8 Grace Kelly Basics Everyone Should Own in 2019

If you were to look up “classic style” in the dictionary, you’d certainly find Grace Kelly’s name. The actress, who was known for films like Hitchcock’s Rear Window, became the Princess of Monaco upon her marriage to Prince Rainier III in 1956. Of course, her style was more than befitting of her royal title. The epitome of elegance, Kelly favored streamlined, sophisticated pieces like crisp white button-down blouses, pretty embroidered dresses, one-piece swimsuits, tweed skirt suits, and more. 

As classic as her style was, it was far from boring or predictable. She also threw in some sartorial curveballs, including a very ’70s Pucci caftan, which she paired with a pink headwrap and beaded bag. Who wouldn’t kill to wear that entire look in 2019?
