Grace Kelly's lookalike granddaughter, 27, stuns in replica of princess' 1954 Rear Window gown at charity ball
Grace Kelly 's lookalike granddaughter turned heads at a recent charity ball — not just for her striking resemblance to the late princess, but for wearing a jaw-dropping gown inspired by one of her most iconic film looks. 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.

Paris: High-end jewelry remains effervescent despite luxury downturn
Paris was packed this month with scores of haute joaillerie collections, from established giants to jewelry by leading fashion labels to emerging stars – in a season dominated by Art Deco and nature motifs. caught up with five: Chanel, Dior, David Yurman, Serendipity and Sahag Arslanian. Timed to coincide with the French capital's haute couture season, thus guaranteeing the presence of VICs, top editors and jewelry influencers, the jewelry season now boasts as many presentations as there are actual runway shows. The nerve center remains Place Vendôme, the world's leading top- jewelry retailing plaza with flagship stores by the likes of Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, Chaumet, Boucheron, Fred and Jar, as well as stores from leading fashion and luxury houses – Chanel, Dior and Louis Vuitton. Chronologically, Chanel opened the season with a display above its lush Vendôme flagship, where it showed the final collection by the late and great designer Patrice Leguéreau. Entitled "Reach For the Stars", the collection played on three key elements central to Mademoiselle Chanel, The Comet, The Wings and The Lion, Coco's fetish animal. Standouts included a beautiful Wings of Chanel necklace centered by a 19.55 carats sapphire, whose dropped center can be dis-attached and worn as bracelet. Priced at €11 million, it echoes Chanel's time in Hollywood, when producer Samuel Goldwyn invited her to dress stars, and Coco responded with a style that emphasized levity. Leguéreau, who passed in November last year after a decade at the house, also added the first-ever Chanel choker; a beautiful tiara late-30s style, thus made to be worn on forehead and not on top of the head. In an innovative move, the Lion series featured a mane made out of moonstone, and an abstract big cat composed of a series of yellow diamonds. Chez Dior, one had the pleasure of discovering the latest ideas from Victoire de Castellane, the house's jewelry designer for the past quarter century. Victoire played on three themes close to the house's DNA: enchanting landscapes, delicate bouquets and fairytale balls. Apt, as Monsieur Dior's first steps in fashion were creating for the costume balls so beloved of the French in the 1930s. Blending volumes and superimpositions between gems with unique skill – sculpted on hard stone backgrounds hemmed with diamonds, such as fine deer or rabbits emerging on fine diamond fields on some watch facades. Above all, everything felt very, very Dior, in a collection entitled "Diorexquis". Thanks to De Castellane's remarkable ability to have invented a very specific visual identity, combining sophistication, joie de vivre and Monsieur's deep love of the garden. Key pieces trumpeted all the virtuosity of the ateliers, embodied, in particular, by the 'doublet d'opale' technique, which consists of mounting a layer of opal on another stone - onyx or mother-of-pearl - to compose striking cameos, recalling the complex nuances of the sky or water. While the 'plique-à-jour' process pushes the boundaries of excellence, peppering the bouquets with a thousand sparkling colors, thanks to the use of lacquer - a signature of Dior Joaillerie. Creating what seems like a miniature stained-glass window through on light gentle falls. America's contribution to the season came from David Yurman, whose display inside a Faubourg St Honoré showroom included lots of mini hot peppers and crosses pendants composed of emeralds. Though the highlight was a graphic modernist Art Deco cuff bracelet made in a zig zag lattice white diamonds and white gold, priced at $295,000. Founded in New York in 1980 by sculptor David Yurman, and his wife Sybil, a painter and ceramist, the house is best known for its haute artisanal and exceptional craftsmanship. Other Art Deco elements included Deco Emerald drop earrings priced at $850,000, or classily elegant Stax three row rings in yellow gold and diamonds that cost $35,000. Today, headed up by their son Evan, David Yurman collections are available online, in 51 boutiques across the United States, Canada, Hong Kong and France, and in over authorized fine jewelry retailers. Nature, always a key theme in jewelry, inspired a beautiful new range from Serendipity by Christine Chen. Playing on the idea of the "Secret Garden", Chen showed an evocative necklace where diamonds were almost woven like lace and paired with tanzanite recalling the lilies of Monet. Along with a series of delicate petal-shaped earrings in multi-colored sapphires, mounted on light-weight titanium, recalling the artist's garden at Giverny on a bright spring day. Chen's great skill is to blend east with west harmoniously, like in her designs inspired by the ginkgo, the long-lived dioecious tree known for producing very healthy supplements. Seen in her superb Gingko Dream series – such as a necklace with a golden leaves, engraved like a ginkgo, and completed with Colombian emeralds. Or an opal and golden pearl necklace, about which Chen liked to mention the ancient Chinese proverb: 'Springtime flowers are transformed into the fruits of autumn.' Presented inside a wing of the Musée Guimet, Paris' main museum of Asian art, the collection was entitled "Jardin du Reve" and was shown on dancers dressed like woodland spirts. 