When Lucia Sofia Ponti was looking for the perfect attire for the debutante gown, she drew inspiration from Sophia. She disclosed, “My grandmother always believed in timeless elegance and the importance of wearing something that reflects your true self. Growing up, she taught me the value of simplicity, tailoring, and always adding a touch of uniqueness to your outfit.”

Lucia shared that her grandmother’s wardrobe was filled with pieces that told a story, a mindset she has since carried with her. “I tend to go for dresses or clothes that make me feel confident but also are comfortable to wear,” she opened up.

Lucia admires her grandmother for her dedication to remaining true to herself and never compromising her authenticity to meet others’ expectations. She finds this unwavering commitment inspiring, often feeling grateful to have such a remarkable role model.

The model also shared a personal connection to Sophia’s work, mentioning that “House Boat” was the first film of her grandmother’s she ever watched, and it remains her favorite.

Lucia’s career was significantly shaped by the influence of her grandmother. As a child, she was captivated by the transformation that took place in her room whenever Sophia stayed at their home. Lucia would vacate her bedroom for her grandmother, and the room would be filled with hairpieces, jewelry, and glamorous clothing.

However. she chose not to wear any of her grandmother’s jewelry to the debutante ball. Instead, she reflected on the most precious advice her grandmother had given her: to always be herself. This wisdom, along with her grandmother’s enduring strength and resilience, continues to inspire her as she embarks on her own journey.

Sophia’s glamour and advice prepared Lucia for events such as the debutante. She said that being involved in the ball holds deep significance for her, especially due to the charitable organizations it supports, such as ARCFA and the Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital in New York.
