Audrey Hepburn: A Look Back at One of Hollywood's Most Elegant Leading Ladies
9:42 AM |
| May 4th, 2014 would have been this Hollywood Actress' 84th birthday. In her honor, today we're taking a look back at her most memorable fashion moments. "I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles." -Audrey Hepburn |
Today we would like to focus on the impact that she had on fashion. As one of the original 'Style Icons', Audrey has shown us that a chic, ladylike look is here to stay. Join us as we take a look at some of her most memorable moments, both on and off screen and let us know how this gamine actress has influenced your style choices.
 |
| Audrey was many things: a great actress, an advocate for children, a fan of short hair and most certainly, a stylish woman. |
 |
| Whether she's rocking a menswear look with a plaid jacket and bowtie, winning an Oscar for Best Actress for her work in Roman Holiday in a Givenchy Dress or simply at a dress fitting, Audrey knew which looks worked for her while being fearless about trying something new. |
 |
| Funny face was a film in love with fashion and gave us many ladylike silhouettes and prints although we're especially fond of the Givenchy gown on the right. |
 |
| Though she's not showing a lot of skin (especially compared to outfits these days), Audrey still turned heads everywhere she went. From a simple button down tucked into a pleated skirt while filming Roman Holiday to a double-breasted coat while on a trip to Rome to a gorgeous sundress (sans shoes) to play golf, she stuck with what she knew worked for her and never compromised. |
 |
| Perhaps one of the most famous characters she ever played, Audrey's interpretation of Holly Golightly gave the world something to remember for years and years to come. The Little Black Dress was born on the set of Breakfast at Tiffany's and has been a staple in women's closets ever since. |
 |
| Formal gowns always looked so very classy on Audrey - from shot for a promotion to the still shot of War and Peace, this leading lady was the perfect fashion muse. |
 |
| The fashion in My Fair Lady (left) certainly got our attention although it was a bit removed from Audrey's normal choices as seen on the right. |
 |
| Happy 84th birthday, Audrey! You may be gone but your influence has certainly been lasting! |
