Whether it’s “Funny Face,” “Love in the Afternoon,” “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” “Paris When It Sizzles,” “Charade or How to Steal a Million,” the style of Audrey Hepburn both onscreen and off continues to captivate devotees to fashion.
Search the net and you’ll find dozens of sites dedicated to disseminating information on how to dress like her. Want to mimic her timeless style? Here are a few must-have items:
- Little black dress
- Trench coat
- Oversized dark sunglasses
- White shirt
- Capri pants
- Dark turtleneck
- Ballerina flats
- Hermès (or Hermès-inspired) scarf
- Simple jewelry
BTW, in 2006 a black Givenchy dress made for Hepburn for her role in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” sold for £467,200 at a London auction, which is equivalent to about $706,000 today.
Funny that Hepburn never saw herself as the woman every other woman wants to be, and she never tried to be that for others.
‘I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people’s minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing.’ -Audrey Hepburn
