Grace Kelly on her Wedding Day, 1956
Many girls grow up wanting to be real-life princesses, but Grace Jones managed to make those dreams come true when she married Prince Rainier of Monaco on April 18th, 1956. Kelly wore a dress provided by movie studio company MGM. Rumor has it that it required the work of 30 seamstresses and roughly six weeks to be made. If that doesn’t scream royal wedding dress, then what does?
On the guest list were fellow Hollywood stars, Ava Gardener, Cary Grant, and Gloria Swanson. The ceremony was a spectacle which Grace rumoredly thought to be “overwhelming”. Her son, Prince Albert of Monaco, revealed that both of his parents thought that the whole this was over the top.
