Grace Kelly Style Exhibition @ The Victoria and Albert Museum, London

As each week passes I get more and more excited about the upcoming Grace Kelly exhibition at the V&A Museum, London. I have seen many great exhibitions at the Museum (The Golden Age of Couture, Tiaras) but this one is proving to be the best.

Divided in to three sections- 'The Actress, The Bride, The Princess,' the exhibition will feature dresses from both High Society and Rear Window, along with Kelly's Oscar dress and Oscar statuette. The 'cabbage' dress she wore to her first meeting with Prince Rainier will be on show, alongside the original Kelly bag and Chanel suits, Van Cleef and Arpels jewellery and pieces from Dior, Givenchy, Balenciaga and YSL. If you haven't yet purchased your tickets, they can be purchased online at: www.vam.ac.uk. The exhibition opens on 17th May, and runs till the 26th September 2010.
