Grace Kelly: Style Icon

United Kingdom - what's on

Text size

London | 21/04/2010 - 26/09/2010 Grace Kelly: Style Icon

Exhibition presenting the wardrobe of the American actress Grace Kelly, Princess Grace of Monaco (1929-1982), featuring dresses from many of her films as well as the gown she wore to accept her Oscar in 1955. The show examines Kelly's glamorous Hollywood image, the evolution of her style as Princess Grace of Monaco, and her enduring appeal as a fashion icon. She rose to fame as an actress in the 1950s, starring in films by Hitchcock and others. Her image was cultivated by the movie industry, which fed cinema-goers' growing appetite for pictures of glamorous stars through magazines and newspapers. The exhibition explores, through her surviving clothes, the story of her transformation from Hollywood actress to a princess of one of Europe's oldest royal families.
