Grace's Oscar Night


At the age of 25 Grace Kelly won the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in The Country Girl.  In honor of the nominations being released this week, I wanted to revisit some photographs from that night in 1955.  A little over a year from when these photographs were taken, Grace Kelly would become her Serene Highness the Princess of Monaco.  I am obsessed with all things Grace and have every book on her.  Expect quite a few posts on my favorite style icon!  Hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend!





Grace's Oscar Acceptance Speech: "The thrill of this moment keeps me from saying what I really feel.  I can only say thank you, with all my heart, to all whom have made this possible for me.  Thank you!"


bonjoursophie:

Overwhelmed after winning  Best Actress, Kelly sobs backstage, clutching her Oscar in one hand and  a handkerchief in the other. Two Paramount publicists help her collect  herself before escorting her to meet the press.














Grace's Oscar gown was designed by Edith Head.
