She presents historys first It Girls": Marie Antoinette Louisa of Prussia Empresses Sisi of Austria and Eugenie of France. She relates how Queen Victorias sorrow and
propriety transformed her country and how an impeccably styled Americans love for Edward VIII upended the British monarchy. From the irreproachably elegant styles of Grace Kelly to Lady Diana Jordans Queen Rania to Princess Letizia of Spain we move on to the newest icons: couture-loving Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece Princess Marie of Denmark and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie of York whose faces and party antics grace the tabloids on a weekly basis.
