In her third and final collaboration with Hitchcock, Grace Kelly provided us with a treasure trove of fashion inspiration in To Catch a Thief.
The film's fashion designer was Edith Hyde, one of the most famous fashion designers of Hollywood's Golden Age, working with Grace Kelly on several occasions.
Grace Kelly and Edith Hyde
Grace Kelly and Edith Hyde are close friends, and Edith Hyde has publicly declared Grace Kelly to be her favorite actress.
Next, take a look at Grace Kelly's 8 outfits in To Catch a Thief, each of which is an elegant example of 1950s fashion that you'll love.
The first set: yellow backless one-piece swimsuit + cat's eye sunglasses
This outfit is Grace Kelly's first appearance in the film. Grace in a swimsuit is applying sunscreen. The 1950s-style swim cap obscured one of her blond hair, and the sunglasses blocked her eyes, making the whole person particularly mysterious.
The cat-eye sunglasses she wore were very popular in the 50s. Like a cat's eye frame, the upward upturned design is sexy and seductive, what girl can refuse?
Second set: pure snow woven dress + diamond necklace and earrings
Grace Kelly on screen and in life has a restrained elegance, ladylike demeanor, and looks polite.
In my mind, she is the best-looking female star in dresses in the golden age of Hollywood, her skeleton is moderate, her posture is very good, and she is particularly elegant when wearing dresses.
This white bandeau chiffon dress is not decorated with beaded sequins or embroidery, cross-pleated at the chest and a flowing skirt. The lines are simple and the silhouette is elegant.
If you pay attention to the couture runways in recent years, you will find that many designer brands such as Elie Saab, Zuhair Murad, etc. will design similar styles.
This dress is an early "fairy dress", Grace Kelly matched the skirt with a striking diamond necklace, and the gorgeous and sparkling diamond necklace injected a luxurious atmosphere into the plain skirt.
This outfit is not obsolete at all today, 66 years later, and if you walk the red carpet, it will still obliterate countless film.
Kelly's pearl white chiffon dress is my favorite evening dress of the whole movie. It is so beautiful, simple and elegant.
The third set: blue Greek style dress + blue dinner bag
Grace Kelly plays Francis in a flowing Greek-style powder-blue chiffon robe without jewelry.
Director Hitchcock wanted designer Edith Hyde to use cool tones to render the image of Grace Kelly's "Ice Beauty."
Hitchcock photographed Grace Kelly's coolness, which looked classical, beautiful, and far away.
The shawl is beautifully designed to be fastened to the shoulder straps, can be wrapped around the arm, and can also be spread out on the shoulders to create a vague hazy feeling.
One of my favorite things about this dress is that the designers have woven different shades of blue chiffon into a variety of twists.
Fourth set: black swimsuit set + white skirt with a belt edge + wide-brimmed hat + black turban
I was most impressed by the black swimsuit suit, the white skirt, the combination of black and white is simple and advanced, at first I didn't know that Grace Kelly was wearing a swimsuit.
The elegant and charming Grace Kelly stunned that the hotel lobby was turned into a catwalk, and Grace Kelly stood in the lobby like a supermodel, making people unable to take their eyes off.
Fifth set: Sleeveless coral pink dress
Grace paired this pleated dress with a pink scarf and white wrist-length gloves, which was quite ladylike.
What impressed me most about this look was Grace Kelly's wind-swaying scarf and blonde hair around her neck.
Sixth set: Yellow floral dress
This dress is a very typical 50s style, the skirt is matched with a white belt at the waist, and the skirt is A-shaped, which is particularly flattering.
From the current point of view, this dress is also perfect.
Seventh set: yellow piping off-white dress + white and yellow handbag
Just looking at the upper part of this skirt I will think of the qipao, I think the designer should refer to the qipao when designing the skirt.
I love Grace Kelly's handbag, which is white on the outside and yellow on the inside, echoing the color of the dress.
Eighth set: golden puffy skirt + golden wig
Towards the end of the film, a magnificent masquerade is held in a mansion on the Côte d'Azur, with all the actors dressed in the court-style costumes of the Marie Antoinette era.
Grace Kelly's puffy skirt was the most expensive costume designer Edith Hyde had ever made.
The elbow-length golden gloves, three-dimensional bird decorations, and sculptural blond wigs are full of drama, and this exaggerated style of clothing is difficult to control, but Grace Kelly managed to control it.
