Amid the global spotlight of Paris Haute Couture Week, Royal Gentlemen, in collaboration with the Congress Awards, will host an exclusive Grand Dinner at Court on Friday, January 30, 2026, at 6:30 p.m., in the distinguished Marie-Louise Room of the Ritz Paris Vendôme.
Curated by Anna Stukkert and Thomas Misse, the evening is conceived as a refined celebration of the Grand Art de Vivre, uniting haute couture, luxury craftsmanship, gastronomy, and art in support of a charitable cause. The event’s theme, “The Art of Entertaining,” reflects a commitment to elegance, cultural exchange, and purposeful luxury at the highest level.
From January 26 to 30, 2026, Paris once again becomes the epicenter of haute couture, welcoming the world’s most prestigious fashion houses, designers, and tastemakers. While Haute Couture Week is traditionally reserved for luxury brands and private clients, it also serves as a powerful lens through which the future of fashion is revealed—introducing new creative narratives, exceptional craftsmanship, and evolving expressions of brand identity.
Within this context, the Grand Dinner at Court offers a singular experience, presenting curated collaborations between emerging designers and iconic maisons, alongside high jewelry showcases expected to influence global style directions for 2026. The evening is designed as an intimate encounter with innovation, heritage, and artistry—experienced live in one of Paris’s most storied settings.
Set on Place Vendôme, the Ritz Paris stands as a symbol of timeless sophistication. Since opening its doors in 1898, the hotel has remained a preferred gathering place for international high society, artists, and cultural leaders.
Hosting a reception at the Ritz is synonymous with supreme refinement and the promise of an unforgettable moment.
The evening’s culinary experience will be entrusted to the Ritz Paris’s renowned kitchen and service teams, ensuring a level of gastronomy that matches the elegance of the occasion. Every detail, from setting to service, is designed to reflect the spirit of haute couture—precision, creativity, and excellence.
As Paris celebrates creativity during Haute Couture Week, the Ritz Paris Vendôme becomes the gateway to a private world of beauty and distinction. The Grand Dinner at Court stands as a highlight of the week—an invitation-only gathering where fashion, art, and culture converge in an atmosphere of timeless luxury.
