Chanel's Karl Lagerfeld recognised her charisma early on, and compared her to a youthful Brigitte Bardot |
As a toddler Charlotte was known as a frequent visitor to high end boutiques perusing the latest fashions alongside her mum. And she was an eight-year-old schoolgirl when Chanel designer and family friend Karl Lagerfeld pronounced: "She makes me think of Brigitte Bardot."
By the time she had reached the age of 15, Charlotte was already a budding fashion icon and international teen pin-up. But while other girls her age flocked to imitate the skimpy tops and low-slung jeans of Britney Spears, Charlotte highlighted her model looks with an ultra chic wardrobe.
"She is a princess and yet she's also cool," said celeb watcher Nathalie Dupuys from Elle magazine. "She's fantastically beautiful, so she can get away with just about anything. But although she always wears the latest thing, her look never lapses into vulgarity. She wouldn’t just wear trainers with a crop top, showing off her belly button."
