Grace Kelly only wore the coat for the premiere of her movie The Country Girl, in December 1954. 

The gown is a floor length creation with back train, featuring column silouette, double thin spaghetti shoulder straps and ruffled waist line. It was said to be the most expensive Oscars dress ever made at the time, with the silk alone running $4,000.

And after she wore the blue gown alone at the Oscar Ceremony, 
it went on to become one of the most memorable gowns in Academy Awards history.
