Margot Fonteyn and Aristotle Onassis, in the background left her husband Roberto Arias, Onassis' lawyer, and dancer Michael Somes (background right). Casino Monte Carlo 1956
With a beaming smile, Aristotle Onassis adjusts his signature dark-rimmed glasses as he walks alongside prima ballerina Margot Fonteyn at the Casino Monte Carlo in 1956. Fonteyn, equally radiant in a voluminous dark coat, clutches a small purse and handkerchief. Following in the background are her husband, Roberto Arias, who was also Onassis’ lawyer (left), and dancer Michael Somes (right). Posters for the "Grande Saison de Ballet" on the columns behind them confirm the glamour of the formal event.
