella mia vita: della guerra e di Oliver Khan”.

Nel 1992 Mehmet passa al Bayern Monaco. È il salto nel calcio grande, quello dove il talento da solo non basta più e servono le spalle larghe per sopravvivere a un ambiente spietato, una trincea di ego e copertine patinate comunemente nota come FC Hollywood. Tra spogliatoi pesanti e la pressione schiacciante della Baviera, Mehmet non perde mai il suo vizio peggiore e migliore: dire esattamente ciò che gli passa per la testa, con la stessa naturalezza con cui nasconde il pallone agli avversari. Quando la società distribuisce i soliti questionari di inizio stagione per l’annuario ufficiale e chiede ai calciatori di esprimere un pensiero politico, Scholl piazza una bomba ad orologeria: “Appendete i Verdi finché ci sono ancora alberi”. La sparata gli costa una denuncia per istigazione all’omicidio da parte di un deputato ecologista. La reazione del trequartista? Un capolavoro di spudoratezza: “Per chi voterò? Per i Verdi, ovviamente. Mica posso deluderli”.

In campo, intanto, la classe è cristallina. Vince otto campionati tedeschi – record condiviso proprio con l’incubo della sua giovinezza, Oliver Kahn – ma la maglia della Germania gli regala gioie dolcissime e beffe atroci. Nella finale di Euro 1996 a Wembley parte titolare, ricama calcio fino al 69′ e poi lascia il posto a Oliver Bierhoff: sarà proprio il centravanti a firmare la doppietta e il Golden Goal che incoronerà la Germania campione d’Europa. Due anni dopo, il destino gli presenta un conto nerissimo: durante un contrasto di gioco in campionato con Jens Jeremies, allora mediano del Monaco 1860, Scholl si procura la rottura del legamento crociato. Addio Mondiale di Francia ’98. Ma la beffa suprema, intrisa di quella tipica ironia tragica che ha segnato la sua carriera, arriva quando l’allora ct Berti Vogts decide di convocare per la spedizione iridata proprio il suo “carnefice”, Jeremies.

E poi c’è quella maledetta notte del 26 maggio 1999 al Camp Nou. Finale di Champions League contro il Manchester United, Bayern in vantaggio 1-0. Mehmet riceve palla al limite, vede Schmeichel fuori dai pali e inventa un pallonetto di un’eleganza celestiale: la sfera supera il portiere danese, vola morbida, ma invece di insaccarsi batte clamorosamente contro la traversa. Fosse entrata, sarebbe stato il 2-0 della sicurezza e un capolavoro da contendere per bellezza alla volee di Zidane. Invece la palla schizza via e nei tre minuti di recupero lo United ribalta il mondo. La ferita è enorme, ma Mehmet e il Bayern sapranno rimarginarla due anni dopo, a San Siro contro il Valencia, alzando finalmente al cielo la Coppa dalle grandi orecchie.

Rifiuta un’offerta dal Barcellona perché a Monaco sta troppo bene e perché considera folle scambiare la propria serenità per qualche milione in più. Segue i precetti del Buddismo, gioca a bowling, ascolta musica indie e vive il pallone per quello che è: un gioco bellissimo, ma pur sempre un gioco. Nel novembre del 1997, il destino gli presenta un conto lasciato in sospeso da vent’anni. Il Bayern vola a Istanbul per sfidare il Beşiktaş. Nella hall dell’hotel c’è un uomo che aspetta nell’ombra: è Ergin Yüksel, il padre biologico partito per la Turchia quando Mehmet aveva appena cinque anni. Dopo diciannove anni di silenzio, i due si ritrovano, si abbracciano e si spiegano. Ergin gli confessa di non essersi fatto vivo per non disturbare la sua crescita e la sua carriera. Mehmet non porta rancore: sorride, lo presenta orgoglioso alle telecamere tedesche e turche, e riannoda il filo spezzato dell’infanzia.

Un corpo troppo fragile continua però a tormentarlo. Alla viglia dei Mondiali casalinghi del 2006, oltre centomila tifosi firmano una petizione popolare dal titolo “Mehmet für Deutschland”. Chiedono a Jürgen Klinsmann di convocarlo, di regalare un ultimo ballo al poeta ferito. Klinsmann dirà di no, ma quel gesto vale più di una medaglia. L’ultimo atto va in scena il 15 agosto 2007 contro il Barcellona. Mehmet gioca con la solita grazia, regalando gli ultimi sprazzi di classe prima di avviarsi verso la panchina per la sua ultima sostituzione. Mentre il pubblico dell’Allianz Arena si alza in piedi per un applauso interminabile, a rilevare la sua maglia numero 7 entra Franck Ribéry.

È il passaggio di consegne definitivo. Scholl sfila i parastinchi, saluta il suo popolo e si congeda da un calcio che, da quel momento in poi, sarà indubbiamente più ordinato, più atletico e maledettamente più noioso. Perché di calciatori capaci di spiazzare un portiere con un tocco sotto ne trovi sempre; di uomini capaci di spiazzare il mondo con un sorriso e una battuta fuori dagli schemi molti meno.
