A video captured on Saturday, Feb. 1, and subsequently shared on Instagram, showcases the heartwarming and amusing moment when Foppiano witnesses her granddaughters fully embracing her distinctive styles. The granddaughters’ attire paid homage to their beloved matriarch, embodying both her fashion sense and unique personality, ranging from vintage classics to daring modern ensembles.
The highlight of the surprise came when the grandmother met her newborn granddaughter, evoking the best reaction from her. Olivia Skelley, together with nine of her cousins, decided to commemorate their grandmother’s 90th birthday by donning various versions of her iconic looks throughout the years, each reflecting a different era and aspect of her character.
Speaking to “Good Morning America,” Skelley shared that the tribute not only elicited laughter but also underscored the profound influence Foppiano has had on their family. “We wanted to demonstrate to her the extent of her impact on us, and I thought it would be amusing to surprise her by dressing up as her,” Skelley elaborated. “Given the multitude of iconic looks she has sported over the years, with ten granddaughters, it seemed fitting that each of us embodied a distinct rendition of her.”
