An Ode to Audrey: Breakfast at Tiffany's

Along with Marilyn Monroe over the vent in The Seven Year Itch and Cary Grant running from the crop duster in North By Northwest, Audrey Hepburn holding an over sized cigarette whilst in character as Holly Golightly wearing that Givency LBD remains one of the most iconic images of 20th century American cinema.


Hepburn said that playing Golightly was one of her most difficult roles because Audrey was shy and an introvert, whilst Holly Golightly was outgoing and an extrovert. It is one of my favourite films, simply because it is pure escapism. Of course, we all know what Golightly really did for a living, but she still seems like such a glamorous, captivating and alluring woman.


And I can't forget, she had gorgeous clothes!
