Who is Elizabeth Taylor’s lookalike granddaughter, Naomi Wilding? She was spoiled with ‘exquisite’ YSL, Chanel and Dior dresses as a child by the actress; now she carries on her philanthropy work
Elizabeth Taylor’s granddaughter Naomi Wilding recently opened up about her Christmastime memories with the late Hollywood icon
“When I was six, my mum was very unwell, so she brought me to Los Angeles to stay with my dad while she recovered. Dad wasn’t really settled in the US yet, so I pretty much lived at granny’s house – in one of the rooms that later became a closet,” she told People magazine in December 2024. “That stay coincided with Christmas. I remember falling asleep next to the tree in the living room, and waking up to the sight of dozens of boxes addressed to me under the tree.”
Wilding went on to talk about the “most elaborate” gifts that Taylor had picked out for her. “All were from Saks 5th Avenue – a silk nightdress and dressing gown by Christian Dior, dresses by YSL, Chanel, and Dior, as well as jackets and outfits by Saks. They were all exquisite, and completely impractical for the rural life I would go back to, but I loved them.” She added: “Granny liked to spoil me!”
