My favourite photo of Grace Kelly

‘Grace Kelly Style’ by Kristina Haugland has just been released and it is quite divine.

It takes you through the styles she wore during the different stages of her life – actress, bride and finally, Princess.

However – as Grace knew what style worked for her, not much changes over the years, which is a blessing for the reader, as you get to see page after page of elegant dressing.

Her clothing was always right for the occasion. Simple, uncluttered and unpretentious – and always worn with dignity and confidence.

I have loved looking at all of these photos – Grace makes looking elegant look so effortless and is a reminder that good grooming never goes out of style.

An exhibition of Grace Kelly’s dresses opened yesterday at the V&A, to coincide with the launch of this book. I would love to see it – the V&A do stage the most exquisite exhibitions and I believe that this would be breathtaking.

I had much fun trying to work out which pictures to include – in fact I could have been here all day, but I decided to stop at these.
