Lee Radziwill

The younger sister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and former princess died at her home in New York City on Feb. 15, according to the New York Times and WWD. She was 85.

Radziwill's daughter, Anna Christina Radziwill, told the Times that her mother died of natural causes. The style icon was also mother-in-law to Real Housewives of New York alum Carole Radziwill.

Lee lived a storied life, befriending some of the greatest and most stylish artists of her time, including ballet star Rudolf Nureyev, author Truman Capote and Andy Warhol. After news of her death became public, many members of the fashion industry paid tribute to her.

In her later years, Lee gave a few interviews about her legendary life. In 2013, she told the New York Times: "Regrets? I think everyone has regrets, and people who say they haven't are either liars... or narcissists."

"There have been many things in my life to have regrets about, in the sense I wish I could have changed them, or somehow made them not happen. What I don't have is envy. I'm perfectly content at this time of my life. I've done so many fascinating things and the greatest joy is that I continue to do interesting things and meet fascinating people."
