As one of the world’s most famous actresses, Audrey Hepburn set the stage for drastic changes in the way the world viewed women, style, and beauty. She was famous for movies such as Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Sabrina, and Roman Holiday; Three movies in which her wardrobe was the centerpiece. It is impossible to flawlessly recreate her elegance in dressing, but she taught us some very valuable lessons, such as dressing in clothing that properly fits your body shape and always appearing poised.
Let’s begin by discussing the fashions she popularized. Probably her most famous piece is the Little Black Dress. Coco Chanel first designed the signature dress during the 1920s, but it had never been worn the way Audrey wore it in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. In fact, I have a poster of her looking in the windows at Tiffany’s in her black gloves and little black dress. Her presentation of the classic LBD made it a staple in every girl’s wardrobe.

Kova & T at Shop Bop , Ruffle Dress at Banana Republic
Another classic look that Audrey made famous was her black capris and close fitting clothing, like in Sabrina and Funny Face. She would pair them with tight-fitting tops and black flats, which was an unusual look for the fifties and sixties. Audrey Hepburn did not attempt to hide her tiny body. You may have seen Gap bring back this “Back in Black” look in the past few seasons.

Audrey Hepburn also accessorized exquisitely. Long gloves, big hats, jewelry, sunglasses, and scarves were all worn by the actress constantly. She would constantly over-accessorize, by most people’s standards, but was able to pull it off in an absolutely stunning way.
