About Audrey Hepburn

Synonymous with classic elegance and timeless beauty, Audrey Hepburn starred in such classic films of the 1950s as "Roman Holiday," "Funny Face," and of course, "Breakfast at Tiffany's" in the career-defining role of Holly Golightly. Born May 4, 1929 in Belgium, to an English banker father and Dutch baroness mother. She lived in Holland during WWII, unable to leave due to Hitler's occupation of the town. After the war, she studied ballet in London and then embarked on a career in acting in Hollywood. After she retired from acting, Hepburn was a UNICEF ambassador, raising money for poor children around the world and had also adopted children of all different nationalities -- long before Brad and Angelina were known for their philanthropic efforts.

Dressing up as Audrey Hepburn

You'll be the picture of elegance dressed as silver screen icon, Audrey Hepburn with costumes based on her timeless turn as Holly Golightly, the heroine of "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Put on an Audrey beehive wig in dark brown, piled high in a regal updo. Add a rhinestone tiara to compliment the look. Put on the Audrey Hepburn-style dress in a basic black '60s sleeveless shift-dress style with a belt. Add a pair of long black gloves and rhinestone bracelets, along with a long cigarette holder to finish off the look. Don't forget a pair of black high heeled pumps for a polished, pretty look.
