An exhibition celebrating the life of GRACE KELLY will open in New York City next month (Oct07), 25 years after the actress' death. The free event will be held at Sotheby's auction house from 15 to 26 October and will feature dresses worn by Kelly, as well as photographs, letters and home movies filmed in the 1940s. Two of her dresses will be auctioned off to raise money for the Princess Grace Foundation, which supports struggling artists. Kelly, who became Princess Grace Of Monaco, died at the age of 52 from injuries sustained in a car accident in Monaco in September 1982.

The Errant Aesthete joins the world in remembering America’s own princess — the achingly beautiful Grace Kelly, a Hollywood star who married royalty in a fairy tale wedding that captured the attention of the world and whose timeless classical beauty and style continues to influence women to this day. Friday marked the 25th anniversary of the death of Princess Grace of Monaco, who died in a car crash on a twisting road in the tiny European municipality where she lived with her husband Prince Rainier and three children. She was 52.
Young Americans might not relate to the pride the nation held for the fairy-tale princess from Philadelphia but they will recognize her fashion influence, with the so-called “Grace Kelly Look” emphasizing simple lines and soft, pastel colors.
French haute couture fashion house Hermes named a handbag in her honor — the “Kelly Bag” — after she was seen carrying the rectangular, crocodile bag which is still highly coveted despite its price tag that can reach $25,000.
“She took the typical college girl look and made it glamorous and it still works — nothing flashing or extreme and everything understated,” said H. Kristina Haugland, associate curator of costume at the Philadelphia Museum of Art who wrote a book called “Grace Kelly: Icon of Style to Royal Bride.”
Grace Kelly was born into a wealthy family in Philadelphia and decided to pursue a career in the theater which led her to Hollywood and roles in such movies as “Rear Window, “To Catch A Thief,” and “The Country Girl” for which she won an Oscar.
It was while she was heading a U.S. delegation at the Cannes Film Festival in 1955 that she met her husband-to-be, never returning to acting after their 1956 wedding.
To commemorate her death, a series of U.S. events are planned across the United States this fall including the first auction of two of her outfits, book and magazine tributes, and a new “Princess Grace Coral” lipstick.
In keeping with her status as a fashion icon, upscale store Saks will hold window displays on New York’s Fifth Avenue inspired by typical Kelly style — sleek hairstyles, full skirt dresses, khaki slacks, silk scarves, pearls, white gloves.
