Princess Ghislaine de Polignac (5 September 1918 – January 2011) was a prominent member of Paris society, bon vivant, fashion stylist and promoter, and author.
On 7 July 1939, she married Prince Edmond Jean Henri Marie de Polignac (2 April 1914 - 13 February 2010) of the French noble family.
A court action by the Prince to prevent her subsequently using her title failed, and she remained Princess de Polignac for the remainder of her life.
[1] She subsequently built a career using her extensive contacts to assist society figures, and to create publicity for fashion houses and designers, including Pierre Cardin.
Her lovers included Duff Cooper when British Ambassador to France who wrote in his diary "She is a girl after my own heart, good company, a formidable appetite for pleasure and no nonsense about love".
