Sophia Loren’s lookalike makes her public debut in vintage style

Legendary actress Sophia Loren has a similar granddaughter, Lucia-Sofia Ponti, and she makes her public debut in the most vintage-inspired way imaginable: at a debutante ball.

That’s right, debutante balls still exist, but with a significant change. The debutante ball, held in Paris on November 30, has been renamed “le Bal” and is designed to raise money for charities that help young women. Loren’s granddaughter Lucia makes her debut there and incorporates all of her grandmother’s fashion tips.

“My grandmother always believed in timeless elegance and the importance of wearing something that reflects your true self. Growing up, she taught me the importance of simplicity, tailoring and adding a touch of uniqueness to an outfit,” she told Hello! Magazine where you can see how similar she really is to her grandmother. “Her wardrobe was full of pieces that told a story, and I took that attitude with me.”

During the interview, she tried on a number of Armani dresses from the Fall 2018 Haute Couture collection (which is pretty special considering how closely Giorgio Armani is associated with Loren). According to the outlet, she opted for a vintage-style cream dress that featured intricate lace, beading, and sequins throughout.

So why did she choose this dress? Well, in the interview, she added what kind of look she usually prefers, saying, “I tend to wear dresses or clothes that make me feel confident but are also comfortable to wear.”

For those who don’t know, Loren has two sons: Carlo Ponti and Edoardo Ponti. Edoardo has two children named Lucia Sofia (born May 12, 2006) and Leonardo Fortunato (born December 20, 2010).

Carlos also has two children, Vittorio Leone Ponti (born April 2, 2007) and Beatrice Lara (born March 15, 2012).
