While shopping for her trousseau, Grace Kelly (soon to be Princess Grace) bought a number of suits from Ben Zuckerman, including this lovely example. She wore the suit to her wedding rehearsal  She accessorised it with a pair of white gloves, a turban and a clip board, which caused, according to Judith Balaban Quine, bridesmaid to Miss Kelly, several people to confuse Grace for a secretary, as no future princess could look so business like!
