"starring Nicole Kidman, chronicling the life of actress and 1950s style icon Grace Kelly at the royal palace. Despite the more than cool reception from critics and the low rating at the global box office, the film is an occasion to remember the impeccable style and images of Grace, who became a style icon for her and subsequent generations.
To this day, world stylists copy her complex hairstyles by celebrity hairdresser Alexandre de Paris, and, according to the international creative consultant for the John Frieda brand and the chief stylist of the film “Princess of Monaco” Kerry Warna, it is curious that the numerous styling on the “Grace Kelly” theme does not 100% replicate those that can be seen in black and white photos, but always conveys the essence of her image and character.
“You look at modern actresses with their hair curled and pinned at the back of the head and immediately think of Grace Kelly and her graceful, asymmetrical, wavy bob,” says the stylist. “Similarly, when working with Nicole’s (Kidman’s – editor’s note) styling, I was given the task not to blindly copy what I saw in archival photographs, but to try to capture the image of the princess and understand how Alexander de Paris intended it.”
The wavy bob, admittedly, has long become a favorite evening hairstyle of celebrity stylists. But the interpretation of this hairstyle is especially interesting - an artificial bob, which is made from long hair and looks no less elegant. “This is a fairly simple but very effective hairstyle, especially when it comes to the red carpet,” says Oribe creative stylist Luis Orozco.
The famous catwalk stylist echoes him Sam McKnight, who chose the faux bob as the main theme of his looks at the Dries van Noten fall show. “I was tasked with giving the models wavy hairstyles, but classic wavy hair would look too glamorous on the catwalk, so the choice fell on a less frivolous and more formal hairstyle in the style of the 1940s,” he explained. The result is curled hair laid in a deep parting, forming a tight roll at the back of the head, imperceptibly pinned at the bottom and decorated with a metal pin-clothespin.
Without waiting for autumn, celebrity stylists are already rushing to reproduce the fake bob on the heads of their clients. So, just recently, actress Zoe Saldana showed off her neat hairstyle in the best traditions of Hollywood. Previously, we saw versions of this hairstyle from Emma Watson, Jennifer Connelly, Allison Williams and other celebrities.
Professional advice: When starting to create a faux bob, make sure that the hair is flexible and textured. It is these two qualities that are invaluable when working with hair from which you need to create such a styling. Please note that we are not talking about fixing them with varnish (which will only enhance the unwanted helmet effect), but about giving them texture - a quality that, during the styling process, will allow the hairstyle not to fall apart and maintain the desired volume.
1. At the preparation stage, wash your hair well with shampoo and conditioner - the latter will make it lighter and softer.
2. Apply texturizing cream or spray to damp hair and blow dry.
3. Divide your hair into five equal sections and curl each one so that you get a large and not too aggressive wave.
4. Place your hair in a deep side parting, forming a “movement” of the wave back, then carefully curl the ends inward to the desired length and secure tightly with bobby pins.
5. Straighten your hair and, as it were, stretch it in width, controlling the fixation.
6. Spray with a light hair shine spray and, if desired, decorate with a large hairpin, as in the autumn Dries van Noten show.

The elegant hairstyle suits all face shapes, but it is important to place the volume at the back of the head correctly. The voluminous part of the hairstyle is usually done on the lower cheekbone line. If you are a fan of a more restrained version of the hairstyle, lower the half of the hairstyle below the cheekbone.

Apply heat protectant to prevent damage to the hair structure due to super-hot temperatures.
1. Divide your hair into 5 zones, as shown in the photo.

FOR WHICH EVENTS IS THE HAIRSTYLE SUITABLE?
It is important to understand that a hairstyle is an accessory that should fit into the overall look. For example, a fashionable hairstyle with a tracksuit is equivalent to playing sports in heels. This type of styling will look too much even for the office.
This style is perfect, for example, for a New Year's party and corporate event.
Bright personality.
