Grace Kelly’s granddaughter, Camille Gottlieb, brought vibrant summer style to the 77th Monaco Red Cross Gala on July 18, 2026. She arrived at the Sporting Monte-Carlo in a pale yellow Elisabetta Franchi gown.
Gottlieb walked the red carpet alongside her uncle, Prince Albert II, and her aunt, Princess Charlene, who wore a striking asymmetrical gold gown.
A Milestone for Princess Charlene
The evening held personal weight for Princess Charlene. The 2026 gala marked exactly two decades since she first attended the prestigious event.
Her initial appearance 20 years ago served as her formal introduction to Monaco’s elite social scene.
Today, Prince Albert and Princess Charlene preside over the gala as president and vice president of the Monaco Red Cross. The annual benefit raises critical funds for emergency response, community assistance, and first-aid education.
International Dignitaries and Stars
Gottlieb, the daughter of Princess Stéphanie, stood out against the traditional black-tie attire in her understated yellow silhouette. Meanwhile, Charlene’s metallic gold design offered a modern, dramatic contrast suited for the high-profile occasion.
The exclusive guest list brought together international leaders, royalty, and entertainers:
- Kate Forbes, president of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
- Caroline Cross, president of the French Red Cross
- Grand Duke George Romanov, heir to the Russian Imperial House, and his wife, Victoria Romanovna
- Monaco’s Minister of State, Christophe Mirmand, and his wife, Catherine
- French actress and model Estelle Lefébure
- Actor and director Michel Boujenah
Immersive Experiences and Michelin-Starred Dining
Organizers introduced fresh elements for the 77th edition. Guests were greeted by an immersive 360-degree experience inside the Sporting Monte-Carlo lobby before moving to the main dining room.
Dinner was served in the famed Salle des Étoiles. Three-Michelin-starred chef Marcel Ravin designed the menu with the Sporting’s culinary team, while renowned pastry chef Cédric Grolet crafted the dessert.
Following a traditional raffle with four luxury prizes, attendees watched a spectacular fireworks display light up the Mediterranean sky.
The evening featured a headline performance titled SOUL! Where Legends Come Back. The original production traced the evolution of Black American music from rock ’n’ roll to contemporary R&B.
Afterward, the celebration moved to Jimmy’z Monte-Carlo, which organizers transformed into an intimate jazz speakeasy for the night.
A Gift of Resilience
Contemporary artist Johan Creten marked the occasion by donating his sculpture, Éloge de l’Espoir, to the Monaco Red Cross.
The piece, part of his acclaimed Odore di Femmina series, symbolizes resilience, strength, and humanitarian hope.
