Sean Connery’s socialite granddaughters Samara and Natasha at charity fashion show in New York 

Sir Sean Connery‘s granddaughters Samara and Natasha have unveiled a new tartan in tribute to the late James Bond actor at the Dressed to Kilt fashion show in New York.

The popular event, which was originally co-founded by Connery, the original James Bond, returned after a coronavirus-related hiatus last year and was held at Long Island’s Mill Neck Manor last night. 

During the show, Connery was honoured with a new tartan specially designed for the actor with input from his family, which Samara and Natasha, 26, could be seen modelling.

His fellow Dressed to Kilt co-founder Dr Geoffrey Scott Carroll arranged the plan for the kilt which is produced by Glenisla Kilts with a bespoke coat and dress designed by Totty Rocks of Edinburgh.

Dr Carroll said: ‘The creation of the new Sean Connery tartan was an entirely Scottish collaborative effort.

‘Mark Gibson, well known tartan designer, worked together with Lady Connery, Stephane his son, and his granddaughters to create the tartan.

‘Lochcarron of Scotland then wove the new tartan in their mills, and the final kilt was made by John Culbert of Glenisla Kilts.

‘Sir Sean was one of the co-founders of the Dressed to Kilt (DTK) show in 2003 and without his personal support and involvement throughout the years, the show would not have achieved the enormous success that it has.

According to LinkedIn, Samara is currently a student at New York University studying art history.

Earlier this year, Samara and Natasha’s cousin Saskia gave her family cause to celebrate.

The 25-year-old fashion designer — whose father is Sean’s stepson, Stephane — has got engaged to Austrian banking heir Phillip Thomas Muhr, 31.

‘We are so happy to have found each other and can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together,’ Saskia says after accepting Phillip’s proposal with a diamond ring at the Lyford Cay enclave in the Bahamas, which is where Sir Sean died aged 90.

‘The exact spot where we first lay eyes on each other,’ she adds, describing Phillip as ‘the love of my life, man of my dreams and best friend.’