Karl Lagerfeld says: to become a legend in the fashion world, you need to look so that you can easily draw a friendly caricature of you. In other words - recognizable. Apparently, Grace Kelly intuitively felt this, since all her life she wore almost the same hairstyle, which eventually became her calling card
Grace wore a medium-length haircut, which this season stylists call lob, that is, Long bob, at the very beginning of her career, when she worked as a fashion model, and when she became the Princess of Monaco. My hair color has always been light, ranging from platinum to more natural wheat tones. The styling also remained almost unchanged: she usually left her forehead open, put her hair in a deep side parting and curled it in large curls. Although this hairstyle looks laconic and simple, it is quite difficult to do it yourself. That is why on the fateful day of meeting her future husband - Prince Rainier of Monaco - Kelly did not look like herself. In France, hairdressers and other beauty industry workers went on strike, and the protesters did not go to work even for the sake of a Hollywood star. Grace did what she could - she combed her damp hair smoothly and tied it into a bun. Next we know - the prince was captivated by sophistication and modesty, which he did not expect from the film star, and after just six months the Hollywood princess became the princess of Monaco.
To become royal.
Grace was raised very strictly: her mother was a zealous Catholic, her father was an Olympic champion in rowing. Kelly's childhood can be described in one word - discipline, discipline, discipline. Strict parents, who dreamed of a profitable marriage for their daughter, spared no effort to instill in her the attitude and ability to behave worthy of a queen. And the most important thing for the desired impression is impeccable posture and proud head position. Grace spent hours training to keep her back straight, walk with her head held high, and still look natural and at ease. And for good reason. Having become a princess, she was in no way inferior in appearance to royalty.
The perfect wardrobe.
Grace's short film career coincided with the heyday of the new Look style, the most feminine and luxurious style of the 20th century. As a rule, both in the movies and in life, she was dressed by the costume designers of the Hollywood film studio Metro Goldwyn Mayer, Edith Head and Helen Rose. The requirements for the outfits were as follows: they should be luxurious, but should not overshadow Kelly’s beauty or distract attention from her. In addition, Grace did not like things that were too revealing, so she rarely wore deep necklines, unlike, for example, Ava Gardner or Marilyn Monroe. Her choice for every day is flared skirts, fitted blouses and shirts, usually buttoned almost to the very top. For evening outings, the star most often chose dresses - bustiers - they revealed luxurious shoulders, which she was very proud of.
Focus on details.
About the fact that the Herm fashion house is in honor of the Princess of Monaco? Probably everyone knows the name of the bag. The legendary Kelly bag has been and remains an object of desire for many women, despite its impressive cost. And, interestingly, the bag has maintained an impeccable reputation, despite its wild popularity - unlike another bag - the legend Birkin. Other indispensable attributes of Kelly's look were scarves (usually, without further ado, she also chose Herm?s, less often - Ferragamo), short pearl beads and tiny earrings, as well as gloves, with which she gladly complemented both evening outfits and everyday looks.
Aristocratic manners.
Many films have been made about Grace, many actresses have tried to imitate her image. As a rule, it is in vain, even if the make-up artists managed to create the impression of external resemblance (the latest example is Nicole Kidman’s attempt in the film “Princess of Monaco”. The reason that the fake always turned out to be much worse than the original was usually that no one managed to repeat the mannerisms of the star Soft smooth movements, full of both royalty and openness, a sincere smile, a graceful gait - Grace did not work as a star, but again - thanks to her parents, who from childhood prepared her daughter to shine in high society.
Ocean of passions.
Director Alfred Hitchcock did not hide why he distinguishes Grace from other stars: “she is like a volcano under the snow, behind her coldness lies an unimaginable heat of passion. This is much more interesting than just a sexy thing.” The heat of passion really took place - Grace was incredibly amorous and led a very stormy personal life, sometimes managing to have affairs with several filming partners at the same time. True, unlike many other actresses, she had enough intelligence, tact and self-esteem not to make personal things public. It’s not that she hid the details of her adventures, she just never advertised them, remaining for millions of fans the ideal of an impeccable lady. People@new. Women style@new. Women.
The embodiment of sophistication, sophistication, impeccable taste - this is how the Oscar-winning Hollywood actress and Princess of Monaco, the great Grace Kelly, will forever remain in history.
