Pauline Ducruet’s ALTER fashion presentation, international philanthropists, luxury hospitality and an exclusive charity auction come together at the Fairmont Monte Carlo on Saturday 28 November 2026.
On Saturday 28 November 2026, the magnificent Grand Salon of the Fairmont Monte Carlo will host the 12th edition of the Club Vivanova Royal Charity Gala, one of the Principality’s distinguished annual philanthropic celebrations.
Held under the High Patronage and Presence of H.S.H. Princess Stéphanie of Monaco, the prestigious black-tie event brings together international business leaders, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, corporate partners and distinguished guests for an extraordinary evening dedicated to two important Monegasque charities: Fight Aids Monaco and Écoute Cancer Réconfort.
Combining the elegance and sophistication of Monaco with a genuine commitment to charitable giving, this year’s Gala promises exceptional gastronomy, Premier Cru Champagne, international networking, live entertainment, an exclusive fashion presentation and a spectacular charity auction.

One of the evening’s most anticipated highlights will be a special fashion presentation by ALTER, the contemporary fashion label founded by Pauline Ducruet, daughter of H.S.H. Princess Stéphanie of Monaco.
This will be far more than a traditional runway presentation.
Ladies and gentlemen with personal connections to the Gala’s beneficiary charities will take to the stage wearing ALTER designs, celebrating individuality, self-confidence and the courage to embrace one’s identity.
The presentation brings together contemporary fashion, personal expression and compassion, offering a powerful reminder of the people and human stories behind the charitable causes being supported.

The celebrations begin at 7pm with a Premier Cru Champagne reception, welcoming an influential international audience to the Fairmont Monte Carlo.
Guests will then enjoy a five-course gourmet dinner accompanied by premium international wines, followed by a programme of music, fashion, fundraising and entertainment.
The Alexandra Miller Quintet will provide live musical entertainment, while the evening’s exclusive Royal Charity Auction will be officiated by Sheriff Thomas Lefevre.

As the formal programme concludes, guests will be invited to continue the celebrations at a midnight DJ after-party.
The Royal Charity Gala is renowned for bringing together an exceptional international community, combining luxury hospitality with meaningful business and social connections.
Behind the glamour and celebrations lies the Gala’s defining purpose: helping people facing significant personal and medical challenges.
Fight Aids Monaco, founded by Princess Stéphanie, supports people living with HIV while promoting awareness, understanding and dignity.
Écoute Cancer Réconfort provides compassionate assistance to people affected by cancer and their families, offering emotional and practical support through challenging circumstances.
Over its twelve-year history, Club Vivanova’s annual Gala events have raised more than €425,000 for charitable causes.
This year’s exclusive auction will feature exceptional fine art, luxury experiences and generously donated offerings from international supporters and partners.
All proceeds from the Royal Charity Auction will be divided equally between Fight Aids Monaco and Écoute Cancer Réconfort.

Club Vivanova Founder and Managing Director Bradley Mitton describes the philosophy behind the annual Gala:
“We only achieve great things in life by giving back. Our annual Royal Charity Gala brings together an exceptional international community to celebrate the best things in life while raising vital funds for worthy, local and life-changing charities.”
The Gala reflects Club Vivanova’s longstanding mission of connecting international professionals through exceptional lifestyle experiences while generating meaningful opportunities for collaboration, generosity and positive social impact.

The celebrations begin on Friday 27 November with an exclusive pre-Gala wine and sushi networking reception at NOBU Monte Carlo, hosted by Club Vivanova.
This separately bookable gathering offers guests an intimate introduction to the Gala weekend, combining premium wines, Japanese fusion cuisine and international networking, with an optional Omakase dinner.
The weekend culminates in Saturday’s Royal Charity Gala at the Fairmont Monte Carlo, bringing together an exceptional programme of hospitality, fashion, entertainment and philanthropy.

With Gold tables already sold out, guests wishing to attend are encouraged to reserve their places early.
