WALK OF STYLE LENGTHENS: Princess Grace of Monaco and Cartier will be the 14th and 15th recipients of the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style Award, the city of Beverly Hills and the Rodeo Drive Committee said Tuesday. This marks the first time a celebrity and a jeweler will receive the award, which was conceived in 2003 and has been given to Giorgio Armani, Tom Ford, Gianni and Donatella Versace, Valentino and Manolo Blahnik, among others. The ceremony will take place on Oct. 22 with Prince Albert II of Monaco in attendance to accept the award on his late mother’s behalf. The royal family and the 162-year-old French jeweler have been famously linked since 1956, when Prince Ranier III of Monaco gave Grace Kelly a 10.47-carat diamond engagement ring from Cartier, which she wore in her last movie, “High Society.”
