When it comes to style, there is something very timeless about monochrome. Pretty much every icon from Grace Kelly, to Audrey Hepburn, to Marilyn Monroe, all loved to wear either head-to-toe black, or, black and white, so I decided to help you guys recreate some of their most famous formal and casual looks by using items from the high street!
