Bianca Brandolini d'Adda

This Italian doll was born into a Venetian aristocrat family. They have two ancestral palaces, Palazzo Brandolin Rota and Palazzo Morosini Brandolin which are conveniently located on the Grand Canal. Casual. Brandolini’s mother, Countess Georgina, is a French-Brazilian model who once worked as Valentino’s artistic muse, so it’s no surprise that Bianca followed in her mother’s footsteps and became a model for Dolce & Gabbana - later becoming the face of their fashion brand. The perfectly tanned and six-foot-tall beauty is also a regular at fashion shows, especially when it comes to Giambattista Valli. Like every Italian she embraces her culture and is very close to her family. Oh, and there was that whole thing about her being involved romantically with her second cousin - the heir to the Fiat throne, Lapo Elkann.
