For the last few years, royal women have favored major statement earrings as their primary eye-catching jewelry. But for this weekend’s 57th annual Monte Carlo TV Festival, Princess Charlene of Monaco chose to make a statement with a major necklace instead.

With a striking red gown, Charlene posed with actors from the world of television (including Matt Bomer and Anthony Anderson) wearing a beaded cross necklace. In some photos, the beads look pearly, but I’m not sure whether they’re actually pearls.
