Grace Kelly, was and still is a true fashion icon. She captivated moviegoers with her beauty.
The word ‘style icon’ is used so loosely these days that it carries no weight to make an impact.
But one of the few people that deserve such accolade of being a fashion icon is Grace Kelly.
Kate Middleton’s bridal gown looks similar to Grace Kelly’s wedding dress she wore roughly 55 years ago.
The importance of having style and making it your own is a true quality of a fashion tastemaker.
She knew the style habits that worked for her body and she stuck to it.

Only Red Lipstick Will Do
At the time when she was to marry Prince Rainer, some people felt that the marriage would mean the end of Grace’s career.
As was the case, her career did come to an end, but it did nothing to harm her popularity as a fashionable princess.
In today’s beauty world, we are told to have many lip colours as part of updating our look.
For Grace Kelly, with a mind of her own, she stuck to using red lipstick regardless of what she wore.
