Stunning Tribute: Camille Gottlieb Channels Grace Kelly's Iconic 'Rear Window' Gown
ROYAL ROMANCE REVISITED: Camille Gottlieb Channels Iconic Grandmother, Princess Grace Kelly, at Monaco Red Cross Gala
In a stunning homage to her glamorous grandmother, Princess Stéphanie of Monaco's daughter, Camille Gottlieb, 27, sashayed down the red carpet at the Monaco Red Cross Gala on Saturday, leaving attendees and fans alike utterly enchanted. And it's not just because she bears an uncanny resemblance to the late Hollywood legend, Princess Grace Kelly!
The young royal donned a jaw-dropping custom gown inspired by one of her grandmother's most iconic film looks in Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 thriller, Rear Window, starring alongside James Stewart. The original design was created by legendary costume designer Edith Head, who also worked on some of Hollywood's most beloved films.
Camille's modern take on the classic look added a dash of sass and glamour, featuring sparkling silver floral embellishments across the bodice and a daring thigh-high slit that left little to the imagination. The beauty accessorized her stunning ensemble with Cartier jewelry – a nod to the very brand that supplied her grandmother's engagement rings!
As if Camille's show-stopping appearance wasn't enough, the event also drew in Princess Grace's son, Prince Albert, and his wife, Princess Charlene. Talk about a royal family affair! The trio undoubtedly brought back memories of Princess Grace's glamorous Hollywood heyday before she gave it all up to marry Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1956.
Speaking of which, did you know that Princess Grace's whirlwind romance with the prince was facilitated by none other than 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, and the rest, as they say, is history!
Before she became a real-life princess, Princess Grace was Hollywood royalty, starring alongside Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby in High Society (1956). She was just 26 years old when she retired from acting to marry Prince Rainier III, exchanging vows in a grand service at Saint Nicholas Cathedral, broadcast to an estimated 30 million viewers worldwide.
Though Camille never had the chance to meet her legendary grandmother, who tragically passed away at 52 following a brain hemorrhage from a car accident, it's clear she's inherited her iconic sense of style. And we can't help but wonder – what would Princess Grace think of her granddaughter's stunning tribute?
