After two years of absence due to the health crisis linked to the coronavirus pandemic, the mythical Bal de la Rose made its big comeback on Friday July 8, 2002, in Monaco. Created in 1954 by Princess Grace of Monaco, it is a charity ball in favor of her Foundation which helps people in difficulty and underprivileged children. This new edition was able to count on the VIPs.
A raffle was then organized as well as the sale of “sculptures and paintings“as indicated by the official website of the Monte-Carlo SBM group. It is the eldest daughter of the missing princess, Caroline of Monaco, who is the president of her Foundation. Thus, as always, she and the members of the Monegasque princely family made remarkable appearances at the gala. And they were not the only ones since great personalities were also present at the social event.
This year, it is in particular Janet Jackson who was the distinguished guest. The 56-year-old singer and sister of Michael Jackson stood out in a long and chic black dress, accessorized with imposing jewelry, including a large silver necklace. Not far away, were also Fanny Ardant very elegant in a trapeze dress, the regular of the Ball Shirley Bassey, Stéphane Bern (who animated the tombola) and his young companion Yori Bailleres but also Sabrina Dhowre Elba, model and wife of the English actor Idris Elba.

Furthermore, it is Christian Louboutin which was highly anticipated on Friday evening. And for good reason, the famous shoe designer was entrusted with the artistic direction of the evening. He then chose to highlight the 1920s in the luxurious Salle des Etoiles at the Sporting Monte-Carlo, which he decorated. The event was also an opportunity for Christian Louboutin to inaugurate his exhibition entitled The Exhibition [niste]. It is a retrospective of the journey of the man who launched the shoes famous for their red soles. The exhibition was open to the general public from July 9 and will be on display until August 28 at the Grimaldi Forum Monaco.
