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.
