On July 18, 2022, Prince Albert, Princess Charlene and Camille Gottlieb attended the 73rd Monaco Red Cross Charity Gala Ball at Casino de Monte-Carlo. The Monaco Red Cross Charity Gala Ball is one of the most prestigious events in the Principality of Monaco and it is traditionally opened by an auction. Pop singer Alicia Keys performed at the event.

The Red Cross Ball in Monaco is one of the largest charity galas in the world. The gala was created in 1948 by Prince Louis II of Monaco and since that year, it has been organized as a fund-raising event.

  1. This is a beautiful gown, looks to be lilac in color? The embellishments are beautifully crafted, not overdone. I like the style of this gown. The Van C and Arpels necklace is beautiful, butterfly, diamond necklace, unusual, combined with her generous size stud diamonds. A splendid presentation, hair and makeup on point. Its wonderful to see Pss Charlene, looking relaxed and happy in her surrounds. She looks healthy and well, lovely to see.

    1. Have read on another site that Princess Charlene's dress is a creation by Prada.

    2. Charlene seems to be in a happy place. This gown looks absolutely beautiful. However, while she is dressed for the ball everyone else looks casual, Albert used to wear dinner suit for this event.

      Yes, beautiful dress - very elegant and "pure". Lovely jewellery. She looks young, fresh and stylish.

    Oh I love this dress on Charlene, especially the way it looks in photo #2. The icy blue colour and the embroidery is beautiful.
    I prefer the longer version of Camille Gottlieb's dress instead of the shorter version that she is wearing.

    1. I also like Charlene's dress, a very good choice. Regarding Camille the bottom part she chose is ok but the top is not flattering for her.

    I think Charlene's gown must cost a fortune, but maybe the best I have ever seen on a Royal. I hope the lower part stays in shape but the color looks so good on her. What can I say about Camille except she has a lovely face and nicely done hair?? The see-through dress is caliber circus or is she hinting on a dito job? Not as regal as aunty Charlene but maybe a style in full progress...?

      @Anna. Not nice to refer to the circus. She probably does not have the same budget as auntie Charlene and she is young she can still learn.

    What a beautiful look for P. Charlene. The dress is a lovely colour and she’s chosen some gorgeous jewelry. I prefer Camille’s dress with the long slip underneath as shown on the model. It seems a far more elegant look. Otherwise I think she looks great. (V.M.)

    What stunning look. This gown is in a way very simple but elegant. I must say she Pss Charlene wears it very well. The necklace is very nice, must be new. Camille looks very nice, not my taste but she is very young. josebabe

  7. Charlene looks like a million dollars, and Albert shows up in wrinkly white chinos?
    Camille is beautifully styled, but I wish she hadn´t altered the dress and left it at its original length.

      My 1st thought was the same. Here Charlene looks like a vision in her gorgeous Prada gown and Albert looks like he's going to spend the day on a boat or something, he just doesn't look like he's going to the same event. Camille's dress is fantastic too, but I do also prefer the longer length (but can see where the younger crowd would like it this way).

    Charlene looks amazing! Camille is a beautiful young lady, though the black skirt of the dress looks awkward in the short length. Looks better in its original state, as shown on the model.

    Princess Charlene looks gorgeous--what a stunning gown! How elegant and classically beautiful she is here.Camille Gottlieb has become a very beautiful young woman. While I am not a fan of her dress I can see how it appeals to young women--thinking Camille might be quite interested in fashion (not perhaps in being a designer like her sister Pauline) in terms of self-expression and fun--like some many young women her age.

    Princess Charlene looks so lovely and very suitably dressed for “one of the most prestigious events in the Principality of Monaco”. Great color, style, hair, makeup, bling -just perfect.
    Prince Albert looks like he is going to a different event. Change the white pants to match the jacket and add a grey, blue or even if it must be red, one with blue undertones to it, and he’ll be all set.
    For Camille I agree with the other post regarding the longer version of her dress. Not only do I think it looks better but I also think it would be more appropriate for this event. Otherwise she looks lovely (although I think a more bling bag would add a complimentary pop).

