Grace Kelly's lookalike granddaughter, 27, stuns in replica of princess' 1954 Rear Window gown at charity ball
Camille Gottlieb, 27 — daughter of Princess Stéphanie of Monaco and Jean Raymond Gottlieb — made a show-stopping appearance at the Monaco Red Cross Gala on Saturday, channeling every bit of her grandmother's Oscar-winning charm and timeless elegance on the red carpet.
The young royal wore a custom gown inspired by Grace's unforgettable wardrobe in Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 thriller Rear Window, in which Kelly starred opposite James Stewart.
The original design — a romantic navy dress with a dramatic portrait neckline and voluminous white skirt — was the work of legendary Hollywood costume designer Edith Head.
Camille's modernized take paid homage while adding her own flair, featuring sparkling silver floral embellishments across the bodice and a daring thigh-high slit.
After the event, Camille took to Instagram to share a glimpse behind the scenes, writing: 'Thanks to @elisabettafranchi, I was able to pay tribute to my grandmother with this beautiful dress.'
The beauty completed the look with Cartier jewelry — a nod to the very brand that supplied her grandmother's engagement rings.
Also in attendance at the elegant affair were Princess Grace's son Prince Albert and his wife Princess Charlene.
The royal fashion moment was a nod to Grace's glamorous Hollywood legacy before she gave it all up to marry Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1956.
The couple went on to have three children: Princess Caroline, Prince Albert, and Camille's mother, Princess Stéphanie.
Grace first met her future husband thanks to a bit of matchmaking by actress Olivia de Havilland.
The Gone with the Wind star introduced the pair after meeting Kelly on a train to Cannes in April 1955.
De Havilland thought the American screen siren and the prince should meet over dinner.
Grace had reportedly described Rainier as 'charming' when they first met after being invited to do a photoshoot at the Prince's palace to promote her film The Country Girl.
They kept in touch in secret before spending two days together in Philadelphia getting to know one another, ahead of his proposal.
After a brief engagement, Kelly and Prince Rainier III tied the knot in a quiet civil ceremony inside the throne room of Monaco's royal palace on April 18, 1956.
But under the Napoleonic Code of Monaco, a second, religious ceremony was required — and it was anything but quiet.
The following day, the couple exchanged vows again in a grand service at Saint Nicholas Cathedral, officiated by Monaco's bishop, Gilles Barthe, and broadcast to an estimated 30 million viewers around the world.
Amid her whirlwind engagement and royal wedding the following spring, Grace filmed what would become her final movie role in High Society, starring alongside Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby.
She was just 26 years old when she retired from acting to become a real-life princess.
Though Camille never had the chance to meet her legendary grandmother — who tragically died at 52 from a brain hemorrhage following a car accident — she's clearly inherited her iconic sense of style.

Emily Ratajkowski flashes cleavage in racy peekaboo dress as she reveals she's 'decentering' men in her life
Emily Ratajkowski stunned in four ensembles as she promoted her new Netflix series Too Much in New York City on Wednesday. The supermodel, 34 - who recently opened up about motherhood as she hit back at critics - also dished on 'decentering' men as she stopped by the Today show. The beauty — whose ex-boyfriend is expecting a child — first turned heads wearing a long-sleeved, scooped neck top as well as colorful buttons on the front. Ratajkowski additionally slipped into a pair of fitted, black capri pants and open-toed black pumps to complete her summer look. Her long, brunette locks were parted in the middle and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves. Emily opted for minimal accessories to allow the outfit to be the main focal point, and added a pair of mini silver earrings as well as fashionable shades. The supermodel - who recently opened up about motherhood as she hit back at critics - also dished on 'decentering' men as she stopped by the Today show She was seen showing off the stylish ensemble as she headed towards the studio ahead of her appearance on Today. The former Nickelodeon actress later joined hosts Jenna Bush Hager and guest co-host Willie Geist to talk about her role in the new Netflix show Too Much, which was released on the streaming site on July 10. At one point, Emily was questioned if it was true that she has been 'deprioritizing' men in her life. The model was previously married to Sebastian Bear-McClard from 2018 until their divorce in 2022. The former couple - who share son Sly, four - had split amid accusations that he was a 'serial cheater.' 'Well, the kids say decentering,' Ratajkowski lightly joked, and elaborated to the Today hosts that it was true. 'I am a single mom and I just really, I think as I've gotten older I started to really value community with other women particularly. And that's definitely a priority for me.' She added, 'I think it's one of the best parts about living in New York as I get to meet so many amazing women and queer people. And yeah, I really value community these days.'

