As an exhibition showcasing the wardrobe of film star Grace Kelly - latterly Princess Grace of Monaco - opens at London's V&A Museum, curator Jenny Lister explains how you can achieve her distinctive, understated elegance.
The lines between Kelly's personal style were heavily blurred with the on-screen characters portrayed by the young actress.
In Rear Window, for example, her mint-green suit is an exaggerated version of the formal daywear the actress favoured at the height of her cinematic popularity in the mid-Fifties. From the casually chic capri pants, headscarf and sunglasses she wore alongside the debonair Cary Grant in the 1955 release To Catch A Thief to the ice-blue satin dress she chose to wear to the Academy Awards in 1955, it would be easy to adapt these looks for 2010.
