Women of Monaco Lunch Red

There is something about Monaco in autumn that lends itself naturally to elegance.

On October 8th, 2026, the Principality will once again become the setting for an afternoon where fashion, philanthropy and female connection meet around one of Monaco's most anticipated social occasions: the 16th edition of the Women of Monaco Lunch Red.

Taking place at 12 noon in the Salon Méditerranée of the Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo, the exclusive red-themed gathering, supported by Barclays Private Bank, will bring together members and friends of the Women of Monaco Club for an afternoon dedicated not only to style and celebration, but also to giving back.

This year's lunch will benefit the Fondation Princesse Grace, continuing a tradition in which the glamour of Monaco is placed in the service of a meaningful cause.

Founded in 1964 by Princess Grace, the Foundation has devoted itself to supporting humanitarian initiatives, particularly those benefiting children, while also contributing to cultural projects and assisting students. Its work gives the afternoon a deeper significance: behind the beautiful setting, the fashion and the carefully orchestrated details lies a commitment to making a difference.

A celebration of women without borders

The Women of Monaco Lunch was born from an idea by Sandrine Knoell, with a simple yet powerful philosophy at its heart: women should have a place where connections can flourish beyond the boundaries that so often divide us.

The Women of Monaco Club brings together like-minded women regardless of ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political differences. It is precisely this diversity that gives the gathering its particular character.

Around the table, different stories meet.

Different backgrounds meet.

Different worlds meet.

And, for an afternoon, they become part of the same conversation.

The colour red - passionate, confident and unmistakably glamorous - provides the visual signature of the occasion, turning the Salon Méditerranée into a celebration of femininity and individuality.

Haute couture takes centre stage

Among the afternoon's highlights will be a fashion show by Irina Marchuk Fashion Designer, presenting a haute couture collection of unique pieces created from carefully selected premium fabrics and refined materials.

The collection promises an exploration of femininity through craftsmanship, with details conceived to express confidence, individuality and timeless elegance.

In the world of haute couture, the smallest detail can transform an entire silhouette. A texture, a line, a perfectly placed embellishment - each becomes part of the language of the garment.

For this occasion, fashion will speak in red.

Complementing the runway presentation will be the professional makeup artistry of Cool Bay Monaco, creating beauty looks for the models that enhance both their individuality and the character of each couture creation.

The result will be a meeting of fashion and beauty, where the woman remains at the centre of the story.

A taste of the Mediterranean

The afternoon will also introduce guests to Anthésté, a collection of waterless botanical elixirs founded by an art restorer and deeply rooted in Greek-Mediterranean heritage.

Its presence adds another layer to an event already shaped by ideas of beauty, craftsmanship and tradition - bringing botanical inspiration and Mediterranean sensibility into the elegant surroundings of the Hôtel Métropole.

It is an appropriate addition to an afternoon celebrating women whose lives and journeys are often as varied and layered as the cultures surrounding the Mediterranean itself.
