Some of the most famous outfits worn by Grace Kelly, the most elegant leading lady of her era, are to go on display in a new exhibition at the V&A museum in London.  Grace Kelly was the ultimate style icon and this exhibition will showcase her glamour and style as she lived her life, as one of Hollywood’s most popular actress, and moving on to become Princess Grace of Monaco.

The exhibition will be split into three sections; ‘The Actress,’ ‘The Bride’ and ‘The Princess,’ and spans fashion across four decades. The ‘Bride section’ will focus on the dress Grace Kelly wore for the announcement of her engagement to Prince Rainier and the clothes designed for her trousseau and dazzling wedding, in 1956.

Also featured are over 50 of Grace Kelly’s outfits, including some of the most beautiful dresses and outfits worn by the leading lady. Eight dresses by Christian Dior, an extravagant, beaded Balenciaga jacket, Yves Saint Laurent’s ‘Mondrian’ dress of 1965, Coco Chanel suits jewellery by Van Cleef & Arpels, and, of course, the famous, original Hermès ‘Kelly’ bag are all to be displayed.

The exhibition opens in London on the 17th April.
