She wore a rainbow colored bathing suit that she paired with dark sunglasses and her hair wet, as if she'd just enjoyed a dip in the water.

Another photo showed her alongside her adorable dog, a Dachshund named Eloise, who has her own Instagram. The pup is lying in her lap, as Alexandra types into her computer, likely getting some work done; Alexandra is a writer like her half-sister, Charlotte Casiraghi.
"This is a janet malcolm stan account," she captioned the post, sharing her love for the author she was reading.
Alexandra's 2026

Her most recent post was shared on her Substack earlier this month, with her sharing a case against the beach read. "My case against the beach read is the following: Whatever is typically marketed as a ‘summer book’ or a ‘beach read,’ I don’t actually take to be ideally read in the summer. I actually prefer to read these kinds of books in the dead of winter or on a rainy evening flight. This is because, to my core, I think I prefer reading in an opposite environment/ vibe/ setting/ season to the one I find myself in," she wrote.
Alexandra proposes reading classical books and big doorstoppers, the kind of reads you can luxuriate in while you have a couple of days. "I actually think it is myself favorite thing to do. Because it anchors my summer melancholy and aimlessness into a purpose, because a large book is always daunting, and takes a lot for someone to pick up when you’re actually busy during the year," she argued.
