Fans saw a likeness between Lucia Sofia Ponti and her grandmother Sophia Loren, as the model joined a group of about 20 young women aged 16 to 22 who were presented to society.
On November 30, 2024, the daughter of Sasha Alexander and Edoardo Ponti dazzled in an amazing Giorgio Armani Privé gown. The strapless gown had a pleated A-line skirt with white and charcoal gray stripes, accented with delicate lace and beaded decorations.
At the event, held at the Shangri-La Hotel in Paris, Edoardo shared a sweet moment with his daughter on the dance floor. The dance moved gracefully, with Edoardo spinning her in a classic dance move and then holding her close by the waist. They exchanged smiles and light conversation, creating a heartwarming scene during their dance.
Lucia also posed for photos with Princess Eugenia de Borbón and Apple Martin. Standing in the center, she was flanked by the two, forming a beautiful three in the elegant portrait. Eugenia is the daughter of HRH Prince Louis Alfonso, Duc d’Anjou, a Legitimist pretender to the French throne, and his wife, Marie-Marguerite Vargas Santaella, whereas Apple Martin is the daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin.
Lucia’s mother delighted fans by sharing a collage of photos from the event, highlighting her daughter’s elegance.
Sasha fondly recounted a childhood memory of her daughter.
She accompanied the photos with a lighthearted caption, “When Lucia was a little girl and we would tell her to ‘act like a lady,’ she would always get mad and say ‘I ain’t no lady.’ 😂 (check out the last pic, it’s that face.) I kept thinking of that this weekend watching our now young woman at @lebal.paris.”
Followers quickly praised how beautiful and graceful Lucia looked, echoing her grandmother’s timeless charm. One admirer exclaimed, “She’s stunning and WOW!” Another wrote warmly, “Awww!! Your baby girl is all grown up! 🥹🥹🥹.” Another shared a simple yet heartfelt sentiment, “Gorgeous Lucia! ❤️.”
Others couldn’t help but draw comparisons to her famous mother and grandmother, with one fan noting, “Omgosh. She looks so much like you and then she smiles and I see her grandma Sophia. Beautiful people and a beautiful night. And those dresses… Like a fairytale. 😍”
