Style Icon: Grace Kelly



Grace Kelly is the ultimate style icon. She is known for her extraordinary poise and natural elegance in all stages of her life, from an actress, to a bride who became a princess, to an enduring example of beauty. Throughout her lifetime, Grace knew just how to look, act, and dress with style.

Growing up in Philadelphia, manners were important for Grace. And although Grace was not an upper class woman at the start of her career, she often portrayed this type of woman in films. As a bride to be, Grace carefully chose her trousseau. Later, Grace perfectly adapted to life in the palace and dressed accordingly.





No matter what the occasion, Grace always was a portrait of beauty. Women emulate her today and men love her.

According to one male friend, “Grace Kelly made men feel glad to be a man. She smoldered like a campfire in the woods reminding men that there is more than a fire to keep you warm.”

Here is Grace Kelly in some of her most beautiful moments…

Your friend's comment re Grace smoldering is spot on. Nice to hear a man's perspective on a woman's beauty.

She really was just perfection wasnt she. Audrey is nice, Jackie is too...but ever since I was a little girl I wanted to be a Grace.
