Breakfast at Tiffany’s: The Story of America’s Sweetheart, Audrey Hepburn

Humble As Can Be

It sure came as a shock to hear that the beauty icon didn’t consider herself as beautiful, but in addition to that, she also didn’t consider herself as a fashion and style icon either. Tons of women wanted to emulate her look – from her hairstyles to her dresses to her oversized sunglasses. Just look at her in this photo – little did Hepburn realize that her style was what women for decades after would try to copy.

What’s beautiful about her perspective on her style was how she wanted it to be for the masses. As she said, “My appearance is accessible to everyone. With hair tied in a bun, big sunglasses, and black dress, every woman can look like me.”
