EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the 1930s, socialite and heiress Barbara Hutton, famously known as the 'poor little rich girl,' is seen enjoying a dining experience with her husband, Prince Alexis Mdivani, at the elegant Hotel de Paris in Bray. The photograph, published in The Bystander magazine in 1934, portrays Barbara in a vibrant parrot green gown, complete with a coordinating feathered cap, exuding an air of glamour and sophistication. Barbara Hutton, born in 1912, was an American heiress who gained notoriety for her numerous marriages and extravagant lifestyle. Her wealth, derived from her father's fortune, made her a target of media attention and earned her the unfortunate nickname. However, despite her controversial reputation, she was also known for her philanthropic efforts and charitable work. Prince Alexis Mdivani, a Georgian nobleman, was the first of Barbara's seven husbands. Their marriage took place in 1933, and this photograph captures a moment of happiness and contentment between the couple during their time at the luxurious Hotel de Paris in Bray. The Hotel de Paris, located in the picturesque village of Bray-on-Thames, was a popular destination for high society during the 1930s. The restaurant's reputation for exquisite cuisine and impeccable service attracted the rich and famous, making it the perfect setting for this stunning portrait of Barbara and Prince Alexis.
