Update 2/4/2025
Updated model with the same dataset as before but the new training settings I have been using recently.
Grace Kelly, born Grace Patricia Kelly on November 12, 1929, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was an American actress who became Princess of Monaco after marrying Prince Rainier III in 1956. Renowned for her poise, elegance, and beauty, Kelly remains one of the most iconic figures of classic Hollywood cinema and European royalty.
Kelly began her acting career in the early 1950s, appearing in live television dramas before making her film debut in Fourteen Hours (1951). She gained widespread recognition for her role in High Noon (1952) and quickly rose to stardom through her collaborations with Alfred Hitchcock, starring in Dial M for Murder (1954), Rear Window (1954), and To Catch a Thief (1955).
In 1954, she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in The Country Girl, opposite Bing Crosby. Despite her rapid ascent in Hollywood, Kelly retired from acting at age 26 to marry Prince Rainier and assume royal duties as Princess of Monaco.
As princess, she became a beloved public figure, known for her humanitarian work, cultural advocacy, and timeless fashion sense. Though she stepped away from acting, her legacy endured through her films and public image.
Grace Kelly died tragically in a car accident on September 14, 1982, but remains a symbol of classic beauty, sophistication, and grace—both on screen and in real life.
For best results, use a strength of around 1.0-1.2.

The new model is looking great. What settings have you changed to get the better accuracy?
Thank you!
I am using Kohya with fairly typical settings and have some tweaks here and there. The most important was dropping the learning rate to learning_rate = 0.00001 and bumping up the steps to compensate (I usually see good results around 1800 to 2100 steps, sometimes 2300 before overcooking. I also started with 1 epoch, then 4, and now Grace and recent ones are on 10, but I don't know how much of a change that really makes. I also try to do large datasets too. Grace here is 215 images, for instance.
Going back through my catalog, Brittany Ishibashi is the first one with these new changes, as I was having an incredibly hard time getting her mole on her lip to show up, so I did these changes to fix that.
The one problem is the training takes longer, so now my poor desktop with a 3090 in it is basically spending ~14 hours a day training a model instead of the four or five it was before. This limits how quickly I can make them, unfortunately, so I might have to look into renting a server or something.
