As Paris Haute Couture Week draws the world’s fashion elite to the capital, an extraordinary private evening will unfold at one of its most storied landmarks. On Friday, January 30, 2026, at 6:30 p.m., Royal Gentlemen, in collaboration with the Congress Awards, will host the Grand Dinner at Court in the prestigious Marie-Louise Room of the Ritz Paris Vendôme.
Curated by Anna Stukkert and Thomas Misse, the event is conceived as a refined celebration of the Grand Art de Vivre, uniting haute couture, master craftsmanship, fine gastronomy, and art within an atmosphere of timeless elegance. Beyond its aesthetic excellence, the evening is dedicated to a philanthropic cause, reaffirming the role of luxury as a platform for cultural and social contribution.
Taking place during Paris Haute Couture Week (January 26–30), the Grand Dinner at Court reflects the spirit of a moment when fashion transcends the runway to shape future trends, narratives, and identities. While couture presentations remain reserved for maisons and private clients, this occasion offers a rare, intimate lens into the creative forces defining 2026—through collaborations between emerging designers, iconic luxury houses, and distinguished high jewelry creators influencing global style. 
Set on the iconic Place Vendôme, the Ritz Paris stands as a symbol of Parisian refinement and historical grandeur. Since opening its doors in 1898, it has been a preferred gathering place for royalty, visionaries, and cultural leaders. Hosting an evening within its walls is both a mark of distinction and a promise of an unforgettable experience steeped in heritage and discretion.
Guests will be welcomed into a carefully orchestrated culinary experience, crafted by the Ritz Paris’s renowned kitchen and service teams. Each course is designed with the same precision and artistry found in haute couture, elevating the dinner into a sensorial journey that complements the creative dialogue of the evening.
As Paris celebrates fashion at its most elevated expression, the Ritz Paris Vendôme becomes a private sanctuary where tradition meets modern vision. The Grand Dinner at Court emerges as one of the week’s most exclusive encounters—an evening where elegance, culture, and the art of entertaining converge in their purest form.
