The Monaco Grand Prix, the Rose Ball and the Red Cross Gala: the Monégasque social calendar’s trifecta of prestige. Serving as the pinnacle of black tie elegance, Monaco‘s Red Cross Gala — or the Gala de la Croix-Rouge Monégasque, in French — is the yearly flagship fundraiser for the Monaco Red Cross, which, from 1958 to 1982, was presided over by none other than Grace Kelly, Princess of Monaco. Cut to the evening of July 18, 2026: Even without the Oscar-winning movie star’s physical presence, the Old Hollywood glamour at the 77th annual charity ball was palpable.

What happened to the iconic Hitchcock Blondes

What happened to the iconic Hitchcock Blondes

Tippi was a Hitchcock Blonde twice, appearing in The Birds and Marnie, which were released in 1963 and 1964, respectively. While Tippi played damsel in distress Melanie Daniels in The Birds, she had a more complex character in Marnie, playing Marnie Edgar, opposite the late Sean Connery. Despite enjoying her work on Marnie, Tippi endured a difficult working relationship with Alfred Hitchcock, explaining in 1973: “He was too possessive and too demanding. I cannot be possessed by anyone. But, then, that’s my own hangup.” Her co-star, Diane Baker later recalled that the director would prevent her from seeing anyone else while on set. Following an explosive argument, the director stopped her from acting for two years, keeping her under contract without giving her any roles. She made her return in 1967’s A Countess from Hong Kong, which was Charlie Chaplin’s final film, and she also made appearances in Satan’s Harvest, Roar, Dream On and The Ghost and the Whale, which was her final film appearance. Tippi, now aged 96, is also known for her animal …

When Grace Kelly Married Rainier III, Through the Eyes of Princess Caroline of Monaco

When Grace Kelly Married Rainier III, Through the Eyes of Princess Caroline of Monaco

Princess Caroline of Monaco certainly wasn’t going to miss the opening of Mariage du Siècle, the exhibition at the Prince’s Palace in Monaco dedicated to the ultimate royal wedding: that of her parents, Prince Rainier III and Grace Kelly 70 years ago. Caroline wandered through the Palace’s exhibition halls alongside her daughter, Princess Alexandra of Hanover, and her brother, Prince Albert II of Monaco in a necklace steeped in sentiment. Caroline paired her all-white ensemble, a classic blouse and embroidered skirt by Chanel, with a heart-shaped pendant. The golden heart, dotted with small embedded gemstones is inscribed with the names of her parents — Grace and Rainier — along with her own, Caroline. Intertwined among the three is a large “R”: her father’s initial, and the letter shared by all three names. The exact origins of the pendant, worn on a thick gold chain, are unknown. Some claim it was a gift from Rainier III and Grace Kelly to celebrate the birth of their first daughter, but there is no historical evidence to support this. …

Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier of Monaco Were Married 70 Years Ago Today. Here are 10 Things You Might Not Know About The Wedding

Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier of Monaco Were Married 70 Years Ago Today. Here are 10 Things You Might Not Know About The Wedding

The term “fairy tale” is often used to describe the love story between Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier III of Monaco, and it is not an exaggeration. The movie diva and the heir to the Monegasque dynasty swore eternal love to each other seventy years ago today, resulting in one of the twentieth century’s most legendary bonds. He, of blue blood, was considered Europe’s most coveted bachelor; she, an icon of elegance and muse of Alfred Hitchcock, had already won an Academy Award. Their gazes famously met for the first time on the Croisette in 1955, and from that moment on, nothing was the same. At that time, however, neither of them had a truly stable romantic situation. Grace was dating Jean-Pierre Aumont, while Rainier was involved with actress Gisèle Pascal. A few months after their first meeting, however, Rainier asked for Grace’s hand in marriage, with an extraordinary engagement ring embellished with a 12-carat diamond. With that, Grace decided to abandon her blazing career in Hollywood and move to the small principality of Monaco. …
