Marie Ducruet made a glittering appearance at the Bal du Centenaire. Princess Stephanie ’s daughter-in-law stunned at the charity event on Friday wearing a gold Jenny Packham design. The brand’s “Parisa” gown, which retails for $5,810, features sequin and bead embellishments, and half-length sleeves that give a cape-like effect. It is described by Jenny Packham as a “dramatic golden statement gown.”

The Bal du Centenaire, in memory of Prince Rainier III, was held at the Casino de Monte-Carlo. According to the Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer, it was “a tribute to the balls initiated by Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer and honored by the presence of H.S.H. Prince Rainier III, and his wife H.S.H. Princess Grace in Monaco.” The charity evening benefited Fight Aids Monaco, which Princess Stephanie is president of.

Earlier this month, Marie celebrated six months with her baby girl. Alongside a photo of herself cradling Victoire, Marie wrote, “My coquinette, 6 months already that you fill me with happiness (even if I’m tired 😅). You’re a little angel fallen from heaven, a baby love, we couldn’t have asked for better ❤️.”
Marie added, “Our life isn’t the same anymore, it’s changed for the better ✨ I can’t wait to watch you grow day by day, even if time goes by too fast - I love you my doll ❤️.”
