Monday Muse: Grace Kelly

By Alexa Alfonso @lexlovescouture

A stunningly classic beauty, a fashion icon with a Hermes bag as a namesake, and a commoner who became the Princess of Monaco is mostly definitely worthy of being this week's Monday Muse. Grace Kelly rose to fame in the 1950's as a Hollywood actress. Having won an Oscar for Best Actress at age 25, it makes her the eighth youngest actress to win the award.

Kelly had already set the Hollywood scene ablaze when she met the charming Prince Rainier III of Monaco. It was a highly publicized whirlwind romance that helped cement Kelly as an icon. Once married, she gave up her acting career to become the Princess Consort of Monaco better known as "Grace of Monaco".
