V&A

OH the glee, the gayness, the splendour!

London's Victoria and Albert Museum are hosting an exhibition entitled Grace Kelly: Style Icon. From the 17 Apr- 26 Sep 2010, lucky visitors will get to gaze upon some of the loveliest haute couture fit for a WASP, who was to become a Princess.

Information from the V&A's website states:

This exhibition shows the spectacular wardrobe of Grace Kelly, one of the most popular actresses of the 1950s. Featuring dresses from her films including High Society and Rear Window, as well as the gown she wore to accept her Oscar in 1955, the display will examine Grace Kelly's glamorous Hollywood image and enduring appeal.


It will also explore the evolution of her style as Princess Grace of Monaco, from the outfit she wore to her first meeting with Prince Rainier in 1955 to her haute couture gowns of the 1960s and '70s by her favourite couturiers Dior, Balenciaga, Givenchy and Yves St Laurent.

Now this is something to pay attention to! The importance of this exhibition, proves the enduring role Kelly plays, both before and after her tragic death. She is truly a classic whose memory is kept alive by her class and stature.
