🏠 Step inside the world of cultural icon Lee Radziwill with an exclusive tour of her remarkable New York, London, and Paris homes! 🌍 Join us as we delve into the exquisite interiors and fashion moments that defined the life of this legendary style maven.
👑 Known for her impeccable taste and cultured elegance, Lee Radziwill, sister to Jackie Kennedy-Onassis, created homes that reflect her unique blend of sophistication and individuality. From the grandeur of New York to the classic charm of London and the romantic allure of Paris, each residence tells a captivating story.
🛋️ In this video, we'll take a closer look at the interior design choices that made Lee Radziwill's homes truly one-of-a-kind. Explore the timeless elegance, the influence of the Bouvier sisters, and the impact of her illustrious family, including the iconic Jackie Kennedy.
🌟 Don't miss out on this exclusive glimpse into the world of Princess Lee Radziwill and her extraordinary residences. Whether you're a fan of the Kennedy legacy, interested in interior design, or simply fascinated by luxury homes, this video is a must-watch!
Lee Radziwill, born Caroline Lee Bouvier, was more than just the younger sister of the iconic Jackie Kennedy Onassis. She carved her own path, weaving a life filled with glamour, artistic pursuits, and a touch of controversy.
Born into New York City's high society in 1933, Radziwill's life was privileged. Debuting in 1950, she was hailed as a leading socialite and graced the pages of Life magazine. Unlike her sister's conventional path, Lee dabbled in acting, though her foray on stage in the 1960s received harsh critiques.
Radziwill's true passions laid elsewhere. She found success in public relations, notably working for Giorgio Armani. Her keen eye for aesthetics led her to a rewarding career in interior design.
Marriage to Polish Prince Stanisław Radziwiłł in 1959 not only bestowed upon her the title Princess Lee Radziwill but also introduced her to the European social scene. She later married American businessman Herbert Ross.
Radziwill's life was a tapestry woven with threads of social prominence, artistic endeavors, and personal struggles. She navigated the spotlight cast upon her by her family lineage while forging her own identity. While some saw her as living in her sister's shadow, Lee Radziwill was a multifaceted individual who left her own mark on the world.

Even before it was mentioned in the video I was noticing that Lee Radziwill had a lot of books. As someone who loves to read, especially liked seeing all those shelves and stack of books. -- Something that probably isn't well-known is that when Grey Gardens, the home of Lee's aunt and cousin , the elder and younger Edith Beales, was cleaned out once tehe situation had become critical, Lee was involved in the physical cleaning out of the house. Jacqueline is known for sending the Beales financial support, but Lee was the one was there in that filthy house getting if cleaned and repaired and deserves recognition for helping her family members.
That is why I like old money. Timeless elegance.
So true!
Beautiful! Refreshing to see style and grace in interior design compared with today’s sterile and faux simplicity.
Books are the ultimate refinement for the soul and intellect, they are still too this day part of the best dewlings of the world . i for one adore books in décor.
Yikes. The red rooms at the beginning of this video were odd....vis a vis old money decorating. Things picked up afterward!
@@susanseverance9683 yes decor got a simplicity factor these days i agree with you. Books are still relevant in homes though. Happy Sunday Susan !
She did what she did to survive and live well. She was well read and educated . Back then, women were not so focused on careers but finding a good man.
Absolutely stunning! I particularly loved her Paris apartment but all of her homes were gorgeous.
My personal style icon is Dina Merrill but Lee Radziwell is a close second. I remember seeing her photos in my mothers magazines. Always elegant and yet welcoming.
I completely agree! Both Dina Merrill and Lee Radziwell had such timeless and elegant styles. It's always so inspiring to look back at those iconic fashion moments.
