she lived such a challenging life though....from her relationship with her family to her becoming princess of monaco...she went through a lot. but that's why i admire her because she's a strong woman. i found so many peculiar similarities between her and myself after reading a book about her.SiennaInLondon said:I love Grace Kelly but I dont understand it when people say that old movie stars are better than modern ones because they are more elegant. Elegance is a choice -it is a taste. Anyone can be elegant but people often choose different things -they choose experimentation or hipness or unconventionality or whatever. If Grace Kelly lived now, we would find her as boring as we find Gwyneth boring. She just happened to exist within the great studio system in Hollywood's golden age.
Does anyone have pictures of her sisters? They were incredible beauties too if I remember rightly.
 Although Grace was probably naturally and instinctively elegant (and of course so beautiful). I do love seeing old stars and history and their times, I think it's kind of rigid and limiting to be as elegant as them 
  Maybe I just can't see many people wanting to dress like that nowadays, with all the other fun things and experimentation. I 
 wild colours and wacky things, but sometimes I feel like going simple and elegant and she's one of my inspirations.
