One of the most admired women in the world, Grace Kelly (1929-1982) is
remembered for her beauty, poise, and style. Her "fairy-tale" wedding to Prince
Rainier of Monaco in 1956 was one of the most celebrated of the century. To
commemorate its 50th anniversary, this lovely book tells the story behind her
wedding gown, cap, veil, shoes, and prayer book--all given by the new princess
to the Philadelphia Museum of Art shortly after the ceremony.
Philadelphia-born Grace Kelly rocketed to Hollywood stardom, becoming a major
box-office draw and winning an Academy Award. She also was an icon of classic
American style, which became known as the "Grace Kelly Look." After examining
the development of the star's on- and off-screen style, the book focuses on her
magnificent wedding dress, designed by Helen Rose and made by MGM Studios under
top secret security. Public interest in the star's wedding dress was intense,
and it remains one of the most popular objects in the Museum's collection.
Stunning color images detail the wedding dress, accessories, and attendants'
dresses, which are also owned by the Museum. Numerous historical photographs
illustrate the actress's career, style, and famous wedding in Monaco.
