The most elegant event of the Monaco season, the Red Cross Gala, took place on Friday, July 19, in the Salle des Étoiles at the Sporting Monte-Carlo. Leading the event were Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene, both dressed in white. Also present was Camille Gottlieb, who is actively involved in this organization founded in 1948, aimed at raising awareness and carrying out humanitarian prevention actions.

This 75th edition featured the traditional raffle, hosted by TV presenter Tatiana Silva and athlete Thaïg Khris. "I was proud to present this gala, especially when you consider the names of my predecessors. It was a mix of fear, adrenaline, and responsibility," admitted the former world roller champion to Monaco Info.

The 800 guests, including members and donors of the Red Cross, enjoyed an exceptional dinner orchestrated by the culinary and sommelier teams of Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer. After watching archival footage and a magnificent fireworks display, the evening concluded with a concert by the band Jamiroquai, led by singer Jay Kay. In one word: wow!
