Spotted in the French Riviera: Sofia Richie in 2025’s Chicest Vacation Trend

Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc has a long history of being where chic people stay in the French Riviera. Located on the southern tip of Cap d'Antibes, the rose-colored hotel, built in 1869, has welcomed Pablo Picasso, Marlene Dietrich, Ernest Hemingway, Monica Bellucci, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Harrison Ford's iconic short-shorts and boat shoes photo from Cannes Film Festival in 1982 was taken outside, as were all the photos, of course, at Sofia Richie's 2023 wedding to Elliot Grainge. There's a reason why it's already booked almost completely solid all summer, with per-night prices starting at roughly $1,600 per night once rooms free up. Some suites will cost you more like $6,000 per night. Everyone wants to stay there, but only some people can.

If you're not one of those lucky few (same), don't fret. You can still look like a regular at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc simply by following Grainge's lead and utilizing fashion's most versatile accessory: a silk scarf. On her recent trip to the hotel—this time, with her husband and their one-year-old daughter, Eloise—the model tied a black-and-champagne silk scarf around her head like a bandana, pairing it with Saint Laurent sunglasses, a Gucci one-piece swimsuit, black trousers, and red flip-flops from The Row. She finished off the perfect beach-day ensemble with a chocolate-brown, knit tote bag by Miu Miu, and two gold pendant necklaces, one bearing Eloise's name in cursive letters.

What makes silk scarves so perfect for summer, and particularly for vacation, is their versatility. This season, we've seen them not only worn Grainge's way, but also as a strapless top, a handbag, and around the waist like a cool belt or pareo. You can also tie one to your handbag's strap for a pop of color or around your neck. If you happen to be driving from France to Monaco, secure one around your head, Grace Kelly style, to protect your coiffure.
