Monte-Carlo SBM Bal de la Rose 2024

Under the High Patronage of

H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco

Presided by

H.R.H. The Princess of Hanover

Imagined by

Christian Louboutin

This year, a charity event for the benefit of the Princess Grace Foundation have taken place on March 23rd 2024, Salle des Etoiles, as Sporting Monte-Carlo. H.R.H The Princess of Hanover, President of the Princess Grace Foundation, has chosen the theme "Disco" for the Bal de la Rose 2024 and has given her friend, Christian Louboutin, carte blanche to imagine the Monaco Disco Bal de la Rose.

A key figure in the fashion world, the shoe designer Christian Louboutin immediately accepted this friendly invitation to design the Disco ball, straight from the 1970s and 80s.

The Salle des Étoiles at Sporting Monte-Carlo has adorned itself in its finest sequins to pay homage to the greatest hits of the 1980s, with performances from Cher, Donna Summer and Gloria Gaynor.

Here are a few figures to demonstrate the extent of the means used to enchant the guests and generous donors of this exceptional evening:

- 59 disco balls suspended in the room

- 720 linear metres of table cloth

- 900 vases, 900 candles and 900 tea lights

And to crown it all: a troupe of 48 dancers!

In line with the eco-responsible policy of Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer, almost all of the decorations will be reused.The elements recovered (such as table cloths, vases, candles and tea lights) by the Princess Grace foundation will be transformed, distributed or resold for the benefit of the Foundation.

The rest of the decorations will be sent to be reused, in particular by local associations and small theatre companies.

THE PRINCES' ENTRANCE

Guests will enter the room through the "Back to the Future" time corridors. After going through a round door with a very seventies design decorated with roses, guests will go through a tunnel, where faceted mirror columns will alternate with television screens broadcasting video clips from the 70s/80s.

DECOR OF THE SALLE DES ETOILES

For this exceptional evening, the Salle des Etoiles will be transformed into a luminous disco ball, ready to welcome guests in a supercharged atmosphere

TABLE DECORATION

On the tables, the table cloths, vases and other shiny, iridescent balls will evoke the sequins and magical atmosphere of Disco. A few exotic flowers, in the style of the 70s/80s, will be arranged among the traditional coloured roses. Not forgetting the little disco balls stuck in the bouquets.
