The Rose Ball 2024 in Monte-Carlo, organized in support of the Princess Grace Foundation and presided over by H.S.H. the Princess of Hanover, will take place on Saturday, March 23, at the Salle des Étoiles of the Sporting Monte-Carlo.

The prestigious charity evening of the Rose Ball has been held in Monaco for almost 70 years, representing the opening event of the year in the Principality. Beyond being a highly anticipated gathering for the public, it is followed by journalists and attracts major stars and prominent personalities. Let’s explore this unmissable VIP event that captures attention every year.

The Most Glamorous Event of the Year: The jet set and celebrities make their entrance amidst flashes of photographers. The Rose Ball is indeed the meeting point for prominent personalities, with the Monegasque princely family in the forefront. Founded in 1954 by Princess Grace, the event is now presided over by her daughter, H.S.H. Princess Caroline of Monaco. The evening sees the participation of members of the Grimaldi family and international stars from cinema, music, sports, and entertainment, such as Dita Von Teese, Naomi Campbell, Carla Bruni, and Pedro Almodovar.

On the Red Carpet: Evening gowns for women and black-tie for men constitute a dress code that astounds every year. Participants distinguish themselves with sophisticated outfits, often inspired by the theme of the evening, recalling a specific culture or era. The looks of the princely family, especially Charlotte Casiraghi and Beatrice Borromeo, who have become fashion icons, are among the most observed.

A Grandiose Show: Each edition culminates in a unique spectacle conceived by a prominent name in the artistic scene. After Karl Lagerfeld, Christian Louboutin brought his flamboyant style to the Bollywood-themed event in 2023. Dance, music, and enchanting scenography adorned with thousands of roses transport guests into a dreamlike universe. The Salle des Étoiles of the Sporting Monte-Carlo provides a magnificent setting for this event.

Prominent Artists in the Spotlight: Distinguished guests, including famous singers and DJs, contribute to the prestige of the Rose Ball. Mika was the protagonist of the 2023 edition, while in previous years, performers like Imany, HollySiz, Rita Ora, Lily Allen, Mark Ronson, and the legendary Jimmy Cliff have graced the stage. Renowned dancers, such as Jérémy-Loup Quer from the Paris Opera, and authoritative orchestras like the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra or the Prague Concert Philharmonic, add their talent to this grandiose spectacle.

An Exceptional Dinner: The evening program includes a refined dinner, a show, and the opening of the ball. Dishes, prepared according to the evening’s theme, are served on elegantly set tables. Guests savor a high-quality menu curated by Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer.

A Charity Evening: The Rose Ball is a flagship charity event organized in support of the Princess Grace Foundation, presided over since 1982 by Princess Caroline of Monaco.
