12 Times Celebrities Channelled The Iconic Grace Kelly

Timeless - by Mahalia Chang

12 Times Celebrities Channelled The Iconic Grace Kelly

Whether for fashion inspiration or astrological alignment, Old Hollywood stars are eternally inspiring.

And when one of those Old Hollywood stars also happens to also be a real-life princess, the inspiration doubles.

So it's no surprise that, decades on, Grace Kelly is still a muse for many.

The actress turned Monegasque royal became known the world over for her timeless elegance and classic beauty, prompting a new wave of followers from her native America to her new home in Monaco.

And her influence hasn't waned since. In the years since her reign and tragic passing, many celebrities (and other royals) have turned to her image for inspiration. Whether it was her perfectly pinned waves or her refined style, Princess Grace's influence has proved enduring.

Below, 12 famous faces who looked to her for inspiration.
