Happy Birthday Audrey Hepburn!

One day late, but I didn't want to miss this post! Audrey Hepburn was born on May 4th in Brussels, Belgium in 1929. She started out as a ballerina, but soon got involved in acting. Audrey moved to England in the late 1940's, and appeared in many London theatre productions. After being spotted on stage by a scout for Paramount Pictures in 1951, well, the rest is history. Not only did she become one of the most well known actresses in the world, but she also became a huge fashion icon. I always seem to see the same pictures of Audrey Hepburn, especially the Breakfast At Tiffany's photos, etc. So I tried to post some more unique, and of course gorgeous pics of her. My favorite by far is the first photo - the hat, the hair, the gloves, the suitcase, I love it all!

Vintage Fashion on Film - My Fair Lady

Although this film was made in 1960's, the time period of the movie was Edwardian. Wow, and the gowns are just amazing! It's no surprise that it won the oscar that year for best costumes. Audrey Hepburn shines in each and every outfit, showcasing not only stunning dresses, but incredible hats, gloves and jewelry. I just wonder how many of the costumes were authentic Edwardian period garments, and how many were reproduction designs?
