Hitchcock’s style icon, princess and muse: 20 legendary images of Grace Kelly in film and in life

Hollywood diva, Hitchcock’s muse and real princess. There is only one person who fits this description – her name is Grace Kelly. Although his film career ended when the actor was only 26 years old, he is rightfully called one of the legends of cinema. Within four years, she starred in three of Alfred Hitchcock’s films, won an Oscar, and became a favorite of the American public.

Grace Kelly is considered the epitome of grace and femininity in world cinema, and her style has influenced an entire generation of young girls. Double-breasted blazers, classic trench coats, trouser suits – Grace Kelly deftly diluted her basic wardrobe with accessories and accent details.

Kelly owes this image to Alfred Hitchcock in many ways. The actor adapted the style of his characters from his movies and created his own movie. Its simplicity and openness in clothes attracted the attention of both ordinary people and legendary designers. The iconic Hermès Kelly bag, for example, was named after him. They say that the actress liked the bag so much that she went with it everywhere. And after the photos appeared in the press, all fashionistas began to buy an accessory she.

And in 1966, Grace ordered a floral print scarf from Rodolfo Gucci, and the designer later named it after him. The creation of the silk accessory was carried out by the artist Vittorio Accornero. This is how the Flora edition was born, recreated in new pastel colors for the Pre-Fall 2019 collection.

Today, November 12, on the occasion of the 93rd anniversary of the birth of the ’50s style icon, we recall 20 legendary looks of Grace Kelly in cinema and life.
