Grace Kelly Style Icon

When looking for classic, timeless style inspiration, certain “Hollywood” names spring to mind instantly. Grace Kelly is undeniably one of them, her seemingly effortless style is still as fresh and as relevant today as it was in the 1950s.

Kelly was the ultimate Hollywood starlet, portraying  glamorous and fashion conscious women in her many movies, as well as popularising her own unique style in her private life. Hermès even famously re-named one of their bags after her!

One of the key things about Kelly’s style is that it was glamorous, yet understated. She wore what she was comfortable in and it shows. We all know that we feel so much more confident when we’re wearing something we feel great in, so above all bear that in mind when shopping for any event!



With the V&A Museum currently  showcasing  highlights from this style icon’s expansive wardrobe, we can’t help but suggest a spot of “Grace Kelly Style” for your own up-coming summer events! For more information about the Grace Kelly exhibition, please click here.
