How Camille Gottlieb Became a Contemporary Version of Her Grandmother, Grace Kelly

Any list of fashion icons—the women who continue, unabated, to influence and inspire the looks of today—should include Grace Kelly. Her outfits and accessories, always exuding a unique and old-fashioned elegance, are repeatedly repurposed by celebrities and non-celebrities alike. Now, it seems Kelly’s own granddaughter Camille Gottlieb has been enchanted by her grandmother’s inexhaustible charm.

On the beach during a recent vacation in Corsica, the influencer picked up one of the iconic accessories from Alfred Hitchcock’s muse, the headscarf, repurposing it in a contemporary key.

It’s not hard to find photos of Kelly with a colorful and fanciful silk handkerchief knotted under her chin, and now Gottlieb is also sporting one. However, the granddaughter made a slight alteration, tying it behind her head for a modern and sunny allure.

She is wearing a floral scarf with a burgundy background, with flowers in different shades —orange, blue and yellow—paired with a knit cover-up in a color reminiscent of sand and a ruffled bikini. It’s coordinated with numerous pieces of jewelry: a necklace with a turquoise and gold pendant and a series of earrings, hoops with a diamond sunburst charm and crab-shaped studs with pink stones, to complete the seaside atmosphere.

“Pure happiness,” was the caption that the daughter of Princess Stéphanie wrote under the roundup of photos posted on Instagram, and where she mentioned some of her favorite things: sunshine, love, a dog, pétanque (the French equivalent of bocce), stars, and family.

This is not the first time Gottlieb has been inspired by her grandmother. At last month’s Red Cross Ball, she arrived in a dress inspired by one of Kelly’s most iconic outfits, the famous black-and-white dress worn in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1954 film Rear Window, which was designed by Edith Head.

Once again, Gottlieb has shown that Kelly’s style does not only belong to the past, but continues to renew itself through new interpretations capable of making it even more timeless.