Always and everywhere, in any setting, she knew how to look appropriate, elegant and impeccably stylish. Without a doubt, Grace was one of the main style icons of the twentieth century.
Luxurious simplicity: Grace's style secrets
Looking at the photo of Grace Kelly, you will not find a single fashion mistake: not a hint of vulgarity, pretentiousness, or pretentiousness - only elegance in its best embodiment. What is the secret of the actress’s impeccable style?
At the Oscars
Laconicism and simplicity of finishing and cut
Despite the fact that Grace grew up in a very wealthy family of a millionaire and a fashion model, she was brought up very strictly - restraint in everything was instilled in the future princess from childhood. Having become a Hollywood diva, Kelly realized that she looked best in outfits that did not overshadow, but emphasized her delicate and sophisticated beauty.
Feminine silhouette
The Princess of Monaco preferred dresses with a new look silhouette, such as in the next photo - fitted, with a fitted bodice and a wide flared skirt. This style perfectly emphasized the fragile feminine beauty of the actress. Grace Kelly's famous lace wedding dress (pictured) had a similar style.
The dress in which the Princess of Monaco walked down the aisle became the standard of wedding fashion for many years: Kate Middleton's wedding dress is its modern interpretation.

Natural expensive fabrics
Silk and satin, cotton, velvet, cashmere and wool, finely crafted leather and suede gave outfits and accessories even of very simple geometry a truly royal luster.
Well-chosen accessories
Snow-white gloves can be considered the hallmark of Grace Kelly's style - the actress knew how to wear them so elegantly and at the same time naturally, like no one else. Grace preferred short gloves for daytime outings, while the actress complemented her evening dresses with high, elbow-length or higher, satin models (pictured below).
Gloves for the look
One cannot help but say separately about Grace’s attitude towards handbags - after all, one of the legendary handbag models of the Hermes fashion house is named after her (in the next famous photo, the Princess of Monaco covers her rounded tummy with this handbag, trying to hide her pregnancy from the paparazzi). Kelly's ability to carry a small, simplistic handbag with unsurpassed grace inspired the founders of the house to give the accessory her name.

Restraint and moderation in the use of jewelry.
You won't find a photo in which the Hollywood princess would be hung with diamonds like a Christmas tree. Kelly had a very clear sense of moderation in the use of jewelry and chose jewelry of a simple shape, with small stones. The actress's favorites were round earrings or clips (pictured below).
The Princess of Monaco preferred pearls to all precious stones. Both on screen and in life, Grace loved to complement her look with a short string of white or pink pearls.
Relevance in everything
Having received an excellent upbringing, from her youth Grace knew how to choose outfits according to the occasion and setting. Elegant floor-length evening dresses for evenings, elegant cocktail dresses for family events, formal two-piece suits for formal receptions, blouses with Capri pants for yacht trips.
Color harmony
The Princess of Monaco knew very well the strengths of her beauty - Grace emphasized her platinum curls, delicate porcelain skin, and blue eyes with a special range of outfits. Judging by photos from those years, Kelly's favorite shades were white, pearl, icy blue, silver gray, soft coral, graphite and black.
Royal bearing
As you know, no less important than elegant outfits is the ability to wear them correctly. The Princess of Monaco, who even in adulthood (the princess was not destined to live to old age) had a beautiful figure and magnificent posture, adorned any outfit - this is evidenced by numerous photographs of Kelly taken shortly before her tragic death.
Hair and makeup are integral components of the image
All her life, Kelly did not change her natural hair color - a natural blonde, Grace put her curls in neat hairstyles or left them flowing freely over her shoulders, removing only a few strands from her face. In makeup, as in her entire look, the Princess of Monaco showed restraint: porcelain skin, discreet eye makeup and light (and for evening outings, red) lipstick, emphasizing the naturally beautiful shape of the actress’s lips.
How to create a Grace Kelly look
Of course, thoughtlessly copying the style of the Princess of Monaco would look inappropriate today. However, her elegant image can become an inspiration for creating sets for all occasions - after all, there is no woman who would not be suited to Grace’s sophisticated and discreet style.
