Alexandra Leclerc Stuns in Nina Ricci Gown at Monaco Rose Ball

Less than a month after tying the knot in a private civil ceremony on February 28, 2026, Alexandra Leclerc made her first major public appearance as a newlywed at one of Europe's most glamorous annual events — and she dressed accordingly. The annual Monaco Rose Ball took place on March 21, and among the royal attendees were Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc and his wife, Alexandra.

A social media star who has amassed millions of followers across TikTok and Instagram, Alexandra wore a glorious, custom-made design by Nina Ricci. The bespoke piece featured beautiful appliqué detail, had a pretty off-the-shoulder cut, and was handcrafted in sumptuous satin. It gave Disney Princess vibes, as it was reminiscent of Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. The metallic pink satin caught the light at the Monte-Carlo Sporting Club in a way that made the comparison feel less like press-release hyperbole and more like an accurate descriptor. The stunning couple, who were married in a luxury ceremony in Monaco last month, turned heads in their black-tie attire. For its landmark 70th edition, Princess Caroline chose the theme "Galaxy Rose Ball," and the evening raised funds for the Princess Grace Foundation in its habitual setting of black-tie glamour.

The Rose Ball appearance served as the couple's most public celebration of their union to date. The Formula 1 driver and the fashion influencer exchanged vows in a private civil wedding ceremony on February 28, held at Mairie de Monaco in a small affair. For that ceremony, Alexandra wore something altogether different in spirit: her "absolute dream dress" was designed by Paolo Sebastian, described by the couture brand as a "French Chantilly lace fishtail gown featuring a scalloped neckline, delicately adorned with three-dimensional floral and butterfly embellishments, and finished with bespoke embroidered initials and their wedding date." The look was completed with a diamond floral drop necklace by Graff and a matching ear cuff.

The contrast between the two looks tells its own story: the wedding gown, all ivory lace and intricate embroidery with initials stitched into the fabric, was intimate and personal. The Nina Ricci ballgown was pure spectacle, cut for a room full of royals and a red carpet that demands a statement. The newlyweds also made a dramatic exit from their wedding, driving away in a rare vintage Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa valued at around £9 million. A video of the couple cruising through Monaco in the iconic car quickly spread online, captivating fans and turning the moment into a viral sensation.

The pair confirmed their engagement three months before the wedding, in November 2025. Charles popped the question in a candlelit setting surrounded by a sea of red rose petals shaped into a heart, with dozens of glowing candles and lush bouquets adding to the dreamlike ambience. From that proposal to the Rose Ball red carpet, every visual moment of this relationship has been precisely, almost cinematically, composed.

Alexandra has built a major presence as an influencer with more than 3 million Instagram followers, and has collaborated with luxury brands including Nina Ricci, appearing in Vogue, People Magazine, and ELLE. The Rose Ball gown, then, is less a one-off fashion moment and more a natural extension of an already well-established personal aesthetic. Charles has also confirmed the celebrations are far from over, telling fans on Instagram that the February ceremony was only "part 1" and that "part 2 will be next year with all of our close ones." If the Nina Ricci satin was the warm-up act, the 2027 wedding is going to be worth watching.
