Grace Kelly


She represented class and style from the moment she was seen on screen in Mogambo in 1953 and at the age of only 26 she married her Prince and started a family living in Monaco bearing three beautiful children. So what was is about this figure that has spawned a life time of fascination when her screen time was few and far between? Take a trip to the Victoria and Albert Museum in South Kensington to see around 50 of her outfits, costumes from her films, jewellery, hats, the famous Hermes Kelly bag and posters, photographs and even her Oscar statuette - Dior, Balenciaga, Yves St Laurent and Givenchy to name but a few.
