Audrey Hepburn

AUDREY HEPBURN

Most enlargeable

Audrey Hepburn is not only one of our idols and role models, but few ladies ever looked as good en bouffant as she!

Audrey's most "froufrou" film was Funny Face, - the wedding gown was a delight!

We must say that our heart skips a beat whenever we see a picture of Audrey Hepburn--and to see her in pettis, with her skirt showing their edges, well, that just makes our day!

A classy lady with a classy look!

(Oh! to have been there in those happy days!)

We are grateful we were a contemporary of this wonderful soul.
She was a genuinely good person, and we celebrate her.

Audrey will live in our hearts forever!

Is she showing her petticoat?"

Especially charming
and candid photos

We miss her so!

Audrey was wonderful in many ways and we all miss her. We found a poem on her 'Beauty Tips' which she wrote (read at her funeral);
it will give an idea of the deep, kind soul she possessed:

For attractive lips? Speak words of kindness...
For lovely eyes?, Seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone...
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.
If you share this with another woman, something good will happen. You will boost another woman's self esteem, and she will know that you care about her.

Here is a luscious gown that the wonderful
Audrey wore in the 1964 film
My Fair Lady
Is this a doll?

...with husband, Mel Ferrer

They were in several films together,
either as actors or directors

(1953)

As many of you know, we place Audrey Hepburn on the
highest rung of womanhood - she was a treasure.

Because of that, it disturbs her when Audrey is possibly represented as wearing blatant froufrou in a picture
which looks a bit looks suspicious, but could be authentic (she IS dancing, and she DID wear more such in her
younger years) - does anyone know anything about this picture which could clarify this? We certainly could be wrong.

From David M. (Not of course, indicting David, by any means)

Tina F.: "This frock was for the Academy Awards in 1954, when she won for Roman Holiday (this linked gown was worn at the beginning of the film). It was an adaptation of the gorgeous long sleeved frock she wore in the last scene of that movie, and designed by Edith Head. It was put up for auction last fall. I personally prefer the original; what an incredible outfit."

Apparently a dramatic production of sorts

Surely, we can all imagine what the lower half of the dress looked like!

From Rhino

"It is very difficult to find new pictures of Audrey showing her petticoat; I keep looking. When I saw the first of these I thought I might have found that elusive new picture. The caption beneath the photo spelled out exactly what was going on though:

The actress Audrey Hepburn photographed by William Klein at a studio in Paris (France), during a photo shoot of a fashion editorial for the publicity material of her new movie “Two for the Road”, in September 1966.

Audrey was wearing:

Cocktail dress: Givenchy (sleeveless, of cloqué silk in a beautiful shade of turquoise, with a round neckline softly gathered, and in back, featuring the detail of a slit, opening from neck to the waist, at the waist a wide sash in the same fabric, skirt softly gathered, with the hem edged in tousled band of the frayed fabric, liner of silk in the same shade, of his haute couture collection for Autumn/Winter 1966/67).

Notes: Her hairstyle was created by Alexandre de Paris and done by Grazia De Rossi,
and her makeup was done by Alberto De Rossi (Grazia’s husband).

...in the 1952 film

The Secret People

This was her first significant film role

Rhino sends this magazine feature, showing
Audreymodeling a (strange?) Givenchy gown.

But, then again, she looked good in anything,
anything looked good on her
