Before Kate—and even Diana—there was Grace Kelly, the original royal celebrity. And before she was royal, she was one of the most beloved movie stars in Hollywood. Known for her unparalleled style sense, serious acting chops (Kelly won an Oscar for her performance in The Country Girl), distinctly sophisticated accent, and, yes, her grace, Kelly is way up there in the ranks of legendary style icons. The TIFF Bell Lightbox has just announced their upcoming exhibit, Grace Kelly: From Movie Star to Princess, which will celebrate the actress by showcasing some of her most legendary belongings, including a replica of her iconic wedding dress from her wedding to Prince Ranier of Monaco, her signature Hermès “Kelly Bag,” and many of her most famous dresses designed by the likes of Edith Head, Oleg Cassini, Madame Grès and Balenciaga. Running from November 4 through January 12, 2012, the exhibit will be accompanied by Icy Fire: The Hitchcock Blonde, a film showcase of some of Kelly’s most notable roles in films including To Catch a Thief, Dial M for Murder and Rear Window as well as those of Tippi Hedren and Kim Novack.

Holt Renfrew is publicizing the renovation of its long-standing Yorkdale location. This news comes right after two big moves at the Bay: two days ago the Bay announced the opening of The Room Vancouver, and a week ago it announced renovations at 80 of its stores across Canada. A press release issued this morning announced the expansion of Holt Renfrew’s Yorkdale store for the Holiday 2012 season. The department store will be increasing its space by 40 per cent—which means even more Marc by Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang and Balenciaga, as well as some hot new labels (to be announced in the coming months).

During one of our first interviews with runway makeup artist Pat McGrath, we asked her was what book she was reading for pleasure. “Nothing at the moment,” she quickly responded, “I don’t have time.” We believe it: aside from her duties as CoverGirl’s Global Creative Director, everyone wants a piece of Pat, including all the top designers who enlist her season after season to create looks that complement their collections. And, because McGrath is the mastermind backstage at countless shows, almost every beauty trend can be traced back to her. Here are some of our favourite McGrath-made looks and the trends they inspired for Spring 2011.

Woke up with a smile knowing I had a Balenciaga ticket in hand! After a gulping a cappuccino, I dashed down the Rue de Rivoli to the Hotel Crillon where paparazzi lined the entrance waiting for fashion photo ops. It doesn’t matter how dressed I get for these things, there will always be someone better. This morning, it was a woman in a red Balmain studded moto jacket who got those cameras snapping.
