Hey, here are some stunning beautiful models I know but also well-bred:

Princess Marella Caracciolo di Castagneto-Agnelli

Anne de Zogheb ([SIZE=-1]daughter of Lebanese diplomat Count Charles de Zogheb, ex-wife of Paul Anka)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Jan Elle, 1961[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1] [/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]Nena Von [/SIZE][SIZE=-1]Schlebrügge[/SIZE][SIZE=-1] (daughter of Baron [/SIZE][SIZE=-1]Friedrich Karl Bernhard Felix Heinrich Franz von Schlebrügge, mother of Uma Thurman)[/SIZE]

Stella Tennant (granddaughter of Lord Andrew Cavendish, 11th Duke of Devonshire)

Didn't Princess Stephanie of Monaco do a little modeling?
 
Lord Frederik Windsor, Zara Phillips, Rosario Nadal (wife of Prince Kyril), Rafael Medina (Duke of Feria), Eugenia Martinez de Irujo (Duchess of Montoro, daughter of the Duchess of Alba)
 
I remember that Countess Katia of Limburg-Stirum, nee Jvr. della Faille de Leverghem was a catwalk model. She is married to Count Thierry of Limbourg-Stirum, who is a grandson of the late Count and Countess of Paris (head of the French Royal Family).

Now, could someone make my day and show me some model pictures of Rafael de Medina ;)
 
 
I thought this could be a nice thread but now it is a pity that with 'models' not is meant 'role models' but catwalk models.

Can it be more superficial?

I thought with the question was meant aristicratic ladies who had so much influence on society that what they did, or wore, or purchased immediately became fashion. Or artistocrat ladies who became immensely influenceable, thanks to a relationship or thanks to having a salon which was frequented by politicians, artists, authors, etc.

Famous mistresses who became a role model also for society were for an example Diane de Poitiers, Duchesse de Valentinois (1499-1566) or Françoise-Athénaïs de Rochechouart de Mortemart, Marquise de Montespan (1641-1707).

Or for an example salons led by aristicrat ladies who became immensely influenceable. It even became rivalling salons between ladies who could claim to have the best and brightest as their guest. Everytheing they wore became fashion. Some late 19th and early 20th-Century Paris salons were major centres of music, including those of the Princesse de Polignac and Comtesse Greffulhe. In Spain, the Duchess of Alba had a salon which was renowned. Etc.

But I understand it is just about ladies of blue blood showing a dress for 40 seconds on a catwalk somewhere.

Yes, HenriM. We are of the same opinion...I was quite disgusted when I saw what "models" would mean , here in this thread. And I'm sad that for some people, being a "catwalk model" will be considered as a good thing. But, hum...If you wants to do a thing considered "good" today, do something that some years ago was bad, and you'll never be mistaken! :D And if you wants to do something really, really bad and being a "rebell", oh, just do something that some years ago was really, really good. Values are not only changed, but inversed! :rolleyes:

Ummm, I don't quite follow you two actually. Henri, forgive my ignorance, but I should think at least Marella Agnelli never really showed a dress for 40 seconds on a catwalk somewhere. She was modelling for some magazines in her early years as she's stunningly beautiful and elegant. And as for the "role model", are you referring to the spiritual way?(just a question indeed...:neutral:) I should say if you would have some ideas/examples about "role model", could you share them with me here?:)

And Vanesa, ummm, I don't quite get your reaction either. is it that disgusting?:ermm:I don't actually think modelling would be something "bad", it's nothing with ethic, but just an occupation. why does it have to be a good or bad thing? and i appreciate them just because many of them are truly beauties. furthermore, i don't think i have the right to judge other ppl's lives.:)

I don't see how modelling can be such a bad thing. Like any other job, if you behave decently there is no problem with that.
Any of these ladies is naked or making pornographic modelling.
In my opinion, modelling is a great work for a royal or no-royal (if they pretty and elegant, of course).
 
wasn't lady eloise anson, daughter of lord lichfield a model.

I find it quite rude that the both of you would knock down another member for starting an innocent discussion that you deem "superficial" as well as "disgusting".

Has it ever occurred to the both of you that your interest in royalty maybe deemed as "archaic" "pointless" "useless" (as well as other colorful adjectives) by millions of people in today's modern age?

Just because there are people out in this world whose interest differs vastly from yours you should be smart and mature enough not knock them down for it.

Essentially, if you have nothing nice or constructive to add to the conversation that you classify as "disgusting" and "superficial" do yourselves a favor and do not respond.


Finally, if you would like to start a new topic Role Models, Henri M., I'm sure a few people would find it an interesting discussion.


BACK ON TOPIC!
 
Archduchess Sophie von Habsburg was a model about 20 years ago.
 
It depends how you define being a model. Without any doubt there is a close relation between the fashion industry and royals - at least those who have star quality.

So a lot of Princesses may not have walked the catwalk but had their cover shoots taken for Vogue etc ... Princess Caroline, Fergie, Lady Di, Princess Mary come to my mind and I am sure there are much more. That's kind of modelling too although the purpose is making advertising for themselves / their country's designers / their monarchy.
 
Inès Marie Laetitia Eglantine Isabelle de Seignard de la Fressange (born 11 August 1957), is a French designer of fashion and perfumes.
She was born in Gassin, Var, France. Her French father (a marquis) was a stockbroker, and her mother was an Argentinian model. She grew up in an 18th century mill outside Paris with three brothers. Her grandmother was Madame Simone Jacquinot, heiress to the Lazard banking fortune. In the 1980s, she modeled for photographer Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel, becoming his muse, but in 1989, they had an argument and parted company. Ines does not now model very often. She is now a businesswomen with a chain of clothing boutiques, a designer and a consultant for Jean-Paul Gaultier.
In 1989, she became one of the series of models whose image represented Marianne, the French national emblem of reason and liberty.
In 1990, she married Luigi d’Urso, an Italian railroad executive.


Ines was/is a friend of Caroline of Monaco and was with her when she heard that her husband was killed in a motorboat accident
 
Her husband died one or two years ago. :sad:

:rolleyes: that's true. many of them are showing on tv/covers frequently...
 
Catherine Oxenberg Van Dien

"She transferred to Columbia University after deciding to pay her own way through college and start modeling. She was photographed for the covers of Vogue, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Harper's Bazaar, Redbook, Good Housekeeping, Los Angeles magazine and Interview."
 
Fiona Campbell-Warner married Baron Heinrich von Thyssen-Bornemiza,
Anne Cumming became the Duchess of Rutland, and
Bronwen Pugh, top model for Balmain, married Lord Astor.
 
And Charles Spencer's 1st wife, Victoria Lockwood.
 
Royals and advertising

I am a little bit confused about the fact, that Crownprince Frederik and Crownprincess Mary are wearing very often t-shirts, sweaters, caps or wests with advertising on it. Isn't it forbidden for royals to make advertising for commercial products?
 
Also HRH Princess Bianca di Savoia-Aosta was a model for Enrico Coveri for a while before she get married, about 20 years ago.
She was and is very beautiful and very tall. She had the model look.
