As Paris reaches its creative crescendo during Haute Couture Week, an exceptional private gathering will take place at one of the city’s most revered addresses. On Friday, January 30, 2026, at 6:30 p.m., Royal Gentlemen, in partnership with the Congress Awards, will present an exclusive Grand Dinner at Court in the Marie-Louise Room of the Ritz Paris Vendôme.
Conceived and hosted by Anna Stukkert and Thomas Misse, the evening is dedicated to celebrating the Grand Art de Vivre—where haute couture, fine craftsmanship, gastronomy, and art intersect in a setting defined by discretion, elegance, and purpose. The event is held in support of a charitable cause, reinforcing the belief that luxury, at its highest level, carries a responsibility beyond aesthetics.
From January 26 to 30, Paris once again assumes its role as the global capital of haute couture, welcoming the world’s most influential fashion houses, designers, and private clients. Beyond its exclusivity, Haute Couture Week remains a powerful platform for shaping future creative directions, introducing new narratives, and redefining how brands communicate identity, heritage, and innovation.
Within this distinguished framework, the Grand Dinner at Court offers an intimate perspective on the future of luxury. Guests will discover curated collaborations between emerging designers and iconic maisons, alongside exceptional high jewelry presentations anticipated to influence international fashion and style trends for 2026. The evening is designed as a living dialogue between tradition and modernity, refinement and innovation.
Located on the legendary Place Vendôme, the Ritz Paris is far more than a hotel—it is an institution synonymous with Parisian elegance. Since its inauguration in 1898, it has served as a gathering place for royalty, artists, and global leaders. Hosting an event within its historic walls remains a mark of ultimate distinction and an assurance of an unforgettable experience.
The culinary journey of the evening will be orchestrated by the Ritz Paris’s acclaimed kitchen and service teams, delivering a gastronomic performance aligned with the standards of haute couture itself: precision, creativity, and excellence. Every detail of the dinner has been curated to reflect the harmony between craftsmanship and artistry.
As Paris celebrates fashion at its highest expression, the Ritz Paris Vendôme becomes the setting for a private moment of timeless luxury. The Grand Dinner at Court stands as one of the week’s most refined encounters—where fashion, culture, and the art of entertaining converge in an atmosphere reserved for the truly exceptional.
