The latest celebrity gossip: meet Grace Kelly granddaughter Jazmin Grace Grimaldi in an amazing photo shoot by Michael Avedon. Check all the luxury dresses and also Grace Kelly Philadelphia house and the luxury interior decoration and glamour of the sets at Grace of Monaco movie where Nicole Kidman starred as Grace Kelly.

“When I was little, my mom would show me photographs of her, but I didn’t understand that she was this huge icon,” says Jazmin Grace Grimaldi of her paternal grandmother, Grace Kelly.

“I love the pictures where she’s quirky and smiling. There’s one of her wearing a bathing suit, holding an orange on a stick, with these excited eyes,” she says, recalling an image of a young Grace at the height of her screen career, before her marriage to Monaco’s Prince Rainier III, when she was not much older than the 23-year-old Jazmin is today. “She seems so natural and carefree.”

The eldest daughter of Prince Albert II, Jazmin lives in New York, where she attended Fordham University and is now embarking on a career as a singer and actress. She’s calling, though, from the Prince’s Palace of Monaco, where she’s visiting for the baptism of her twin baby half-sister and -brother.

Theatrically, she describes the majestic living room where she’s sitting, its pastel walls adorned with portraits of the late Princess Grace as she’s more traditionally remembered: demure Hollywood ingenue, elegant wife of Rainier III, and muse to fashion houses from Hermès to Christian Dior before she was killed in a car crash in 1982, at the age of 52.

Another of Jazmin’s favorite spots in Monaco’s sprawling, 235-room historic fortress on the French Riviera is the late princess’s dressing room, where many of her keepsakes are permanently enshrined. Jazmin, who shares her grandmother’s creamy complexion and is currently growing out a blonde pixie cut, was introduced to Kelly through her films. “One of my first and fondest memories involving my grandmother was watching High Society,” she says of the 1956 musical, in which Kelly starred alongside Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra. “It was the first time I realized we had a connection. I’m passionate about acting, singing, and dancing,” adds Jazmin. “I saw that in her in this movie. It was a real goose-bumps moment for me.”
