Princess Grace of Monaco, 1956

When Hollywood star Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier III of Monaco, her dress was exquisite. The elegant, high-necked bodice was made from an intricate rose point silk lace and accentuated with hundreds of tiny seed pearls. The skirt was an elaborate silk faille and married to the bodice by a pleated silk faille cummerbund. Academy Awardwinning costume designer Helen Rose made the dress for Grace, working tirelessly with a team of 30 seamstresses for weeks. Instead of a tiara, Grace wore a Juliet cap adorned with pearls and paper orange blossoms to hold her veil in place.
