She was described as \"beautiful, brilliant, and captivating\" by her male contemporaries, and this perception of her helped shape the stereotype of the \"Southern belle\".She was born to Beverly LaFayette Holcombe and Eugenia Dorothea (Hunt) Holcombe at the familyplantationnearLa Grange, Tennessee. She attended La Grange Female Academy before switching to a finishing school inBethlehem, Pennsylvania, with older sister Anna Eliza, from 1846–1848. In 1848, the Holcombes moved toMarshall, Texas.

In the summer of 1857, Lucy met ColonelFrancis Wilkinson Pickensof South Carolina, who proceeded to court her with little success. In January 1858, after his defeat for a Senate seat, he accepted an appointment as the US Ambassador toRussia.

She and her husband were befriended by Alexander and his wifeMaria Alexandrovna.

The tsar and tsaritsa becameGodparentsof the Pickens\' daughter and the tsar gave her the nickname ofDouschka, meaningDarlinginRussian. A longing for South Carolina and worries about its leaning towardsecessioncaused the Pickens family to return home in August 1860. Francis W. Pickens was elected governor by the General Assembly of South Carolina on December 17, three days before the State seceded from the Union. An advocate of the secession of theU.S. Southern states, Lucy Holcombe Pickens was the only woman to be depicted on thecurrencyof theConfederate States of America(three issues of the $100 CSA bill and one issue of the $1 CSA bill, which were printed inColumbia, South Carolina). She was also featured on one issue of $1,000 CSA loan certificates. In April 1861, Lucy and friends witnessed the shelling ofFort Sumterfrom a rooftop inCharleston, South Carolina. In November 1861, a unit of theConfederate Armywas formed; it was called the Holcombe Legion in her honor. She designed and sewed its Flag.
