Grace Kelly is remembered as one of the best dressed actresses of all time. The actress who later became the Princess of Monaco remains a point of reference for many celebrities today who seek to look elegant and sophisticated like herself. In fact, her wedding dress is undoubtedly one of the most copied. One of Kelly's favorite designers? Without a doubt, Christian Dior, whose pieces she carried in some of the most important moments of her life as a princess. So this fashion house will pay tribute to its undisputed and timeless elegance.

To celebrate what would have been the late monarch's 90th birthday, Dior will hold an exhibition that opens its doors on April 27 at the Christian Dior museum in Granville, France.

The Grace of Monaco exhibition, Princess in Dior, will feature 85 dresses from the princess's private collection and which have been preserved at the Palace of Monaco since her tragic death in 1982 when she was just 52 years old.

The exhibition manager is fashion historian Florence Müller, who had the opportunity to enter the palace and see Kelly's wardrobe. It was precisely there that she realized that a quarter of her suits were from Dior.

Among the brand's most memorable dresses are the one that the princess chose to go to the celebration of her engagement to Prince Rainier III of Monaco, held at the Waldorf Astoria hotel, in New York, and the one she wore for her first official portrait as Princess Grace of Monaco.

If you are in Paris on those dates, don't miss the incredible exhibition honoring one of the best dressed women of all time.
