Audrey was always a style
favourite since she first hit the big screen in the fifties, continuing on
today, even after her death in 1993. Her look has been very important and
influential in fashion.
The ultimate rule for Audrey
style is to ignore trends. Stick with the classics and (more
importantly) what suits you.
Fashion Facts
Favoured Colours - Chic black and classic white.
Audrey's favourite colour was said to have been pink but she rarely ever wore
it.
Favourite Designer - Givenchy, of course -
she wore his designs on and off screen. He designed her outfits in
Breakfast at Tiffany's, Love in the Afternoon, Funny Face,
Charade, Paris When It Sizzles, and most of her Sabrina looks.
Her shoes were mainly from Ferragamo.
Key Item - There are many which could help you
create just a little bit of Audrey's style but a neck scarf like the one she
wore in Roman Holiday is a perfect and versatile little item, and one
that you can add your own personality to by donning a colour and design you
love.
Off-Duty Style - Audrey's favourite casual style
was a pair of skinny pants, a turtle neck and some flat shoes - all in black.
She wore this combination often as she went to and from the studios.
Audrey was rarely in spangles or
sequins but sometimes did add a whimsical touch with a cute hat, scarf, or some
pretty bows.
The
Audrey Essentials
A White Shirt - These became a big thing in the 50s
after Audrey wore one in Roman Holiday. Yours should be plain, with no
fancy stuff and for the full on Audrey look you should tie it at the waist.
A Pair of Flats - Another trend set by Audrey, she
loved the way they
minimised her height. They also went with anything, from her Capri pants to her
full fifties skirts.
A Little Black Dress - First made famous by Audrey
in Sabrina
and later in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Your dress has to be plain, as it's
your accessories that will make it into a fab outfit.
A Long Scarf - Make sure its a neutral colour as
you'll want it to go with anything, then you an wear it every way possible.
A Chic Fitted Suit - Make an impression like
Sabrina. Invest in one in a versatile colour wear you can wear the jacket
or skirt with anything.