In the reel, the star could be seen lounging on a sofa and then panned the camera to show off her green velvet couch. The following month, she expressed to Harper's Bazaar: 'I think sexuality is on a sliding scale. I don't really believe in straight people.' Ratajkowski later said, 'I want to be able to have fun with how I present myself in the world without feeling like I'm a bad feminist or a good feminist. Duh. I don't want to be a part of your club if you don't want to have me. It's fine!' Emily filtered through a busy schedule on Wednesday as she had three other outfit changes during her busy day of promoting Too Much. In the series - which was created by Lena Dunham and her husband Luis Felber - the star portrays the character of Wendy Jones. As she arrived to film Late Night With Seth Meyers, the model put on a leggy display wearing a vibrant blue snakeskin minidress from Gucci.

The Calvin Klein look comprised of a fitted blazer which was secured with buttons on the front as well as matching trousers. During her interview on the talk show, Emily reflected on her recent 34th birthday last month and goals that she has for the future. 'Well, I've always wanted to be on the other side of the camera,' she said, and explained that when it comes to modeling, there is little creative control. 'I think acting can be much more expressive and a little different. But as somebody who has written a book, I think kind of marrying all these things are what I'm looking for.' Back in 2021, she notably published a book titled My Body which landed on the New York Times bestseller list. Lastly, Emily opted to cut a casual figure in a shirt that had 'I'm a speed skater' printed on the front as well as black capri leggings. She also stuck with the same black pumps for all of her differing outfits. Too Much - which also stars Will Sharpe and Megan Stalter - was created by both Lena and husband Luis Felber. The premise is: 'After a breakup, New York workaholic Jessica moves to London planning on being alone. She meets Felix who causes her to reconsider finding love again,' per IMDB. Dunham has also been working on a romcom called Good Sex - which stars Natalie Portman in a leading role. Last month on June 7, Emily rung in her 34th birthday and was joined by close pals as she twerked the night away for a lighthearted bash. In an assortment of memorable snaps from the party, the model revealed that she was a given a cake that was in the shape of her bikini-clad behind.

ESPN's Chris Russo has police called on him at London Heathrow airport after clash with British Airways staff
Famed sports radio host Chris Russo has claimed he narrowly avoided being arrested at Heathrow Airport in London. The 65-year-old returned to the ESPN airwaves on 'First Take' on Wednesday following a 17-day vacation to Europe that included an eight-day father-son golfing getaway to Dornoch, Scotland. However, the analyst, whose fiery takes have earned him the moniker 'Mad Dog,' seized the chance to unleash a scathing rant live on air as he revealed that after a number of hiccups his participation in the trip was very nearly derailed. For more than 10 minutes, Russo blustered about the trials and tribulations of getting himself, his traveling companions and their golf clubs to the Highlands, which included a run-in with London police. He revealed that his son, Northern Arizona University's men's basketball assistant coach Tim Russo, flew from Phoenix to London via a connection in Dallas before traveling on to Inverness. While Tim and his clothes made it to the Northern Scottish town, his clubs did not. With the golf clubs a key component to the trip, Russo Sr. was left on a mass scavenger hunt to locate the set in Heathrow Airport. Who needs forced LeBron James topics on First Take when you can have Dog rant about Jet Blue and British Airways travel nightmares to Dornoch for more than 10 minutes!! — Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) July 16, 2025 'It took me two and a half hours to locate the clubs at Heathrow. They didn't know where they were!' Russo exclaimed. 'My son needs the golf clubs for crying out loud! Couldn't find them. We finally found the golf clubs. I had the ticket stub, I put Timmy on FaceTime. 'Timmy, will you tell the people here that the golf clubs are yours and your father, WHO PAID FOR THEM! wants to take them out of the airport so I can get you your clubs the next day?' They wouldn't let me take the clubs out of Heathrow! 'So Timmy's clubs had to stay at Heathrow overnight and he didn't have his golf clubs on Saturday because British Airways…wouldn't give it to his father! Here's their answer, 'It's protocol, sir.' I'm not interested in protocol! I'm interested in the 5-iron! I am not interested in that! 'And they called the police on me! I'm a loud American! 'We're gonna get the authorities.' I DON'T GIVE A C*** ABOUT AUTHORITIES GET THE GOLF CLUBS WHERE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE!' He then confirmed that officers arrived on the scene but he managed to calm down in time to de-escalate the situation and avoid arrest. However, that hadn't been the beginning of Russo's travelling calamity. He also took aim at American airline, Jetblue, after his flight from New York JFK was delayed before ultimately being cancelled. 'You want to fly to Scranton, PA? Jet Blue is for you!' Russo yelled. 'You want to fly to something a little more elaborate like to freakin' Edinburgh? What a disgrace! They kept people on that plane 'til 1:44 in the morning and threw them the hell out of there!' Russo is known for his controversial takes on the hit ESPN show alongside Stephen A. Smith. He's frequently taken aim at the likes of Caitlin Clark, Bill Belichick and his 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson, and even colleague Jason Kelce. In addition to his frequent appearances on 'First Take,' Russo hosts an afternoon radio show, 'Mad Dog Unleashed,' SiriusXM Ch. 82 Mad Dog Sports Radio. He joined Sirius XM Radio in August 2008 and now operates his own channel, Mad Dog Sports Radio.
