All eyes were on happy couple Charlotte Casiraghi and Gad Elmaleh at Monaco's Rose Ball on Saturday night. The pair couldn't take their eyes of each other at what is one of the Grimaldi family's most anticipated nights of the year. Charlotte, 26, also debuted her new short hair teaming her wavy brunette locks with a stunning pastel pink drop-hem dress. In line with tradition, Charlotte's mother Princess Caroline, president of the Princess Grace Foundation, chose the evening’s theme. She opted for the 'La Belle Epoque', the French 'golden age' at the turn of the 20th century, which brought with it a host of feathers, fringes, hats and necklaces.

 Princess Caroline, who became a grandmother for the first time last week when her son Andrea and his girlfriend Tatiana Santo Domingo welcomed a son, chose an elegant jewel-encrusted bolero jacket over a white top and floor-length black skirt. This year Monaco's glittering ball was also graced by Chanel maestro Karl Lagerfeld, British pop star Rita Ora and her friend and model of the moment Cara Delevingne, who wore a show-stopping white feathered dress and her blonde hair in a flawless updo.

Monaco's reigning monarch Prince Albert was also at the ball, accompanied by his statuesque wife Princess Charlene. Former Olympic swimmer Charlene, 35, wore a v-neck white gown, complete with jewelled shoulders which she chose to hide under a beige jacket before revealing her full outfit once inside the venue.
