We’ve all looked to celebrity style for fashion inspo at some point in our lives. But it’s one thing to say “I love her outfit,” and it’s another to actually copy it in real life.

For this series, I’m going the extra mile and making it happen. Each week, I’m getting inspiration from a celebrity and copying five of her looks as closely as possible. Then, I’m reporting back to you: Did the outfits work in real life? Did I feel comfortable? Did people treat me differently? I’m sharing it all.

So far, I’ve dressed like Zendaya and Gigi Hadid. This week, I went back to the Golden Age of Hollywood and got inspired by the classic movie star, Grace Kelly.

Grace Kelly’s Style

In her prime, Grace Kelly wasn’t just one of the best actresses in Hollywood, she was a fashion icon on and off screen.

Simple and poised, Grace Kelly wore fresh and classic items. From loose pants to oxford shirts, A-line skirts and jeans, Grace wore everything in neutral colors and pastel colors, sometimes with a splash of brightness. She wore heels, espadrilles and even sneakers with absolute confidence.

Grace Kelly’s Style: Outfit #1 – Monday

For the first day, I chose this summery all-white Grace Kelly ensemble. In the photo, she’s wearing white pants, a classic white shirt, and flat black mary-janes. I wanted to try this outfit because of the color scheme, since I loved it so much on my Gigi Hadid week.

I already owned all of the items this time. (Thanks, Gigi!) I wore white linen pants, a white shirt, and black flats. My shirt didn’t have short sleeves, but it had the same style and cut as Grace’s, so I figured the sleeves wouldn’t be a big game changer.
