Two Broadway designers are honoring a royal icon with a line of face masks that combine a bit of holiday elegance and a touch of grace.
The Princess Grace Foundationis releasing four limited-edition face masks amid the coronavirus pandemic that honor the stylish wardrobe Grace Kelly wore onscreen during her film career. Tony Award-winning costume designer Paul Tazewell has selected one look from three Alfred Hitchcock classics starring Princess Grace of Monaco.
Tazewell, costume designer for musical sensationHamilton, and fellow Broadway wardrobe designer Matthew Neff have reinterpreted Edith Head’s elegant black and white dress fromRear Windowfor one design, as well as the dazzling gold masquerade ball outfit Grace wore inTo Catch a Thieffor another.
A third mask, drawing inspiration from Grace’sDial M for Murderwardrobe, is a tribute to designer Moss Mabry’s signature red lace evening wear.

The costume workers, currently unemployed as Broadway remains shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic, are also creating pieces for Neff’s own line of masks.
Kelly, of course, died in 1982 in a tragic car accident.
