Grace Kelly’s wedding dresses is one of the most copied dresses in history, and it looks like Kate’s dress is one of them.
When Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956 she wore the now iconic wedding dress designed by MGM costume designer Helen Rose.
Kate’s Dress; as we all know, was designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen.
Both Dresses have beautiful lace sleeves and a fitted bodice.
The bodice of Kate’s gown was from English Lace and French Chantilly, sewn onto ivory silk tulle.
Princess Grace’s gown was made from rose point silk lace and tulle.
Both dresses then have a full skirt and long veils.
There are still more similarities, both dresses had a row of satin buttons, but, Kate’s were at the back of the gown. Where as Grace’s where in the front. The v-neckline shows a subtle difference; Kate’s was more modern and allowed for more cleavage where as Grace’s was high neckline.
