Ivy icon: Grace Kelly
I was so taken with that picture of her on the JS website I ordered a copy. Anyone out there kind enough to select and post additional photographs of the lady wearing shirts, jeans and loafers?

I think it was Gore Vidal who said that he heard she'd slept with every major male lead in Hollywood.

Many thanks for posting the pictures. Have you sen the one of her in penny loafers?
Gore Vidal was only jealous!

Re: Ivy icon: Grace Kelly
I found two pictures of Grace Kelly wearing loafers today but didn't have chance to scan them from the book. They are both are from the same photo session and I think that one of them was used recently (did Weejun use it on his site?) It looks very familiar. I'll get them done tomorrow and post them up in the evening. And yeah, the forthcoming Donald Spoto biography of her due this June is supposed to be a real eye opener!

^ I seem to remember a photo on Andyland, but the shoos were mostly cut off in the photo. I have seen a photo of her in penny loafers in a book on Gary Cooper, perhaps I will be able to find it again. Coop & his wife wore them too.

Re: Ivy icon: Grace Kelly
Great stuff Staceyboy! The details are so precise that it seems almost fetishistic. Perhaps just for our lot.
Best.

She's beautiful.
Are those jeans in the last two b/w pics?

Re: Ivy icon: Grace Kelly
This thread is proving rather inspired, me thinks.

Hepburn might have been an English - Belgian? - rose, but she wasn't playing in this league! Erotic splendour!

Re: Ivy icon: Grace Kelly
nice pics! My wife has an Audrey-fetish, but I think her style is a bit more Grace than Audrey. I'll have to show her this thread/pics!
