Grace Kelly

Pomp & Polish
One icon begets another: Kelly’s frequent use of Hermès’s haut à courroies bag—most notably to shield her first pregnancy from the paparazzi—led the leather purse to be dubbed the “Kelly” bag, a tag that remains today. And her sunglasses are still en vogue; in the summertime, downtown Manhattan is brimming with those frames.

The Fad Hatter
It’s hard now to appreciate the importance of millinery in Kelly’s age—as an expression of fashion and taste, regardless of utilitarian function. Some Monegasque elite whispered that Kelly’s hats were too flamboyant for the palace.

Presidential Company
What a meeting of style and substance! The Prince and Princess took a little lunch at the White House in 1961, the same year Kelly was inducted into the International Best-Dressed Hall of Fame and Jacqueline Kennedy debuted on the annual list.

Fit to be Tied
Hubert de Givenchy reigned supreme at the time, dressing women such as Kelly, Jacqueline Kennedy, and Audrey Hepburn in his couture. This, well, Kelly-green wool shift was appropriate for a stately daytime affair with the president and First Lady.

Earth Angel
The cover of “Grace Kelly Style” features Kelly in an Oleg Cassini dress that she wore at a shoot for Cosmopolitan. Before she met Prince Rainier, Kelly was briefly engaged to Cassini, who helped develop the flattering cuts and styles that would come to be known as her style.
