Grace Kelly was nothing short of the epitome of perfection. These rare unpublished photos of a princess-to-be (courtesy of LIFE), depict some wonderfully candid moments. From an assistant keeping her petticoats from getting muddied as she was leaving the Hollywood studio lot for the last time, to photos of Grace carefully selecting and packing her extensive trousseau before moving to Europe, with her poodle Oliver looking on in bemusement...

The studio gave Grace the twelve costumes she wore in the film High Society... to keep! From tapered trousers to beautiful evening gowns.
