As far as stylish royal occasions go, the Rose Ball is the cream of the crop. Created by Princess Grace of Monaco in 1954, the annual event takes place every March and provides an opportunity for international high society individuals to gather in an ambience of "radiance and festivity" and, naturally, dress to the nines.
Since the charity celebration was set up by the former silver screen star, it has blossomed into quite the must-attend occasion among the global elite. This year's celebration, held at the Salle des Étoiles of the Sporting Monte-Carlo, is the 67th edition of the annual event and centred around the theme of 'Bollywood', as selected by the Princess of Hanover.
