Grace Kelly
Grace Kelly was born in the same year as Audrey Hepburn. Hepburn is the eternal princess on screen, while Grace Kelly put on her wedding dress, put on a crown, and stepped from Hollywood into the real royal palace.
In the eyes of many people, grace Kelly's life is a beautiful fairy tale. Her name grace means elegant in English. She is an Oscar-winning actress and a hot star in Hollywood; she is the Princess of Monaco, the elegant and beautiful role model of European royal families. This noble and beautiful princess seems to have been doubly favored by God, and has a lifelong beauty, honor, wealth and love.
Grace Kelly was born into a family in Philadelphia, USA, where her father won an Olympic rowing gold medal and her mother was a sports coach at the University of Pennsylvania. Grace's mother loved her very much, and when her daughter, who graduated from high school, offered her support to become an entertainer, feeling that it would soothe her sentimental temperament. In 1951, Grace came to Hollywood to pursue her dreams.
Grace can be described as a star, in just 6 years after entering Hollywood, she took over many films, she became the royal heroine of the great director Hitchcock, and in the spring of 1956, she won the Oscar crown.
Grace Kelly's dress at the 1955 Academy Awards is still touted by the fashion industry. Designer Edith Hyde's dress for her was said to have cost four thousand dollars in lining alone, and because this rare color is dyed by hand, the finished fabric is sent to Paris to be sewn by hand, and Grace's handbag is decorated with pearls selected from more than 40,000 pearls on the coast of Kenya.
Grace was holding her bun, but when she walked up to the podium, a lock of hair fell from the bun, and Edith Hyde, who was the costume supervisor for the Oscars, quickly took a rose from her head and pinned it to her. This dress and rose headdress later became popular in the fashion world.
Her elegance and charm have fascinated many male stars who cooperate with her, and almost all the popular male stars in Hollywood at that time have been the protagonists of her scandals, but they are not Grace's final destination.
In 1955, Grace met the King of Monaco at the Cannes Film Festival, so the Hollywood actress was invited to visit the Monaco Palace, and a stylish prince thoughtfully toured her - Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier III of Monaco "fairytale love" also began romantically.
In 1956, the two entered the wedding hall. Grace's wedding dress is certainly the best in the world.
At that time, wearing a long dress made of 98 yards of tulle, 25 sizes of silk, and 300 yards of lace, draped in a veil of countless fish-egg pearls, she walked towards Prince Rainier III of Monaco, so beautiful that people held their breath and became the most beautiful bride under the gaze of the whole world.
The crown on her head is even more jealous. Set in platinum, small rubies and three large diamonds, the crown was made of Cartier jewelry and was a wedding gift from the prince.
The wedding of the century caused a sensation around the world, and some people said that there were more media than guests participating in the wedding at that time. MGM Pictures even took pictures of the whole process and reported it live to millions of viewers around the world.
In 1957, Grace, who was pregnant with Liujia, in order to escape the media shot, used her own Hermès handbag to decorate her slightly convex abdomen, which was photographed by the paparazzi with sharp eyes, and immediately Hermès was engulfed by the order to make Kelly bags, and Hermès was officially renamed the handbag "Kelly Bag" by the Monegasque royal family, and this bag also became Hermes's highest-grossing commodity.
So far, Kelly bags are the favorite handbags of celebrities, of course, ordinary people can not afford to buy, "Kelly bags" offer is very expensive, even a second-hand one also has to be at the mercy of $3,000. It is worth mentioning that Hermès handbag manufacturing is sewn by one person from beginning to end and numbered. Now, if you want to own a Kelly bag, you must order it in advance, and the waiting time is at least half a year.
Her symbol also includes white silk gloves that almost never leave her hand, in 1961, she wore a white hat and gloves, wearing a green Givenchy skirt to return to the United States, her elegant and charming demeanor made Kennedy who read all the beauty also secretly exclaimed, and his dialogue with the princess around him attracted another round of "Grace fashion" in the fashion industry.
Grace also has a fondness for Chinese clothing very early on, repeatedly wearing cheongsam style clothing to serious occasions, coiled buckles and Chinese silk clothes on her body a little bit without a sense of square chisel, few Westerners can interpret traditional Chinese costumes so elegant and attractive.
But I heard that Grace is afraid of getting old, and she said that women can hardly live after the age of 40.
On September 13, 1982, Grace and her second daughter drove through a U-shaped sharp turn and tumbled into a deep ditch next to the road. The second daughter was safe and sound, but the princess left the world forever with unparalleled elegance and beauty.
Her old partner, James Stewart, once said, "You know how much I love Grace!" Not because she was a princess, not because she was an entertainer, not because she was my brother, not because she was the most beautiful lady I had ever met. Every time she saw Grace, she brought a soft and warm ray of sunshine to my life, just as she brought a soft and warm sunshine to your day; every time she saw her was a short vacation. No doubt I will miss her, and we will all miss her, Princess Grace! ”
