Ten Gorgeous Grace Kelly Hair Moments

Published 10th Jan 2025 by Sian Jones

Grace Kelly is a name synonymous with classic Hollywood glamour and remains a style (and royal) icon to this day. Her beauty transcended the silver screen, influencing fashion and beauty trends for generations – including her hairstyles.

From chic updos to cascading waves, Grace's hair was an essential part of her look. Here, we take a look at her top 10 hair moment for some iconic inspiration.

Vintage Elegance

Vintage elegance at its very best with soft, shiny waves in an early promo shot. 

Deep Side Parting

One of Grace Kelly's most recogniseable looks is a deep side parting - note here how the hair is secured at the nape of the neck in a loose, knotted chignon.

Classic Hollywood Bob

Another iconic Grace Kelly look is the classic Hollywood bob which still graces (pardon the pun) the red carpet, now.

Golden Glamour

In 1955's To Catch a Thief, Grace ups the glamour for a masked ball with a towering updo. Taking attention to detail to a whole new level, a wig was also spray-painted gold to match her gown.

 

Award-Winning Updo

Master of the snatched bun, Grace Kelly's Oscars updo has provided red carpet inspiration for decades, oozing sleekness and sophistication.

Brilliant Braids

We love a braided updo and this 1973 style is no exception. Worn high on the head and padded out with beads and ribbon, this snaking braided bun makes for a quirky look, that's slightly more bohemian than we're used to seeing on Grace.  

 

Chic Chignon

Attending Cannes in the 1960s, Grace is effortlessly chic with this voluminous chignon. 

Royal Rolls

In later years, Grace sported an elegant brushed out roller set, as seen here in Monaco, 1968.

Framing Braids

This glossy rope braid creates a soft frame for a more flattering finish.
