Grace Kelly in her Wedding Dress - Needleminder
Worn in her wedding to Prince Rainier III of Monaco on April 19, 1956, Grace Kelly's wedding dress was a gift from her studio, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and was designed by Academy Award-winning costume designer, Helen Rose, who had created the star's wardrobe for four films, including High Society and The Swan.
Conceived to complement the bride’s fairy-princess image, it is made of silk faille and antique Brussels lace embellished with pearls and was constructed with meticulous care—and under strict security—by MGM’s wardrobe department.
