Thank you very much for these nice pics...I personally think Steph was one of the best-looking babies I've ever seen and the best of this beautiful family (maybe together with Andrea who, when 2 years old, was drop dead gorgeous!)...What do you think? There's also a wonderful Grace in a picture...Kisses

Hi Michelle!

Thanks for the darling photos! Stephanie was a really cute kid.

Grace, I sometimes think that Stephanie is prettier than Caroline. Many of her facial expressions are a great deal like her mum's. Andrea was a gorgeous baby and a really, really handsome young man!

Hi again!!!

Well, to me Stephanie is kind of sweeter than Caroline. I mean Caroline is god damn beautiful and everything.....but Steph has always been a real cutie. She has this sweet smile (as my brother says...lol) and I especially like her eyes. :)

She very much looks like her mom in many situations. Whenever I get to watch an old Grace Kelly movie...and I see Grace moving or her facial expressions....I sometimes feel like I'm watching Steph. But that's only normal I guess 'cause they're mother and daughter.

As for the boys: Yes Andrea is a real looker...but Pierre is cute in his own way too....and then there's Louis who is a little Albert - Daniel - mix....already a handsome little heartbreaker.... :P

I completely agree about Steph having the same expressions as her mother...in High Society it always strucks me...on the other hand I see more of Grace in Caroline physically...
Anyway, in my post, I only talked about the Grimaldis as little kids: to explain myself, I think Grace is definetely the most beautiful of the whole family, but I think little Steph was better than little Grace; at about three or four she was really wonderful...
As a matter of fact they are all so good-looking that it is quite hard to classify!
I keep adoring Caroline anyway...just had to say it! Love these discussions, take care

What good genes they all have!

Stephanie was an adorable child!

Julia · #7 03-07-2003, 06:49 PM

Hi everyone and welcome LLaura!

Grace was beautiful and very elegant. She had a very soft and serene look. A sweet look to her. Caroline is beautiful but in a more exotic, confident and harder way (does that make sense?). Stephanie is also beautiful but has her mum's softer facial expressions.

They are all really attractive people and each so unique! :)

Julia, I agree completely. I think that someone in the first part of the thread said that Stephanie was sweet and I think that is so true. Caroline definitely has that exotic beauty quality about her, but I definitely think of the softness of Princess Grace when I look at Stephanie. I think that it has to do with her eyes and her smile. Stephanie has extremely lovely child-like qualities about her. My father always said that no matter how outrageous Stephanie's life became or what she did she would always be forgiven and always be considered to be cool and down to earth, because she is just so ridiculously adorable and sweet looking. Caroline is gorgeous as well, but there is a definite toughness about her-she has always been very mature looking. She would never be mistakened for a porcelain baby doll.

Hi :) :) :)

First of all, you're so right with what you said. Steph is icredably sweet-looking. She has such a taking-your-breath-away smile.....

Stephanie in the 80s

uhhh...such a smile...

:)

And as for little Camille's christening: Yes the man on Stephanie's right is Camille's daddy Mr. Jean-Raymond Gottlieb (35).....and yes, he's extremly handsome

....

...Camille's with her Daddy every second weekend and half of the school holidays....he fetches her at school or at Steph's house and sometimes he even takes Louis and Pauline for some days....and vice versa....

Jean and Camille on the beach....

...the two of them...

...splash.... :P

Thank you, Mimi for the wonderful photos! :)

Do you, or anyone else, know why Stephanie never considered (at least I am guessing she didn't) marrying Jean-Raymond? Not the perfect personality match, etc...??

michelle · #11 03-10-2003, 10:19 AM

Hi Julia!

Well, Stephanie never married Jean-Ryamond because she found out very quickly that her feelings for him were not strong enough. They both thought in the beginning they could be forever in love with each other but realized very quickly that their love was not so strong....and decided to go on in life as friends. And that's what they are today...they agreed to be Camiille's afactionate parents...and that they would do everything together for their little girl....and so they do. :)

Julia · #12 03-10-2003, 11:54 AM

Hi Mimi! Thanks for the answer! As always you are spot one! Stephanie and Jean-Raymond look to be very sweet with their little Camille...very sweet, indeed. :)

Julia · #14 03-10-2003, 08:09 PM

Hi Michelle!

How very cool that Stephanie helped you find your little brother in Monaco. No wonder he is so fond of her!

Seriously, she seems like a sweet and pretty down-to-earth kind of person. Thank you for sharing your story with us!

I think Stephanie could be more pretty than Caroline if she wanted to. I think Caroline is more ordinary than her... But Caroline seems to be more feminine, she worries more about her looks, ans she's always inpecably dressed... Steph is a tomboy :)

michelle · #16 11-07-2003, 02:25 PM

Yes you're right luuu, Stephs elegance isn't always visible. But her natural look is more interesting than Caros in my opinion....

This smile is so reminiscent of Grace, and just gorgeous...
