=== Fashion and style === [[File:Grace Kelly 1954.jpg|thumb|180px|left|Kelly featured in a spread for ''Modern Screen'' magazine in 1954]] While pregnant with her daughter Caroline in 1956, Princess Grace was frequently photographed clutching a distinctive leather handbag manufactured by [[Hermès]]. The purse, or [[Sac à dépêches]], was likely a shield to prevent her pregnant abdomen from being exposed to the prying eyes of the paparazzi. The photographs, however, popularized the purse and became so closely associated with the fashion icon that it would thereafter be known as the [[Kelly bag]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pursuitist.com/style/hermes-kelly-bag/ |title=History of the Hermes Kelly Bag |publisher=pursuitist.com |date=August 13, 2011 |access-date=August 13, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220202094250/https://pursuitist.com/hermes-kelly-bag/|archive-date=February 2, 2022|url-status=live}}</ref> Grace was inaugurated into the [[International Best Dressed List]] Hall of Fame in 1960 and in 1955, the Custom Tailored Guild of America listed her as the "Best-Tailored Woman".{{Sfn|Haugland|2006|p=960}}<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2012/07/best-dressed-hall-of-fame-reminder |title=The International Best-Dressed List Hall of Fame|magazine=Vanity Fair |date=June 7, 2012 |access-date=September 6, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220202094401/https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2012/07/best-dressed-hall-of-fame-reminder|archive-date=February 2, 2022|url-status=live}}</ref> Numerous exhibitions have been held of Kelly's life and clothing.
