Grace Kelly - Style Icon at the Victoria and Albert

Event: Grace Kelly - Style Icon
Date: April 17th until September 26th

When history remembers the most elegant and stylish women to have ever walked the earth, the name Grace Kelly will feature highly on the list.

The American actress was the epitome of style during her heyday, always bedecked in the finest clothes that money could buy and carrying them off with effortless grace.

Fashionistas will soon be able to see her spectacular wardrobe thanks to a new exhibition coming to the Victoria and Albert which will trace the evolution of her style from her time as a Hollywood siren to becoming the Princess of Monaco.

The showcase will include more than 50 garments, ranging from an original Hermes Kelly bag, dresses from some of her films and her extensive collection of jewellery.

Highlights include the lace ensemble she wore during her marriage ceremony to Prince Rainier and haute couture gowns designed by the likes of Dior, Balenciaga and Yves Saint Laurent.

Style will very much be the dish of the day and fashionistas can enjoy it in abundance by also booking a stay at the luxury London hotel the Egerton House hotel during their time in the capital.

With the Get More From Your Stay package, guests can pick up some new clothes with a £50 voucher for Harrods.

Alternatively, they can swap the vouchers for traditional afternoon tea for two, a bottle of Veuve Clicquot, a romantic turndown or a late checkout until 18:00 GMT.
