From Hollywood to Monaco

She was a movie star, she was a princess, a mother, an inspiration for many designers, an icon. We can she say that she’s had everything done everything, for now I expect you to know who am I talking about, is off course the one and only Grace Kelly






Grace Patricia Kelly was born in 1929 in Philadelphia, and dead in a terrible car accident in Monaco, 1982.


She first started has a model but soon become an actress, participated in more than 40 episodes in TV series and in ten movies, winning a golden globe by her performance in the movie “Mogambo” and an Oscar of best actress by her role in “The Country Girl”. But all changed when she was invited to attend in the Cannes film festival (1955), where she was supposed to participate in a session with prince Rainier III of Monaco, but that didn’t worked at supposed and Grace only met with the prince in Monaco. In a visit to U.S.A the prince once again met with Grace Kelly and after three days he proposed, and off course she said “Yes”. They married in April 18, 1956, the ceremony was broadcasted in Europe and was watched by 30 million people.





She had three children, Caroline, Albert and Stefanie


On September  13, 1982 while driving with her daughter Stefanie (seventeen at the time), Grace had a car accident caused by after stroke who made them crash. She was still found alive, but died I the next day in the hospital.

Grace Kelly style was always sophisticated, exquisit but at the same time very simple and clean. She was never too posh, always elegant. So you can say that most women of her time were like that, I disagree Grace Kelly was different of the others, she and Audrey Hepburn transformed style and beauty. The standards of beauty before, were that women should look like a pin up (Marilyn Monroe is a great example of that standard of beauty back them), but they weren’t like that, they were tall, skinny the oposite of pin up's and that made their style different too. But it's not just becouse of that, it's something more she had an aura, a glow, no wonder prince Rainier wanted her as a princess becouse she already was it.
Grace Kelly should be an examples for all women, she's an example that more is less.
