A little known fact is that Grace Kelly wore a second style on her wedding day in 1956, of which there are barely any photographs in existence.
The world watched on as Helen Rose’s design for Grace Kelly stole the limelight in the televised event, broadcasted by multiple European channels and was witnessed by over 30 million viewers.

On 18 April, a different piece of bridal fashion history was made, without any recognition.
The suit was made of taffeta, fully covered with French Alençon lace. It was also the work of Helen Rose, its bell shaped skirt was paired with a fitted bodice with a rounded collar jacket, featuring silk brocade embroidery.

Once the civil ceremony was over, Kelly changed into a simple day dress to avoid attention before arriving at the Saint Nicholas Cathedral in one of the most spectacular wedding gowns the world had ever seen just one day later.
