I'm sure you all know, Audrey Hepburn was a legendary film actress. She is also one of the most known fashion icons of all time. She captivated audiences with her effortless grace and aristocratic movements. During the 1950's, a time when curvy women like Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor dominated film, Hepburn stood out with tall clean lines that emphasized her slender physique. Everything she wore complimented her youthful figure. Hepburn's style was simple, yet glamorous and her classic nature still influences our fashion choices today.

Step 1: A key reason why Hepburn made such a style impact is that she was fully aware of her physique. Basically, Hepburn would never be caught dead in an outfit that didn't look absolutely fabulous. Aware of her positive physical attributes, as well as flaws.

Wear a little black dress. In 1926, French fashion designer, Coco Chanel, took the Little Black Dress (LBD) to the mainstream. Forthy years later, Hepburn as Holly Golightly in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" epitomized the style. Today, the LBD remains timeless and has been toted as a vital "basic" for any woman's wardrobe.
