Grace Kelly was beloved as a leading lady, style icon, and notable as Hollywood’s princess. While much has been written about her career and life as a royal, there is nothing quite like Grace Kelly: The Illustrated World of a Fashion Icon by Megan Hess.

This book gorgeously tells the story of Kelly’s personal and professional life through lavish, colorful illustrations that capture Kelly’s vibrant image so well. Her life as a royal has some hallmarks of a fairytale, so it is quite clever that this book also chronicles her story in quite the storybook style. It presents beautifully with its eye-catching illustrations but the prose will certainly be enjoyed by adult readers.

Grace Kelly: The Illustrated World of a Fashion Icon is a fitting, delightful, and stunning homage to Kelly. I was pleasantly surprised to come across this lovely, engaging book, and found it well worth enjoying.
