audrey hepburn

Picture
4 may 1929 – 20 january 1993
zodiac sign / horoscope: taurus
film actress, style icon
"you can even say that i hated myself at certain periods. i was too fat, or maybe too tall, or maybe just plain too ugly...you can say my definiteness stems from underlying feelings of insecurity and inferiority. i couldn't conquer these feelings by acting indecisive. i found the only way to get the better of them was by adopting a forceful, concentrated drive."

-Audrey Hepburn
THE FILMS
Audrey Hepburn best film Charade, 1963
THE FACE

Under the surreal and glorious sky of Hollywood, thousands of stars have shined, but few have remain there, shining, like Audrey Hepburn.
THE FIGURE
I’d like not to have such angular shoulders, such big feet, such a big nose.”

---- Audrey Hepburn
Audrey Hepburn used to complain that her breast is too small, her collar bone is too prominent and her feet are too large. To us, her figure as perfect as an angel created by God in her name.

THE MANNER
Any skilled actress can play elegance on screen, but Audrey Hepburn incarnates elegance, on or off screen, whether sitting, standing or just making a phone call.

THE STYLE
“elegance is the only beauty that never fades."

​- Audrey Hepburn
 
Picture
For more than 60 years, no name has been connected with elegance like that of Audrey Hepburn, and no one's style has been imitated more than hers around the world. Other than her blessed overall beauty, Audrey has mastered the art of dressing: She knew what suits her, and dressed  them, repeatedly.

Dresses

Few women can carry dress the way Audrey Hepburn does, dress is not a dress anymore, but a frame for an artwork. She likes to wear sleeveless design as it shows her "good shoulders" and high neckline to hide her collar bone.

Shirts and blouses

Only Audrey can wear a shirt that way: tie the tails at the back, not only changing the shape and style of the shirt,  but transforms it into an effortless tool to enhance her already waspy waist and lengthy legs.