Evening or cocktail look
Grace Kelly's style can inspire you to create a sophisticated look: choose fitted dresses with a full skirt (for daytime events - knee-length, for evenings - floor-length), made of plain silk or satin. Choose either light colors or classic black. Decorate your neck with a string of natural pearls, tie your hair in a low bun, a small minaudiere bag and mid-heeled pumps will complete the set.
Smart casual look
A discreet, elegant and at the same time relaxed and informal look in the style of the Princess of Monaco can be created by combining a white shirt in a men's style with cropped skinny trousers in blue, gray or beige and shoes with small heels or flat soles (loafers, brogues, moccasins or kitten heel shoes). Complete the set with a satin headscarf and small stud earrings or clip-on earrings with your favorite round-shaped princess.
Business image
A formal two-piece suit with a fitted jacket is one of Kelly's favorite looks. A silk blouse decorated with frill, lace, pleating or bow will help make it less formal and more feminine. Small pearl earrings, a strict and laconic leather handbag and matching shoes will complete the look.
Even though many years have passed and the golden age of Hollywood has passed, the sophisticated image of the sophisticated blonde Grace Kelly will forever remain a canonical example of simple sophistication, elegance and aristocratic beauty. Famous beauties of our time never cease to copy her style (or skillfully play with it) - you can see echoes of Grace’s images in the wardrobe of the Duchess of Cambridge Catherine Middleton and the current Princess of Monaco Charlene - the wife of the son of the great Kelly.
Charlene - Princess of Monaco
Nicole Kidman (pictured below), who played Grace in the biographical film, also admitted more than once that she was fascinated by the princess’s style.
Undoubtedly, every woman has something to learn from Grace - restraint, sophistication, excellent manners and the ability to create an aura of pure beauty around herself.
Grace Kelly went down in history not only as the highest-grossing actress of the 20th century, Oscar winner and wife of the Prince of Monaco, but also as an impeccable style icon!
The American actress of Irish descent was well-educated, talented, moderately secretive and knew how to present herself to the public correctly. At first, Grace was admired as a talented actress, then sincerely loved as the wife of the ruler of Monaco (at a time when the principality was not yet a haven for the rich).
Now the image of an aristocratic, well-bred lady, which was brilliantly created by a girl after her engagement to a prince, is still an undeniable standard of style for a lady belonging to the elite of society. What fashion techniques did Grace Kelly use to become a real lady?
Branded bags
The presence of high-quality handbags in a woman's wardrobe is the same indicator of status as the presence of expensive watches in a man's wardrobe. One of Grace's favorite bags was later even named after her - Kelly. A roomy and practical Hermes bag became one of the actress’s favorite accessories in the mid-50s. There is a version that the Hollywood star specifically chose such a large bag model in order to hide her rounded belly from the paparazzi. In any case, the woman did good advertising for this model: later the Hermes brand released a more feminine design of the Kelly bag.
Pearl
Many talented and beautiful women of the 20th century preferred pearl necklaces and chokers. Grace was no exception. Pearls are a symbol of wealth and good taste. Sometimes a string of pearls on the neck says more about its owner than her entire outfit!
Laconic large earrings
Grace simply adored large solid earrings, mostly round in shape, as well as massive clip-on earrings and studs. Since the actress preferred to wear pearls, these earrings were the ideal option for combination. Status classic large earrings emphasized the beautiful oval of the face and focused attention on the hairstyle.
Feminine silhouette
Grace Kelly preferred to emphasize her figure with fitted styles. One of my favorites was the new look silhouette. In such dresses anyone will look like a princess!
Grace often wore dresses and skirts with drapery as evening wear, which made her look delicate and light.
Even the Princess of Monaco’s everyday clothes looked distinctly elegant and feminine: blouses, sweaters, turtlenecks, shirts, skirts and trousers. And every time she skillfully transformed even the most neutral clothes into feminine ones, creating an emphasis on the waist.
Scarves and ribbons
Grace's always perfect hairstyle is another attribute that made her a real lady. To draw attention to her hair, the girl often wore hoops and tied silk ribbons on her head, which later became an integral part of her image.
At a more mature age, Grace began wearing scarves, invariably combining them with “cinema” black glasses.
