The Royal Monaco Family was out in force at the glamorous Rose Ball on Saturday night.

Every royal in Monaco and then some turned up for the oh-so-glamourous, annual Rose Ball held at the Monte-Carlo’s Club’s Salle des Étoiles on Saturday night.

The ball, which was created by Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco in 1954, brings both royals and members of high society together for one lavish celebration with the sole intention to raise funds for the Princess Grace Foundation. The charity aims to assist emerging talent in dance, film and theatre by awarding grants in the form of scholarships and apprenticeships.

Of course, all of Monaco’s finest dressed to the nines for the occasion, but one particular couple stood out amongst the rest.

Perhaps it was the bold, red gown, or maybe it was the palpable look of love on their faces, but it was Pierre Casiraghi and his new wife Beatrice that drew the eyes of all on the momentous evening.

Dressed in scarlet Giambattista Valli gown complete with a heavy, emerald pendant, the Italian heiress and her new husband stunned photographers as they arrived at the annual shindig.

Pierre’s sister Charlotte arrived solo, whilst his brother Andrea and his wife Tatiana Santo Domingo dazzled the crowds as a duo. And at just 16-years-old, Princess Alexandra made her Rose Ball debut in a stunning, blush pink gown by Chanel.

Noticeably missing was Princess Charlene of Monaco, who royal spotters expected spent the night at home with her two one-year-old children, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella.
