4. The white nightgown

This is a particularly favorite outfit of mine. The nightgown made of white silk, has many details that create great sophistication, while presenting the peak of Grace’s beauty and femininity. The tunic is long, but reveals the upper thigh area, which is covered by a thin and delicate scarf. Grace looks elegant and princessy here.

5. The black dress

The classic black dress worn by Grace has an impressive dramatic impact. Here too, using the cut that embraces the narrow waist of Grace Kelly, in combination with a black belt, and pearl necklaces, the perfect look was created. The red lipstick seals the dramatic look in this great thriller.
