This May, the glamour of the French Riviera reaches a new crescendo as Monaco’s most prestigious social tradition crosses the border into Cannes. On May 16, the iconic Hôtel Le Majestic will host the Grand Ball of Princes and Princesses Monte-Carlo, timed to coincide with the energy of the Cannes Film Festival.

The gala serves as a royal tribute to the Principality of Monaco and the enduring elegance of Grace Kelly. Under the theme “A Hollywood Dream in Royal Splendor,” the event seeks to unite the refined heritage of the Monegasque court with the cinematic brilliance that defines the Croisette.

An Immersive Universe of Elegance

The Grand Ball is designed as an immersive journey beyond reality. The evening will feature a majestic atmosphere characterized by exquisite gala dining and a refined scenography. Performances by internationally acclaimed dancers, musicians, and artists are set to transform the venue into a living masterpiece of art and emotion.

Gentlemen will appear in tuxedos, tailcoats, or ceremonial uniforms, while ladies are invited to wear opulent ball gowns adorned with tiaras.

A Legacy of Philanthropy

The splendor of the evening is matched by its mission of generosity. In keeping with the spirit of the event, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Princess Grace of Monaco Foundation. This contribution continues the late Princess’s legacy of supporting culture and humanitarian causes.

Gathering distinguished guests and lovers of excellence from around the globe, the Grand Ball of Princes and Princesses Monte-Carlo stands as a transformative experience. It represents an unforgettable night where the magic of Monte-Carlo meets the brilliance of Cannes, leaving an everlasting impression on the international social calendar.