'I'd like Serendipity to be a bridge, beyond culture, connecting emotions and creating beautiful and rare encounters between people,' explained the very elegant Chen. One brand new name that also caught attention was Sahag Arslanian, from a third-generation family of diamond experts, with over 70 years of legacy rooted in Antwerp. And often billed as one of the top 10 diamond trading companies worldwide. The founder's grandson Sahag Arslanian officially launched his own first high jewellery collection in the Automobile Club de France. The jewelry was all about hyper flexibility with necklaces that sat ideally on collar bones. 'We've sourced diamonds from Russia to A to Z and all the way to Angola,' explained Sahag, who insisted that 'conflict diamonds are over, and everything we use today are RJC-certified. We were one of first people to do that.' Based on three key motifs - sphere, kite and zig zag - his radiant Grand Eclipse necklace is priced at $700,000. While a Sun Rays necklace in angular yellow and white gold with a central pear-cut stone costs €250,000. This 35-year-old Mandarin speaking alumni of Le Rosey, the world's most expensive boarding school, does not lack self-confidence. 'I believe our creations will maintain their price at auctions. Our concept is based on the duality between white and yellow gold. Our creations are made to be worn, not kept in a safe. Worn while you are not being sled conscious about the prize,' insisted Sahag.

Kate Middleton Adds a Dazzling Twist to Princess Diana's Engagement Ring
Kate Middleton Adds a Dazzling Twist to Princess Diana's Engagement Ring originally appeared on Parade. As Kate Middleton settled into her seat at Wimbledon on Saturday, July 12, eagle-eyed fans quickly noticed a surprising change to one of her most iconic pieces of jewelry. The Princess of Wales, who has worn the late Princess Diana's stunning cerulean sapphire since her 2010 engagement to Prince William, debuted a sparkling new twist on the 12-carat ring for a fresh, fashion-forward update. According to GB News, Kate paired the ring with two eternity bands and her original Welsh gold wedding band. Typically, the Princess of Wales pairs her engagement ring and wedding band together, and wears the other statement pieces separately. One of the newer additions is a diamond eternity ring, reportedly gifted to Kate by William following the birth of their first son, Prince George, in 2013. Per GB News, Kate's newest ring is believed to be Cartier's Étincelle de Cartier wedding band, which retails for over 6K. The new band was reportedly given to Kate by William while she was undergoing chemotherapy in 2024. It features 19 brilliant-cut diamonds and 19 brilliant-cut sapphires, adding a meaningful layer to her stack. Parade Daily🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Princess Diana's engagement ring has become one of the most iconic symbols of the royal family. She first debuted the striking sapphire and diamond piece in February 1981, during the official announcement of her engagement to then-Prince Charles. The ring became an instant sensation, but it caused waves within the royal family. Reportedly, Diana was given the option to choose her ring from a selection of royal jewels as well as pieces from the crown jeweler Garrard. She ultimately selected a ring from Garrard's catalogue. However, this choice broke with royal tradition as it wasn't custom-designed. Instead, it was a ready-made piece, and anyone with the financial means could have purchased the same ring. Picking this ring reportedly ruffled the royal family's feathers, even though the statement piece was priced out of the pockets of most everyday royal watchers. In 1981, it was reportedly retailed at about $60,000. When William proposed to Kate, he presented her with Diana's ring. He said during his engagement interview, 'It's my mother's engagement ring. I thought it was quite nice because obviously, she's not going to be around to share in the fun and excitement of it all.' 'I'm sure everyone recognizes it from previous times,' he continued. Kate added, 'I just hope I look after it.' Kate and William have been married since April 2011. They have three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Kate Middleton Adds a Dazzling Twist to Princess Diana's Engagement Ring first appeared on Parade on Jul 15, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 15, 2025, where it first appeared.