  12. Au bal de la rose,j'avais trouvé Caroline habituellement élégante, ainsi que ses filles et ses belles filles mal fagotées.
    A ce bal,Charlene est tout simplement sublime.
    La robe est simple mais magnifique.J'aimerai connaître le nom de son créateur ou créatrice.
    Son collier est splendide(excepté son diadème, collier ocean)je n'avais jamais vu un aussi beau bijou porté par une princesse ou une reine.
    La coupe à la garçonne lui va bien.
    Son maquillage est parfait.
    Cette femme a peut être beaucoup souffert suite à ses problèmes de santé ,mais j'ai toujours pensé qu'elle remonterait la pente car elle a été une sportive de haut niveau.
    Elle me semble aller mieux.Son sourire est discret.
    Albert peut être fière de son épouse.
    Quant à ce dernier,il est temps qu'il fasse un peu de sport et manger équilibré .
    Jolie robe portée par Camille.
    Elle est jeune:Je préfère donc la version courte pour une soirée.
    J'aime également ses accessoires.

    It already has been said : Charlene wow ! The dress is stunning. She has really good taste. The Van Cleef & Arpels necklace is a very beautiful piece of jewelry. Camille should have left the dress like on the model. I don't like her hairstyle and the shoes and purse don't go well with the dress. Should have been plain black. And then Albert. What was he thinking ? Wearing a very wrinkled pair of white trousers under a classic suit jacket and a red tie. Was he referring to the red cross or to Monaco or both ? He'd better worn a classic dark suit, white shirt and red tie.

    According to the French magazine Point-de-Vue The Red Cross Ball arrangement has been renewed: In earlier years it was a dinner and dance event inside the Sporting Club (and gentlemen in black tie). This year it contained an open-air concert at the Casino Place with a more free dress code (as can be seen how Albert is dressed).
    After two years without the ball (because of the covid) this year marks 40 years for Albert as the president of the Monaco Red Cross. Albert followed his mother princess Grace who passed away after the traffic accident in September 1982.

  17. Wouah, magnifique Charlène dans cette robe très rafraîchissante ainsi que les délicats petits clous et le collier Van Cleef & Arpels dont le papillon voudrait peut-être bien s'envoler !! J'adore sa coupe courte ; quelle continue sur cette lancée !

    What a beautiful dress. Princess Charlene looks simply wonderful I always love red but this ice blue suits her fair colouring perfectly. Camille looks good too until you get to the skirt of the dress. Why not go for the original and elegance? Thanks for info about the Ball, Margot. Even with a relaxed dress code Prince Albert could have done better ( think King Felipe or Crown Prince Haakon at smart casual events)

  19. I am afraid I do not like the attires at all. PC's dress is wrong for her athletic body type, imho. It flattens her breast and the cut of the neck and at the armpits makes her look more broad-shouldered than she already is. The butterfly is great in itself, but looks less visible with this dress than it deserves. Some sapphires would stand out more. As for Camille, we have seen her dressed better. Some one should look after PA's clothes, he needs a good dresser.

    Superb dress in an amazing blue colour and besutiful embroideries. She should wear this light blue more often cause her face is shining by it. On the contrary Albert looks awful. These trousers! And again his uniform the blue blazer. Why doesn't he wear Black Tie or a chique suit.

    P Char looks fabulous, absolutely fabulous!

    She is a person who looks equally lovely in solid bold colours (red, green, blue) as well as light tones and patterns. Like her fellow style chameleon, Q Leti, she can rock so many varied styles and vibes, and yet still retain a sense of self confidence. On my screen, this icy blue is quiet, elegant, and simply divine.

    I am fascinated by the gorgeous embroidery and will search for more info and details on the web. The VCA necklace is quite nice, but the bracelet is just next level. Also, her make-up team is, once again, on point with a colour story that suits her and this ensemble.

    Camille's dress is lovely and I understand the underskirt tweaks, though I would suggest that the underskirt stop at the next line down. That edit would give her 3 solid black sections and 2 sheer black sections. I think this would resolve the question of where to hem the underskirt and still give her look a funky, edgy vibe.

    Brava to both P Char and Camille!

  25. De méchantes langues ont laissé courir récemment que vous aviez financièrement négocié certaines de vos futures présences publiques auprès de votre époux. On ne peut empêcher de tels ragots de circuler. Mais, peu importe que cela soit fondé ou pas, votre présence quasi quotidienne auprès du prince, votre époux, est rafraichissante et nous repose un peu/beaucoup de certains membres de la fratrie monégaste qui ne doivent pas être très heureux de ce dénouement, auquel ils ne s'attendaient pas, il n'y a pas si longtemps. Bienvenue chez-vous princesse Charlene.
