Emulating Hepburn Style
I have always loved old Hollywood and classic actors and actresses as I talked about in my previous post. However, my absolute favorite fashion icon from any film or television program would have to be Audrey Hepburn. Her classic looks, classic style, and timeless grace would be the envy of any woman. If you know anything about Ms. Hepburn, I think you would agree that she is a timeless beauty. She was an amazing actress, and on top of her acting, her style was amazing both on and off the screen. Her personality only added to her elegant style and grace. In her older years she devoted her time to charitable causes and human rights work.
One of Audreys most famous acting roles, if not her most famous, was her role in Breakfast at Tiffanys as the mixed up girl, Holly Golightly. Hepburns iconic style is often associated with this role she played. Her ensembles in the film included a lot of black, gray, white, and most of all diamonds. The single most iconic look of the film would be the first outfit you see Audrey in. She wears a long black gown, a pearl and diamond necklace, diamond earrings, a diamond tiara, and elbow length black gloves The title of the film itself references the famous jeweler Tiffany & Co. Emulating Audrey Hepburn style isnt that difficult. The only part of her style that may be a little difficult to emulate would be getting the diamonds Audrey wears. Unless you are someone who can afford diamonds, this part of your Audrey Hepburn look would have to be altered. However, since this films time, cubic zirconia jewelry has become immensely popular as the number one alternative to diamond jewelry. Cz jewelry looks just like diamond jewelry with some very slight differences that only some of the most trained professionals can identify.
You do not need to go around everyday in a full on Audrey Hepburn get up, but you can certainly take elements of her classic style and incorporate them into your personal style. Try to youre your side swept bangs, or your hair in a high pony tail with pearls and cz stud earrings. Or even try a classic black dress, black heels, and a cubic zirconia necklace. Remember that Audreys style was all about understated elegance. Keep it classic and you wont go wrong.
