Grace Kelly

[baglover529]

i think the closest to Grace Kelly would be Rosamund Pike in terms of classy, elegant blond looks. She's very graceful and delicate too and has a nice speaking voice. She just hasn't reached that same acting prowess quite yet though.

Definitely not Keira - not graceful at all and not the same type of beauty (her looks are not asymmetrically perfect like Grace's or Rosamund's) and TBH, for me she really isn't particularly beautiful (sorry Keira fans! ). She does have a different kind of appeal though.

Gwyneth used to be compared to her a lot but Gwyneth seems too "cold" or has that ice-queen vibe about her. She carries clothes with flair but isn't as polished as Grace. I love Gwyn a lot but we can't compare her to Grace anymore.

Rosamund is a good comparison, good call

^^ Yes, very good call! I remember first seeing her (in Goldeneye, was it?) and she really stood out for me...And a young actress standing out with the amazing beauties in the Bond movies, is really saying a lot!! Think I'll see about a Rosamund thread here...

 

[Boomer]

Wow, are you ever right!! How Grace Kelly is she!!?? (Getty)

Generally I hate comparisons like this, but she is does have a Grace-ish vibe about her and I loved her in Pride and Prejudice

 

[baglover529]

Thanks I actually am a fan of Rosamund's as well...and I think it's because she reminds me of Grace.

Here are 2 pics I found in Rosamund's thread that perfectly illustrates the similarities they have:

I usually don't care for these comparisons either, but there are only 11 Grace Kelly movies and I miss the class - you can only watch Green Fire so many times, after all... Kind of like who is the new Cary Grant (No one really....)

 

[kochie332]

^the woman is one of a kind so it is hard to make a comparison, but its nice that there are still actresses out there (such as Rosamund) that are talented, poised, and classically beautiful

With her beauty and iconic style, it’s no surprise that Sotheby’s has an entire collection on display from October 15-26 for the 25th Anniversary Princess Awards Gala, commemorating the anniversary of Grace Kelly’s passing. Some of her personal belongings such as accessories, letters, and film clips will be on display, while two outfits will be available for purchase at the live auction: her Givenchy green gown worn in 1961 on a visit to the White House, and her Helen Rose ball gown worn in 1956 classic High Society. After purchasing these, you can crank up your Mika album and really be like Ms. Kelly!

It's one thing to call film's leading ladies your style icons, but it's another thing entirely to call one of their outfits your own. If you're the bidding type, you could soon do just that. This month Sotheby's auctions off two outfits belonging to Grace Kelly—arguably film's leading style icon—in honor of the 25th anniversary of her death. One, a green Givenchy sheath, is what she wore on a visit to another style great, Jackie Kennedy. If shouting over the gavel isn't your style, a collection of Kelly's covetable clothes and personal effects will be on view prior to auction night. Either way, you're bound to be sold (we couldn't resist) on Kelly's fashion legacy. Grace, Princess of Monaco: A Tribute to the Life and Legacy of Grace Kelly is open to the public from October 15 to October 26.
