Princess Charlène of Monaco (45) made her first appearance in over a month when she took part in the 74th Red Cross Ball with her husband Prince Albert II (65) on Saturday evening.
The recently brunette princess exuded a lot of glamor in a white beaded high-necked dress with long transparent sleeves in the Salle des Etoiles of the Sporting Club in Monte-Carlo. She also smiled relaxed. She completed her bridal ensemble with dramatic diamond earrings and a chic white clutch. Prince Albert also looked very elegant in a white blazer paired with navy blue trousers and a red bow tie.
The couple was also joined by Albert’s niece, Camille Gottlieb, 25, who wowed in a purple sequined tulle gown by Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad. The daughter of Princess Stephanie (58) wore diamond-studded hoop earrings.
As can be seen in other photos, Charlène also brought part of her family with her. Her brother Gareth Wittstock took part in the traditional event with his wife Roisin.
The Monaco Red Cross was founded in 1948. In the same year, the first ball was held, which grew into one of the largest charity events in the world. Prince Albert is the President of the Monegasque Red Cross, his wife the Vice President. Camille Gottlieb has headed the youth department since 2021.
The 800 guests were not only invited to donate to a good cause, according to a local site, they were also offered a few hits by British pop star Robbie Williams (49) – and to top it off, a huge fireworks display.
The royal couple of Monaco last appeared together in public in June. Together with their children, the twins Jacques and Gabriella (8), they waved from the Prince’s Palace in Monte Carlo on the occasion of St. John’s Eve.
