 Grace Kelly Style

Grace with Marlon Brando, looking glamorous at the Oscars.Grace Kelly Style and Fashion Facts

Favoured Colours - Soft Pastels or rich shades like navy if she wanted something darker

Favourite Designers - Edith Head and Helen Rose.  Both were studio designers who created some of Grace's most famous looks. Head created Grace's pale satin Oscars dress (left) and Rose designed Grace's wedding dress, as well as many other outfits each

 

 

 

Key Item - A pair of white gloves or a silk scarf for tying around your neck or hairdo

Off-Duty Style - Grace was barely ever caught looking less than elegant, she usually wore a blouse teamed with tailored and high-waist pants, jeans or pencil skirt and even then always accessorised perfectly.

 

 

 

 

 

Grace had slender arms and fine shoulders, she made the most of these features picking off the shoulder or thin strapped dresses.

Grace is one of the only old stars who was barely ever seen with a fur stole. Grace instead chose sheer wraps or scarves if she needed a little coverage.

 

 

Back in the 1950s Grace was spotted toting around a large bag by French designer Hermes Birkin. The bag became a must-have item after she was seen with it and ever since it has been nicknames The Kelly Bag. Even today numerous celebrities still carry around the design and the bag commands a high price and waiting list.

In Rear Window, Grace plays a model who says she never wears the same dress twice (well, she must have had one big wardrobe). That, however, isn't a rule Grace followed.  Of course, an Oscars dress wouldn't be worn again but Grace was loyal to the clothes she bought - there was no throw-away fashion for her.  She bought good, expensive pieces that suited her and that she could wear and wear again.

Grace's Fashion Must-Haves

Slim Woolen Skirts

A camel coat

White Gloves - Always elegant - even years before becoming a Princess - Grace would wear short gloves in the day and often long ones in the evening.

 

The essential, iconic Grace item though is the Kelly bag.  From the affordable to the ridiculously expensive her are a variety of Kelly-like styles for the the definitive Grace Kelly style piece -
