Fashion from “Rear Window”

Grace Kelley fashion from Hitchcock’s “Rear Window” with Jimmy Stewart.

ETA: One of my favorite lines in the movie is after Jimmy Stewart’s character criticizes her. He says her dress, nylons, & heels would never work in all the remote places he goes to take photographs.

Her response is priceless: “Well, if there’s one thing I know it’s how to wear the proper clothes.” 👍

Her character seemed to be quite well to do. When we watched it two weeks ago, I looked up the address she mentioned and it is a far better neighborhood than where Jimmy Setwart's character lived.

Yes. That was Jimmy Stewart’s character’s reason for not wanting to marry her. He said they were from 2 different worlds.

I've always thought Grace Kelly was one of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood. She always exuded such glamour and class. Plus she had a great story--she gave up her career in Hollywood to marry a prince and became Princess Grace of Monaco.

I saw several Hitchock movies when I was extremely young. The only one I remember is The Birds.

These costumes are beautiful!

I love the black dress with the sheer sleeves. It could still be worn today.

Women in the 1950's were so thin...tiny tiny waists! What happened?

I love all the fashion in Rear Window especially the white dress with black embroidery. I also love the fashion in White Christmas. Just two of my favorites.

Actually, she was an editor of a magazine. She even told Jimmy Stewart/Jeff she could get him a job in publishing.

Absolutely stunning! She always looked gorgeous in all her movies. When you watch the movie again, check out her charm bracelet - I am obessed with it! My DH and I were watching some old movies on TCM channel and he even commented on how different women looked then. No big augmented fish lips, natural size chests, natural booty, just classy and elegant. The clothing was also so feminine, you never saw a pair of jeans ever! Men in suits and hats, so handsome. I love the fashion from all those old movies - wish we dressed like that today.

Ah, Rear Window, one of my favorite of Hitchcock's movies and I have seen it so many times, love.

Grace Kelly's fashions were runway worthy, just stunning. She did them justice with her beauty and lovely figure. Everything about her in that movie and other movies was elegance and class.

Grace Kelly was an amazingly beautiful woman...no plastic surgery required. Her fashions in Rear Window and other films were spectacular.

When I cleared out my parents house. I opened the box with my Mom's preserved wedding gown. I measured the waist. It was 17". I knew that no one in the family could come close to fitting into the gown with a 17" waist. So in the trash it went.
