Margot Fonteyn and her husband Roberto Arias leaving Onassis' yacht Christina. Monaco harbor 1955.

In Monaco harbor, prima ballerina Margot Fonteyn and her husband, Roberto Arias, descend the gangplank of Aristotle Onassis's yacht, the *Christina*, in 1955. Arias, in a dark double-breasted suit, and Fonteyn, in a heavy overcoat and high heels, hold the rope railing for support. The photograph captures them mid-step, with the yacht’s Liberian flag billowing behind them and the sunlit, terraced cityscape of Monaco rising in the background.
