 Marilyn Monroe  | Grace Kelly's formal updo at the 1956 Academy Awards (Audrey Hepburn is in the background) | |  | Back view of Grace's big bun backstage while speaking with Audrey (They were both presenters at the Oscars.) | | 
| Grace Kelly with big, thick short hairstyle (picture may be from 1940s, not 1950s) | |  | Grace in the mid-1950s. Sweet retro short hairdo for proms or weddings. She loved strapless dresses. This finely decorated white one is rather charming. | |  | Grace in 1953 once again with about chin-length short hair but this time her style has extreme waves. | |  | Extra volume in 1954 but just on the sides | |  | Grace Kelly in 1956 after she let her hair grow out a bit. Grace still has her trademark or favorite wavy texture. | |  |
