Aristotle Onassis' billionaire granddaughter Athina Roussel has swapped her usual down-to-earth looks for a new image that can only be described as downright sophisticated.

Her brown hair lightened to a soft summer blonde, the 19-year-old showed off her glamorous daytime look as she joined her boyfriend Alvaro Mirada on the eve of a Hamburg derby event. Athina, who is often spotted in equestrian gear and casual denim, also seemed be sporting a new slimline silhouette in a tailored cream-coloured jacket worn with black trousers.

Athina's spectacular transformation comes more than a year after she took control of the Onassis empire upon turning 18. The teenager is already leaving her mark on the fortune, reportedly putting her grandfather's famed Greek island, Skorpios, on the market for £200 million.
