Beatrice Borromeo, known for her effortless elegance and sharp style, is following in the footsteps of Grace Kelly. At the Rose Ball on Saturday in Monte Carlo, Pierre Casiraghi’s wife paid tribute to the Monaco princess with one of her signature hairstyles—a twisted braid worn like a headpiece.

To finish off her look, Beatrice added the iconic Bird on a Rock brooch by Tiffany & Co.—a rare piece released 25 years ago, featuring a stunning 128.54-carat yellow diamond. The design, which can be worn in different ways, represents joy and freedom—two ideas Carolina of Monaco’s daughter-in-law brings to life with her own style.

At 39, Beatrice captured the unmistakable glamour of Grace Kelly, the legendary Princess of Monaco who died in a car crash on September 14, 1982. More than a tribute, the gesture underscored her role as the Grimaldi family’s true style heir. She later shared two photos showing the details of her red dress and the jewel in her braid.

Prince Rainier’s wife and mother of Caroline, Albert, and Stéphanie often wore this hairstyle with the same elegance that now defines her grandson Pierre’s wife. Hitchcock’s former muse also used to decorate her braid with fine jewelry, especially with shimmering pearls woven through—a detail that added even more sophistication to her already iconic style.

Beatrice continues to carry Grace Kelly’s legacy—the iconic Princess of Monaco and Hollywood star who defined style in European royalty. She’s often taken inspiration from Grace’s timeless elegance, echoing her hairstyles and signature looks. At the 2019 Rose Ball, she wore a sleek Italian bun that framed her neckline, almost identical to the one Grace wore during an official visit to Paris in 1959.

Beatrice is a thoughtful and driven woman who’s built a full life in Monaco with her husband, Pierre Casiraghi, and their two sons, Stefano and Francesco. Her relationship with Pierre led her to leave her journalism career in Italy, but she didn’t step away from her professional life. She found a new path in film, launching her own production company and making her directorial debut with The Prince Who Never Reigned, a Netflix documentary series about Victor Emmanuel of Savoy.
