The winner of this year\u2019s award was the Xana Foundation, which was founded to offer support to children dealing with serious illnesses and to their families. The foundation was named for Xana, the youngest daughter of Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique, who died of bone cancer in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-65661\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2025-0925-01-charlene03.jpg\" alt=\"The Princess of Monaco attends the Ballon d'Or ceremony in Paris on September 22, 2025 (Jerome Domine\/Abaca Press\/Alamy)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\"  \/>The Princess of Monaco attends the Ballon d\u2019Or ceremony in Paris on September 22, 2025 (Jerome Domine\/Abaca Press\/Alamy)<\/p>\n<p>For the award ceremony, Princess Charlene wore a stark, tailored white gown. <a href=\"https:\/\/ufonomore.com\/recently-added\/elie-saab-asymmetric-draped-cady-gown\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">UFO No More tells us<\/a> that the dress was made by the couturier Elie Saab, a particularly popular designer with European royals.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-65662\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2025-0925-01-charlene04.jpg\" alt=\"The Princess of Monaco attends the Ballon d'Or ceremony in Paris on September 22, 2025 (Antoine Massinon\/DPPI Media\/Alamy)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1758\"  \/>The Princess of Monaco attends the Ballon d\u2019Or ceremony in Paris on September 22, 2025 (Antoine Massinon\/DPPI Media\/Alamy)<\/p>\n<p>Charlene kept her jewelry accessories minimal but impactful.
