Charlotte Ronson doesn't just dress some of Hollywood's most stylish stars like Rashida Jones, Ashlee Simpson and Nicole Richie, she's also BFFs with them.
The fashion designer, who's showing her latest collection at the Big Apple's Lincoln Center on Friday night, is sure to pack the front row with her A-list pals. Here, five need-to-know facts about Ronson.
She was born in England. The daughter of socialite Ann Dexter-Jones and real estate mogul and band manager Laurence Ronson, she grew up around Keith Moon, Keith Richards and Daryl Hall. Her mother later married Foreigner frontman Mick Jones and moved the family to New York City.
She has famous siblings. In addition to being a sought-after DJ, her fraternal twin sister Samantha Ronson is best known for her volatile relationship with Lindsay Lohan. The designer's big bro, Mark Ronson, produced Amy Winehouse's classic album Back to Black and recently married French model-actress Josephine De La Baum.
