It’s not every day you see someone step onto a red carpet and instantly bring back the golden age of Hollywood — but that’s exactly what Camille Gottlieb did at a recent gala in Monaco.
And it wasn’t just because of her striking resemblance to her grandmother, the legendary Grace Kelly.
It was also about the dress — a dazzling nod to one of Grace’s most iconic film looks.
A Tribute That Turned Heads at the Monaco Red Cross Gala
At just 27, Camille — daughter of Princess Stéphanie of Monaco and former palace bodyguard Jean Raymond Gottlieb — made a breathtaking entrance at the Monaco Red Cross Gala on Saturday.
Wearing a custom-made gown that mirrored Grace Kelly’s unforgettable style in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1954 classic Rear Window, Camille stunned the crowd.
The original look, crafted by legendary costume designer Edith Head, featured a navy bodice paired with a billowing white skirt — a combination that defined elegance.
Camille’s version updated the classic silhouette with sparkling silver floral details and a daring thigh-high slit, blending vintage charm with modern edge.
Honoring Her Grandmother With Style — and a Bit of Cartier
Camille didn’t just walk the red carpet in that gown — she made a statement.
Later on Instagram, she gave fans a behind-the-scenes peek and wrote, “Thanks to @elisabettafranchi, I was able to pay tribute to my grandmother with this beautiful dress.”
And in true royal fashion, she completed the look with Cartier jewelry, a touching nod to the brand that famously provided Grace Kelly’s engagement rings.
A Star-Studded Evening with the Monaco Royal Family
Camille wasn’t the only royal in attendance. Her uncle, Prince Albert, and his wife, Princess Charlene, were also present, adding to the family’s united front at one of Monaco’s most glamorous annual events.
The moment felt like more than just fashion — it was a reminder of the royal legacy Grace Kelly left behind after trading in her Oscar-winning Hollywood career for life as Princess of Monaco.
A Love Story That Started With a Photoshoot and a Train Ride
Grace Kelly’s journey from movie star to real-life royalty reads like something straight out of a classic film.
It all began in 1955 when she met Prince Rainier III of Monaco, thanks to a little matchmaking from actress Olivia de Havilland.
The two crossed paths when Grace was in France for the Cannes Film Festival, and the rest was history.
Their romance blossomed quietly — including a secret visit to Philadelphia where they spent a few days together before Rainier proposed.
A Royal Wedding Watched Around the World
In April 1956, Grace and Rainier officially married in a civil ceremony inside Monaco’s palace.
But under Monaco’s Napoleonic Code, they needed a second religious wedding, and it was nothing short of grand.
Held at Saint Nicholas Cathedral and officiated by Bishop Gilles Barthe, the royal wedding was watched by an estimated 30 million people worldwide — making it one of the most glamorous televised events of its time.
From Hollywood to Royalty — and Then, a Farewell to Film
Just before she officially became a princess, Grace starred in her final film, High Society, alongside Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby.
She retired from acting at just 26 years old, leaving behind a Hollywood career many still admire today.
Camille Keeps the Legacy Alive Through Style
Though Camille Gottlieb never got to meet her famous grandmother — Grace tragically passed away at just 52 following a car crash — it’s clear she’s inherited her sense of grace and elegance.
From the gown to the jewels to the poise on the red carpet, Camille’s appearance felt like more than just a tribute — it was a continuation of a legacy that continues to captivate the world.
