Δείτε αυτές τις φωτογραφίες που δημοσίευσε η γαλλική Vogue γιατί πραγματικά δεν μπορώ να δω σε καμμία απο αυτές ενα στυλιστικό λάθος είτε είναι ντυμένη νύφη είτε φοράει μαγιό είτε ενα απλό φόρεμα για μια απογευματινή βόλτα.
Είμαι σίγουρη οτι κάθε γυναίκα κρύβει μια Grace μέσα της, αρκεί να σκεφτεί οτι μόδα είναι αυτό που κάνει τον άλλο να μας κοιτάζει για ώρα χωρίς να τον κουράζουμε............
Grace de Monaco, "la glace et le feu" by Elizabeth Gouslan, edited by Grasset, to be released on November 6 2013

Diamonds and pearls On May 6 1955, Grace Kelly travelled to the film festival at Cannes for the release of the film Dial M for Murder, where she met Prince Rainier of Monaco with the help of Pierre Galante, a Paris Match journalist. Legend has it that Grace Kelly whispered to a friend, "He’s charming. So charming." On January 6 1956, the couple announced their engagement at a charity ball at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel. For the occasion, the future princess wore a polka-dot dress from the New York brand Branell, and, of course, the platinum and diamond engagement ring that Prince Rainier III had ordered from Cartier. The Prince gave her many pieces of jewelry over the years, including a pearl and diamond set that became one of her favorites. |

Fashion and Film Hitchcock was fascinated by the contrast between cold charm and intense sensuality that Grace Kelly radiated, which was characterized by screen costumes that seemed modest at first glance but later revealed glimpses of her feminine figure. Her favorite costume designers included Oleg Cassini who also dressed Jackie Kennedy and spent a while as Kelly's lover, American Edith Head who was awarded eight Oscars for best costume designer, Helen Rose who created Kelly's wedding dress, and Moss Malbry who dressed her in her earliest films, including Alfred Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder.

A Favorite Color Symbolizing hope, luck and youth, green was Grace Kelly's favorite color. From the 1955 Oscar ceremony to many Saint Patrick's day parties, the Princess never missed an opportunity to dress in emerald, lime or jade. Following a tradition from her parents' native Ireland, to bring good luck and happiness on the birth of a baby, Grace Kelly had the walls of the palace library - set to be the birthplace of her daughter, Caroline of Monaco - painted green.

A royal wedding On April 19 1956 the "Wedding of the Century" as journalists at the time named it, took place at the Cathedral in Monaco, where Grace Kelly received four titles as duchess and marquise, seven titles as a countess and nine as a baroness. Following tradition of the time, Kelly's studio, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, provided the dress, which was designed by the actress' favorite costume designer Helen Rose and had an ivory silk skirt supported by three petticoats, and a corset with a high, round neckline in Brussels rose lace embroidered with cultured pearls. The dress has inspired many royal wedding outfits since, including Kate Middleton's. Left and right: the royal wedding, Hulton Royals Collection, Rex Features |

Sun appeal Appearing at the Cannes Film Festival, taking a break in the Hamptons or on-set shooting High Society, Grace Kelly's classic, low-key look was worlds apart from Monaco royal protocol. In white swimsuits, cat-eye sunglasses, turbans and Capri pants, the impeccably coiffed starlet played the Hollywood star on vacation par excellence.

A Luxury Look Away from the cameras, Grace Kelly opted for a minimal bourgeois style in cashmere Pringle of Scotland twinsets accessorized with strings of pearls, Hèrmes' silk scarves, round framed sunglasses, flat Gucci moccasins and sleek up-dos. In March 2013, Pringle of Scotland invited five students from the prestigious Central Saint Martin's School of Design, London to design a collection for the historic Scottish brand who have been cashmere specialists for over two centuries, inspired by shots of Princess Grace from the Principality of Monaco's archives which show her characteristic blend of classic chic and fresh charm.

Grace Kelly's Style Earning her degree from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York at the age of 19, Grace Kelly was the embodiment of the Hollywood dream. She was discovered by Gary Cooper in 1951, who had her star opposite him in the musical High Noon, throwing her into the limelight from her first on-screen appearance. After this debut, she appeared alongside Clark Gable and Ava Gardner in Mogambo in 1953, captivated Alfred Hitchcock in Dial M for Murder, Rear Window and To Catch a Thief, and was awarded an Oscar for Best Actress in 1955. These early films revealed the fire and ice charm that captured the hearts of both lovers and fans, from the actor Bill Crosby to Oleg Cassini, a prominent costume designer of the era.
