Style
While pregnant with her daughter Caroline in 1956, Kelly was frequently photographed clutching a distinctive leather hand-bag manufactured by Hermès. The purse, or Sac à dépêches, was likely a shield to prevent Kelly's pregnancy from being exposed to the prying eyes of the paparazzi. The photographs, however, popularized the purse and became so closely associated with the fashion icon that the purse would thereafter be known as the Kelly Bag.

In 1955, Kelly was photographed by Howell Conant in Jamaica. He photographed her without makeup in a naturalistic setting, a departure from the traditional portrayal of actresses. The resulting photographs were published in Collier's magazine, with a celebrated photo of Kelly rising from the water with wet hair making the cover. Following her marriage, Conant was the unofficial photographer to the House of Grimaldi and extensively photographed Kelly, her husband, and their three children. In 1992, Conant published Grace, a book of photographs that he took during Kelly's 26-year reign as Princess of Monaco.

Numerous exhibitions have been held of Kelly's life and clothing. The Philadelphia Museum of Art presented Kelly's wedding dress in a 2006 exhibition to mark the 50th anniversary of her marriage, and a retrospective of her wardrobe was held at London's Victoria and Albert Museum in 2010. The V&A exhibition continued in Australia at the Bendigo Art Gallery in 2012. . This famous dress, seen around the world, took thirty five tailors six weeks to complete. An exhibition of Kelly's life as Princess of Monaco was held at the Ekaterina Cultural Foundation in Moscow in 2008 in conjunction with Monaco's Grimaldi Forum. A plaque was placed on the "Rodeo Drive Walk of Style" in recognition of Kelly's contributions to style and fashion in 2009.

Fashion
After her death, Grace’s legacy as a fashion icon lived on. Modern designers such as Tommy Hilfiger and Zach Posen have cited her as a fashion inspiration. During her life, Grace was known for introducing the “fresh faced” look, one that involved bright skin and natural beauty with little makeup. Grace’s fashion legacy was even commemorated at the Victoria and Albert Museum of London, where an exhibit titled, Grace Kelly: Style Icon paid tribute to the star’s impact on the world of fashion. . The exhibit included 50 of Grace's legendary ensembles. Style wise, Grace is remembered for her "college-girl" every day fashion, defined by her pulled together yet simple look.

Grace Kelly
Hi,

We are Cornell University students working on a class project that involves the editing of Wikipedia pages. We are all very new to the Wikipedia editing process, and as such we were hoping for some feedback from some more experienced editors on our edits to the Grace Kelly article. We were wondering if you could assist us by verifying our sources, which we posted [|here] on the article's talk page. We were also hoping to make some minor changes to the structure of the article and were hoping for some input on that as well. Our plan for the new structure is as follows:

PERSONAL LIFE
 * Family
 * Marriage
 * Wedding
 * Later Years
 * Death

Career
 * Movies
 * Awards
 * Fashion
 * Modeling

Legacy
 * Style
 * Links to the Community
 * Historical Sites
 * Philanthropy
