Truman Capote’s inner circle of top socialites and style icons — dubbed his “swans” — included the likes of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’ sister Lee Radziwill, Vogue editor Babe Paley, Italian aristocrat Marella Agnelli, Gloria Guinness, original “California Girl” Slim Keith and C.Z. Guest.
For its August issue, Town & Country has compiled a list of “50 modern swans,” which will no doubt spark debate as the list is peppered with as many “celebrity” DJs, fashion bloggers, models and children of stars and rockers as upper-crust types.
Making the cut of modern debutantes, who according to the magazine are “likely more interested in mastering warrior pose during Christmas in Tulum than in learning how to waltz,” are Man Repeller blogger Leandra Medine, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore’s daughter Tallulah, Zoë Kravitz, Lily Aldridge, Cara and Poppy Delevingne, Mick Jagger’s daughters Georgia and Lizzy, Sting and Trudie Styler’s daughter Coco Sumner, Amber Le Bon and Town & Country’s special projects editor Amanda Hearst.
