The university NYU counts many celebrities from years gone by, including Stefani Germonatta (Lady Gaga), Anne Hathaway, Alec Baldwin, Martin Scorsese, Billy Crystal, Tom Ford, and Angelina Jolie. The university's Gallatin School allows students to craft their own majors. Although it is unknown exactly what type of degree Olympia majored in, she had once revealed some years ago she wanted to focus on subjects that would help her pursue a career in fashion and photography.
Princess Olympia of Greece in 2018 was signed to talent agency United Entertainment and as recent as March of this year she starred in the Summer 2019 campaign modelling shoes for Pretty Ballerinas in New York City. The glamorous photos show Olympia posing in a series of the brand's flats, sneakers, and sandals. She has also featured in a Dolce Gabbana campaign, walked the runway for their 2018 show and modelled in a photo shoot in NYC Times Square along with her famous friend, daughter of Sylvester Stallone, Sistine Stallone for Vogue Brazil. The two famous daughters had previously worked together in 2016 when they graced the cover of Town & Country's magazine for their annual "Modern Swans" list, both beauties being dubbed "it girls". They shared that title with others in that top 50 list like renowned Greek-American Ariana Huffington's daughter Isabella.
Olympia and her brothers share many famous friends which also include Australia's Elle MacPherson's two sons Cy and Flynn Busson.
The royal siblings have been known to frequent Greece during the Summer and take to their Instagram accounts to share with their followers. And now that Princess Olympia has graduated university, chances are she will be heading for a Mediterranean escape under the Greek sun.
