Jessica Mulroney is a Canadian fashion stylist.[1][2] In November 2015 Mulroney styled ensembles for Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau, the wife of the incoming Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau. Her efforts on Grégoire-Trudeau's behalf attracted particular attention because Mulroney is the daughter-in-law of former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, a bitter political rival to Grégoire-Trudeau's father-in-law, Pierre Trudeau.
Mulroney is a graduate of McGill University.[3] She is a descendant of the founders of Browns shoes and niece of well known Montreal personality Bill Brownstein, a writer for the Montreal Gazette.[4]
Mulroney and her sisters-in-law Caroline Mulroney Lapham, Katy Mulroney and Vanessa Mulroney co-founded a charity called The Shoebox Project.[5][6] The project's goal is to provide makeup to women living in shelters. Donors are asked to fill a shoebox with approximately $50 worth of cosmetics and toiletries.
Mulroney, formerly Jessica Brownstein, married Ben Mulroney on October 30, 2008.[7] Mulroney is the oldest son, and second oldest child, of Brian and Mila Mulroney. The couple has three children.[3]
Both Maclean's magazine, and Chatelaine magazine, have interviewed Mulroney about the Canadian marketing rights she and her sister Elizabeth Brownstein acquired for the high-end lingerie lines la Perla and Cosabella.[8][9]

As first revealed on CTV's etalk, Mrs. Grégoire-Trudeau was styled by none other than Jessica Mulroney, wife of etalk host (and yes, son of a former prime minister), Ben Mulroney. Jessica, who works with Hudson's Bay, dressed Sophie in a white baby alpaca coat from Sentaler and a black and navy dress from Quebecois designer, Erdem (a Kate Middleton-fave).

Before and after the ceremony, the bride, a 29-year-old fashion stylist and the niece of Gazette columnist Bill Brownstein, smiled and said little as she carefully moved to and from a nearby limousine. She wore a formal floor-length gown and a long veil.

With all of the rubbernecking she and Ben inspire, you’d think Jessica might be more guarded about her home life. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. From her gig as TV spokesperson for Pampers to her role in marketing for the new bridal boutique at Hudson’s Bay, she’s become a bit of a social media whiz. Jessica shares photos of downtime with her family as well as glamorous nights out with her husband on Instagram. Ben is on board too, tweeting the announcement of Isabel’s arrival an hour after her birth.

The former Jessica Brownstein, wife of TV personality Ben Mulroney and the daughter-in-law of former prime minister Brian Mulroney, has always been a player on the Canadian fashion scene, thanks to her natural beauty and unique style. But these days, working out of her house, her focus is on her new business, distributing high-end intimate apparel in Canada, while trying to spend as much time as possible with her twins.
