The National Museum of Women in the Arts held a benefit Friday evening at the museum. The event, "La Grand Fete," celebrated all things Monaco.

Former Princess Grace of Monaco's wedding dress was on display and guests were given the opportunity to play casino-themed games.

Those spotted in the crowd included Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.) and his wife Debbie, Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) and his wife Grace and many ambassadors including the Ambassador of Mexico, Monaco and Cypriot.
