The actress in her youth was fond of ballet, so she loved ballet flats and loafers, which resembled pointe shoes. She preferred flat shoes (especially Tod\u2019s<\/a>) to heels. She wore this shoe both in movies and in everyday life.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the 1950s and 1960s, two trends struggled for leadership in the fashion industry \u2014 a laconic beatnik style and an extravagant haute couture<\/em>. The symbol of the first became short pants, in which Audrey Hepburn starred in “Sabrina” and “Funny Face”. The image she added ballet flats.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ultrashort haircuts, pixie<\/em> and bob<\/em> became iconic in 1965 thanks to the British stylist Vidal Sassoon, \u201cThe Beatles of Hairdressing\u201d, according to the NY Times<\/a>. But the heroines of Audrey began experimenting with hair length even earlier. So, Audrey has no curls in \u201cRoman holidays\u201d of 1953 and \u201cSabrina\u201d 1954. She follows the same tendency in the films \u201cLove in the Afternoon\u201d 1957, \u201cHow to Steal a Million\u201d 1966 and \u201cTwo in a Way\u201d 1967.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the early 1960s, Hollywood celebrities and Audrey Hepburn turned massive sunglasses into a trend. The actress favored the British brand Oliver Goldsmith<\/em>. So in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” Holly Golightly appears in glasses with leopard rim and dark green glasses – this is the Manhattan <\/em>model, which is confused with Ray-ban Waybarer<\/em>. The main character of \u201cHow to Steal a Million\u201d Nicole, and Yuhu<\/em> Joanna in \u201cTwo on the Road\u201d chose Koko in a white volume frame. All three vintage models can be purchased in brand boutiques<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Audrey Hepburn was a muse and a close friend of designer Hubert de Givenchy. He created dozens of costumes for her heroine, including a lace veil, which the actress showed in the movie \u201cHow to Steal a Million\u201d, and a miniature black dress with a cut on the back, which became the hallmark of \u201cBreakfast at Tiffany’s\u201d. Audrey has repeatedly said that the status of an icon of style is a merit of Hubert de Givenchy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many of the outfits created by this designer, entered the history of fashion. Sketches are often rethought, refined and reappeared on the podiums. Thus, a dress with a boat neckline, which the heroine \u201cSabrina\u201d wears, formed the basis of the wedding dress of Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex in 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n

The son of the actress, Sean Hepburn Ferrer, in a book devoted to his mother, “Audrey Hepburn, An Elegant Spirit”, tells the story<\/a> of how Hubert de Givenchy provided a personal jet for his mother. She was diagnosed with a tumor at the age of 63. Doctors suggested that no more than 3 months left to live. Audrey’s only desire was to leave the California hospital, return to Switzerland and spend the Christmas holidays with her family. The flight would not have taken place without the help of friends Hubert de Givenchy and Bunny Mellon. The aircraft was lined with flowers. After the death of the actress, the designer was appointed the official manager of the inheritance.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
