by Danielle Combs
"Elegance is not standing out but being remembered."

The annual Cannes Film Festival is set to take place this Wednesday and is easily one of the most notable fetes for breathtaking, distinguishable fashion that defies industry standards. In celebration of the French film festival, we pay tribute to the woman who became known for her classic beauty and regal style, Grace Kelly. For years, The Princess of Monaco graced the red-carpet with her ultra-glamorous style and swiftly became America’s sweetheart and Hollywood’s leading lady. 

Her beauty, charisma and talent lit up the silver-screen as she appeared in iconic films such as High Noon, Dial M for Murder, Rear Window and To Catch A Thief. Despite retiring from the film industry at age 26, Grace continued to pursue her passion and duties as Princess of Monaco. Here we remember the ultimate style icon and her most timeless looks.