Lee was absolutely stunning as were the homes she lived in!!❤
The Paris apartment is a masterclass in timeless design, and a distillation of her personal style. For example, each element is a signifier: the 18th giltwood mirror carved in the manner of naturalistic branches elevates the room, and a nod to period antiques. Otherwise it is supremely edited and considered. Much of the upholstery is in just one fabric: A Chinoiserie fabric by Le Mararch: the white ground of the fabric is echoed by the cream painted walls. A sofa opposite is in a sold dark pink as an accent color and a pair of slipper chairs in a stripe in a similar color. Pattern, solid, stripe in a similar color palette. A series of botanical prints from her previous houses are arranged above the sofa in an odd number (11 in total) with about 3" between each framed print. These are insider design details, and I would recommend any design student to study this apartment closely on what defines classic and timeless design.
So much class, so much elegance, and what a taste for decor! Love it!
Yes! Thank you!
Very interesting, I always thought she lived in the shadow of Jackie, but this proves differently.
Her home on East 72nd Street was an apartment, not a townhouse.
So sumptuous. The best of the best.
The verbal description did not go with that red room or some of those other very strange rooms. Some of it was nice and some of it was horrible.
LOVE!!! I'm in my mid 50's, and have been an antiques and art collector all of my life. Miss Radziwell's abodes are classic and timeless. I wish younger generations would embrace a more traditional approach but it seems that most young people prefer Mid Century Modern or industrial chic. I have accepted that I'm perhaps a tad dated, and am thankful that, although not my taste, people are at least buying and collecting SOMETHING other than Ikea and Target.
Antiques and art are back! mid-century and Industrial is out. So, you are not dated. The thing about this revisit of art and antiques is some subtle changes -there is a lot more color, and wallpaper, and no accent walls. Table lamps have patterned fabic shades. Walls have contrast trim, where the trim is a shade or more darker, or an accent. There is "uxexpected red' is accessories. There is color drenched walls where the ceiling is the same color...and some very moody, dark painted rooms offset by artwork...its back to traditional but just refreshed in a new way.
They are beautiful.
THE couch in the sussex house is the couch carol her daughter had in her home in NY HOUSEWIVES!!! THE same awww
Timeless and exquisite of its time as well. Loved this video. Thank you.
Yes Yes, Another notable well-to-doer with exquisite taste. Obviously I wasn’t scheduled to be on the good Lords conveyor belt that day .... wasn’t quite put together yet , sooo I was put on hold until completed and then popped onto the next conveyor belt and sent on my way ( like we all were ) , and now here I am / here we are, apparently right where we’re meant to be. Hallelujah 💥 💔 🇺🇸
Obviously all very nice, but Babe Paley's sense of design was even much better.
Thank you for sharing a very nice lady!!😊😊😊
Thanks for watching!😀😀😀😍😍😍
The Paris home location is beautiful. When you can step out tobthe terrace and see the Effiel Tower close by is so so beautiful!!😊😊😊
Happy New Years!!! 🎅 ☺
Wow.
Everyone has their own taste, but I think she may of known a little about decorating.
The abundance of patterns is so much it almost looks cluttered. No where for the eye to rest....literally no rest.
Disappointing that there were no pictures of the properties in the south of France
A better time.
Glad she wasn't my decorator.
Oh please… most books say Lee was never an intellectual, but Jackie was. As for the books, they were decorations. She was unsuccessfully in most, if not all, of her business endeavors, including her decorating business. A “fashion ambassador” is a famous person who wears designer clothes to get publicity for the designer. All her life, Lee was “rescued” by Jackie. That’s probably why in Jackie’s will, Lee got nothing, because Jackie bailed her little Sis out frequently.
She has the same prints of botanics in most of her rooms and houses...
Wow. Busy, busy, busy. All that floral and all that color. Definitely old school. I'm glad that went out of style 40 years ago.
Lee’s mother Janet pushed and manipulated Lee and Jackie to “marry well.” They were social climbers with inflated talents. Their “exquisite” taste was hiring talented designers and paying them with their husbands’ money. J. Randy Taraborrelli gives the scoop in his book.
What is the name of the book, by J. Randy Taraborrelli
Her style is overly busy.
Makes my head spin. All those patterns, all that color. Definitely old school. Depressing
Trop d’objets,trop de choses...un peu de respiration...
