All eyes are on Princess Charlene and her pink diamond.
The South African royal and her husband, Prince Albert, stepped out in New York City last Thursday for the Princess Grace Awards Annual Gala to celebrate this year’s class of Princess Grace Award winners in theatre, dance and film.
Previous award winners include famous names like Leslie Odom Jr., his wife Nicolette Robinson, Oscar Isaac and director Jon M. Chu.
While Prince Albert looked dapper in a classic tux, the princess stole the spotlight, wearing a sleeveless floral gown and an extraordinary necklace.
The Grace Diamond made its public debut for the first time, glittering from Princess Charlene’s neck.

Per People, the 1.79-carat Australian diamond is owned by Maison Mazerea, who dedicated it to Charlene’s late mother-in-law Princess Grace after purchasing it in 2021.
Maison Mazerea is a Haute Diamanterie, “specialising in the rarest coloured diamonds of irreproachable provenance”.
The gem was fastened into a necklace called “La Vie en Rose” by Parisian jeweller Lorenz Bäumer. It will later be removed and reimagined into a successive collection of pieces under the Maison Mazerea name.
The Princess Grace Foundation was established 40 years ago by Albert’s father, the late Prince Ranier III, to celebrate the legacy of his Oscar-winning actor wife, Princess Grace.
