    Grace Gummer had "so much fun" joining the style set at New York Fashion Week

    The 39-year-old actress celebrated the launch of her new TV series Love Story - in which she plays Caroline Kennedy - by hitting the runway shows at the glitzy fashion event in the Big Apple earlier this month - and Grace admits the experience was "so glamorous and so fun".


    She told WWD: "It's so much fun to wear all these beautiful clothes, and it's just in the right time and my {TV] show's coming out. It's just been so glamorous and fun. I had the best time."

    Grace added of the outfit she wore to the catwalk shows: "I had this leather trench on, but then underneath I had on this sort of muted, dark sage green-colored turtleneck sleeveless dress, and I would never wear a sleeveless anything in my day-to-day.

    "But that dress, it looked so good. Just the way it was cut was so beautiful. I went out to dinner with my husband for Valentine's Day after the show, and everyone at the restaurant was like: 'Who makes your dress?'"

    Grace went on to explain her TV show - which tells the story of John F. Kennedy Jr. and his stylish wife Carolyn Bessette - has been embraced by the "fashion community" since its release.

    She explained: "Definitely within the New York fashion community, a lot of people were like,: 'Oh my god, I just watched your show. It's incredible. The style's amazing. The fashion's amazing'."

    Sarah Pidgeon plays Carolyn in the show and the actress admitted she was hoping to keep a lot of the items she wore onscreen.

    She told The Hollywood Reporter: "There's not a bad outfit in the show. I was wearing Calvin Klein from the '90s in some of the scenes. I'm still waiting to see if I can get my hands on my wardrobe. Time will tell ...

    "There's a few pieces that I got, but I have my eye on a few outfits that I wore that I really think I need. It's like getting medically necessary at this point." Carolyn - who worked at Calvin Klein before her marriage to Kennedy - became known for her classic style and Sarah was thrilled to help recreate some of her most famous looks.

    She also found dyeing her hair blonde helped her inhabit the character, adding: "The hair was a big transformative part of finding the Carolyn that we see in the show, and in terms of costumes, it was particularly helpful later on in the series, when we were able to source those vintage pieces that you can see in these heavily photographed images of her.

    "But I think throughout the entire show, it really did feel like a collaboration. I always felt like I had a seat at the table. Not only in her costuming and hair and makeup, but also in the teamwork that we were doing. And making sure that I found integral parts of Carolyn.

    "Karri Hill, who did my color for the show, is just such a genius, and working with Barry Lee Moe, who found the Carolyn hair. I'm just so thankful to him, in particular, he styled it every day.

    "I am understanding how transformative the power of hair is, because this is my biggest hair transformation yet."
