Carolina Lansing, the granddaughter of renowned designer Carolina Herrera, made a striking appearance at the prestigious Le Bal in Paris, where she caught the eye of photographer Jonathan Becker. He noted her captivating smile, reminiscent of her grandmother, who unfortunately could not attend the event. Instead, Carolina expressed her happiness in being surrounded by family during this memorable occasion.
Lansing donned a stunning strapless dress featuring playful polka dots and a dramatic bow on the skirt, designed by Wes Gordon, the current creative director of the Carolina Herrera brand. To complement her outfit, she wore a diamond flower choker, a sentimental piece with deep familial ties. “My grandfather Reinaldo used to give jewelry like this to my grandmother, so for me, this is a very nice way to keep him in mind,” she shared.
Among the guests was Princess Eulalia of Orléans Bourbon, who dazzled in a Tony Ward dress and adorned herself with a tiara showcasing the Bourbon fleur de Lis. She expressed her immediate connection to the dress, stating, “As soon as I saw it, I knew that was it.” Moreover, she revealed that her father had sent photos of her to the king, praising her beauty and the elegance of her attire.
A testament to both her heritage and aspirations, Princess Eulalia is currently studying finance at St. Andrews University, where she impressively speaks five languages and is in the process of learning Russian, showcasing a commitment to personal growth and cultural understanding.
The event not only highlighted familial legacies in fashion and royal connections but also reflected a blend of tradition and modernity as these young women continue to carve their own paths while honoring their rich histories.
