This weekend Bulgari revealed Lady Kitty Spencer as its new brand ambassador, signed up to show off the band's prestigious creations. It's a smart choice for the jeweler, since Lady Diana's niece is currently a rising star of the fashion world whose career looks set to take off in a big way in the coming years. So who is this British model?
Born in England, Kitty Spencer is the eldest daughter of Charles Spencer, the ninth Earl Spencer, and the former model Victoria Lockwood. The 27-year-old is, in fact, Lady Diana's niece and the cousin of Princes Harry and William. Despite this prestigious entourage, the blonde-haired, blue-eyed model still seems to have her feet on the ground, having grown up out of the media spotlight in South Africa before perusing activist and philanthropic activities.
More than just a pretty face
As well as her good looks and dream body, Kitty Spencer has a solid academic record. The budding model first studied psychology and English literature in South Africa, before getting a master's degree in luxury brand management in England. She also studied art history in Florence.
As well as her philanthropic activities, Kitty Spencer has an interest in fashion. Even before making her runway debut, she was spotted on the front row of fashion shows for some of the most prestigious labels, from Dior and Zimmermann to Schiaparelli, Bottega Veneta and Michael Kors.
Dolce & Gabbana and Bulgari
A turning point in Kitty Spencer's modeling career came in 2017, when she was named as an ambassador for Dolce & Gabbana. Represented by Storm Model Management, she has featured in several of the brand's advertising campaigns, whether alone or joined by other "celebrity offspring." She also walks the runway for the Italian fashion house at Milan Fashion Week. This exceptional partnership is likely to open many doors for the budding model.
May 19, the world's gaze was firmly fixed on Windsor, UK, for the eagerly anticipated wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Among the many glittering guests, Kitty Spencer, in particular, made a lasting impression in a hand-painted floral gown from Dolce & Gabbana. Her picture went viral on social media in just a few hours, boosting her Instagram following to some 356,000 users.
One week down the line, it's hardly surprising to see Kitty Spencer snapped up as an official ambassador for the jewelry house Bulgari -- a role that should put the rising star even more firmly in the spotlight.