Smoker not so elegant
Back then, almost everyone smoked. It was considered elegant and sophisticated. Personally, as a child, I was not enamored of the second hand smoke my brothers and I endured in cars, planes, and restaurants.
The more privilege you have, the more opportunity you have. The more opportunity you have, the more responsibility you have.
What was her social responsability? What are the issues she dedicated her time? What is her legacy? Who are her children?
In those days house & interiors were designed by an architect and a decorator.
@@patricia.parra33 I don't know a lot about Lee Radziwill , but something really worthwhile she did though not well known was to help her Beale aunt and cousin, Big Edie and Little Edie, when the situation at Grey Gardens had become a crisis. Jacqueline sent money to help, but Lee was actually in the house when it was at its worst to help clear out and clean. The condition of the Grey Gardens house was so bad that it would probably be considered a bio-hazard, to use present-day terminology. When the Maysle brothers made the documentary "Grey Gardens" after this, they actually wore flea collars in the house and this was after the clean-up if my memory is correct. When her relatives were in trouble, Lee was there on-site to help out. I don't know what what have happened to Big Edie and Little Edie without Lee''s help.
The industry targeted women of high society back then and doctors.
@@user-vi7cn3xv6v Right. Advertising works. As a retired nurse, I remember the days when a doctor would smoke in our nurses lounge. Granted, only one, but still.
RIP
My impression of Lee is she never learned who she was. Her life long insecurity and jealosy of her sister wasted all of her privilege and blessings.
She and stash never worked, lived off rich friends and jackie helped her a lot. Had the kennedys not been so famous noone would have eved know who lee was.
Hi! I would just have to add that it may have been reversed -had Jackie not married the Kennedys we may not have necessarily known about Jackie, but Lee had from a very early age established herself even before Jackie had met John F. Kennedy : Lee was educated in the history of art by Bernard Berenson, one of the most important scholars of Renaissance Art, and Lee began writing to him as a teenager. It was Lee who had the connections and friendships with Andy Warhol, Peter Beard, the Rolling Stones, Truman Capote, Giorgio Armani, and more.
Lee also introduced Ari Onnassis to Jackie. She slept with him first.
@@linniem5982 That is right! Lee was "International Set', for sure.
LEE WAS VERY FREE WITH HER 'AFFECTION'. THEY KEPT ONASSIS IN THE FAMILY, NICE TO SHARE. SOME HAVE SAID KENNEDY HAD TUMBLE WITH LEE IN A BEDROOM WHIILE IN THE WH. BUT SO MUCH GOSSIP DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH IS TRUE. I DO FIND THIS VERY SAD.
A bouvier
She had beautiful taste…
I hated the matching fabric on the walls & furniture. While I like coral prints, all the matching floral prints on the walls which matched with the furniture was just too much
It was the thing to do n the 80s. Its beautiful but one has to b cognizant of tasteful prints not loud bold prints or it takes ovr the room. Lucky lady to b born into culture and wealth.
The self-indulgence and narcissism of the sisters is breathtaking. They certainly made hay with what they had going for them.
The walls are too busy too much color. I don't see those homes with classy, sofisticated style.
“Classic and timeless… sumptuous fabrics… combining classic and contemporary… sophisticated and timeless, adorned with luxurious fabrics and classic artwork…” Who wrote this? Repetitive and vapid… vapid and repetitive…
Thank goodness people's taste have changed. No decorator in their right mind would have a portfolio looking like hers today.
🤣🤣🤣
Her taste is timeless, what a silly thing to say! Only the nouveau riche would change decorations according to what is in fashion.
@@ed_leonardi Let's see you decorate your house in all those roses and see how many friends will tell you the truth.
@@user-vi7cn3xv6v I am lucky to have friends with very good taste, mainly Europeans, of course!
IMO... 95% of that stuff was pure TRASH! I know she thought her decorating taste was above reproach.. but most of that stuff was AWFUL!
Socialite. She financially destroyed all 3 husbands with her expensive tastes.
