How to Dress Like a Modern Grace Kelly

Grace Kelly has been on my mind lately because I am currently reading a lovely novel based on her life called, The Girl in White Gloves by Kerri Maher. Grace Kelly was known as a “Hitchcock Blonde”, she embodied classic elegance of Hollywood’s golden age, and she was even the Princess of Monaco.

When I look at photos over her life, I see a few clear trends emerge in her outfits:

  • High quality, tailored blouses
  • Feminine, glamorous neckline shapes ( but never cleavage low cut)
  • She often wore black, white, or light blues
  • Her clothing was often worn to create an hourglass silhouette, with a waistline emphasis
  • Her jewelry was often modest and classic such as pearls
  • She often wore an “ingenue” make-up look with peachy-pink lipstick
  • Classic, solid colored footwear suited her such as heels, ballet flats, and espadrille sandals
  • Her skirts were never too short, and her pants were often high waisted

Below I have gathered 21 items from online shops, to create a modern Grace Kelly inspired wardrobe. Her look is timeless, modest, and feminine. I hope this will inspire you.
