Audrey Hepburn’s Best Fashion Moments Ever

Audrey Hepburn; a ballet dancer turned actress, turned fashion icon and a global humanitarian redefined born in Brussels in 1929. Her beauty and style continue to transcend time and she remains the epitome of class. Audrey had an incredible film career, with classics such as My Fair Lady, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Roman Holiday, winning awards and accolades from critics and viewers alike. She remains one of 16 people to achieve EGOT status: winning Emmy, Grammy, Oscar & Tony awards. Audrey devoted the later years of her life to being a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, traveling across the world raising awareness and funds for those in need. In 1992, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Honor for her efforts and contributions. Unfortunately, Audrey would pass away a month later at the young age of 63 at her home in Switzerland from appendiceal cancer. While she was taken from her family and the world far too early, her legacy in film, fashion and humanitarianism remains as strong as ever. There are many life lessons we can take from Audrey, such as the power of strong silhouettes in fashion, unapologetically being our authentic goofy selves, giving back to those less fortunate, and the power of the ‘little black dress’, aka LBD.

To celebrate her life, we are looking back at her most unforgettable fashion moments on and off the big screen!