Less is more…
Definitely. I hate some of these rooms. #toomuch
BUSY and TACKY
Unfortunately, in reality she was an over entitled personage, they would go shopping and expect to get the items from the retailer at no cost and on top of that she would expect the items to be delivered at the cost of the retailer. Basically an over entitled thief. Don’t be taken in by the apparent sophistication, not the case.
No thank you -very strange -- lots of clutter
Most of the so called fashion and style icons of that period - Radziwill and the Duchess of Windsor, to name two - fell down badly, imo, when it came to their hairstyles. As they aged, both scraped the hair off their foreheads into bouffants. When you have a high forehead, I don't think this is a good look, allied with extreme scrawniness. It was too harsh a style, they needed something softer and more feminine.
You’re suffering from “presentism” or applying current values to prior times. She was fabulous and very much a person of her time.
A cousin of mine sat behind her and Jackie at the graduation of my cousin's granddaughter with Tony Radziwill at Choate. She said their hair was so thin and they both looked so "scrawny" that she was deeply disappointed in their looks. Photographs are not always the real thing. l@@nikkil764
I didn't care for her style her places look like where an old lady would live.
I am sure your IKEA decorated apartment looks lovely though, doesn't it?
@@ed_leonardi Why does yours?
@@matta8931 🤣😂
TACKY, depressing mess
Notevole buon gusto certamente frutto di arredatoe8 di un certo tipo e scuola diciamo nei solchi della tradizione più collaudata vivaddio. Molta certo disponibilità economica certo amicizie e appoggio vuoi familiari vuoi d altro genere influenti. Donna che pare miria e quasi estremamente timida e innocente direi senz'altro che è così. Sono sicura che è anche una persona per bene nella vita poi jnk fa le scelte che crede anche in base a desiderata di vita educazione ed estrazione familiare livello di istruzione letture personali amicizie casuali o predisposte gusti personali patrimonio genetico incontro o esperienze subite d autorità ineliminabili ma di cuo si sarebbe fatto volentieri a meno oppure decisioni intime e autonomo esercizio del libero arbitrio. C è anche un libero arbitrio che accetta volontariamente le vessazioni del demonio cioè le respinge con la preghiera e la vota sacramentale ma non fugge in oaradisi apparenti che poi sono peggio della padella da cui fugge. Non c è croce senza spine di rosa e di corona di spine e flagellazione precedente e i vangeli xi insegnano e anche l apocalisse che la celeste Gerusalemme verrà al giudizio di Dio finale e che la vira e un pellegrinaggio e un passaggio e che cristo l hanno messo in croce e poi seppellito perché sulla croce è morto ucciso dal demonio e dopo tre giorni e risorto e dopo 40 asceso al cielo. Questo sanno i cristiani e sappiamo anche che il Golgota aspetta tutti i discepoli di cristo o coloro che per un verso o l altro condividono questa situazione.Diciamo che speriamo nell aldilà il mio non sarà sicuramente quello della Principessa Radziwill anche perché sino una persona totalmente differente ammiro molto l eleganza e la classe e la raffinatezza sofisticata dell insieme mi piace tantissimo la signora pare essere una donna di gran classe e dal gusto squisito ma come si dice normalmente panettiere fa il tuo mestiere e se il buon Dio avesse voluto un destino del genere per il mio cammino e vagabondaggio terreno diciamo jl pellegrinaggio o se vogliamo il mio itinerario personale ad deum per parafrasare il santo di Bagnoregio ebbene io non ho dubbi che il buon Dio avrebbe provveduto personalmente poiché sono anche certa che persone e cose non sono intercambiabili e che ognuno è nel posto che gli compete a combattere la buona battaglia per la salvezza della propria ef altrui anima talvolta serve uno scenario di supporto per la commedia da mettere in scena talvolta molto elaborato talvolta no basta la disciplina interiore e forse è la situazione piu invidiabile meno soggetta a tranelli trabocchetti trappole etc. Scrutare il cuore umano è l attività più difficile ed importante nella vita
