"People dream of having a big swimming pool, but I dream of having a big wardrobe." Audrey Hepburn Her insights and choices in clothing make "Hepburn style" still the object of imitation by women around the world. Years later, Audrey's way of dressing can still be used as a reference for modern people's smart wardrobe; such as a simple black dress, a collarless and sleeveless dress, a white shirt, a tailored suit, or pretty cropped pants and black high heels. Collared sweaters, scarves, even ballet flats, low heels, and large black sunglasses are all her registered trademarks. Nowadays, in the clothing series of many brand designers, these styles are also named Audrey styles - with her elegant, simple and generous style, she shows a realm that transcends fashion and obtains a classic beauty.
The director of "Funny Face" once recalled that Audrey's pursuit of beauty was almost obsessive. He asked Audrey to wear black tights, a black top and black shoes, but asked her to wear white socks. Audrey said decisively: "Wearing white socks will destroy the entire black line, and my feet will look inconsistent." The director insisted that if you don't wear white socks, the whole person will be dissolved by the background, and your movements will be distorted. Can't tell. She burst into tears and ran into the cloakroom. After regaining her composure, she put on white socks and continued filming. Later, after watching the scene, she handed a note of thanks to the director. Because she had been worried that wearing white socks would make her size 8 and a half feet look even bigger, so she burst into tears.
Her friends said that Audrey pays more attention to quality than weight when buying clothes. If it is a shirt, it must be a shirt of first-class quality. She also likes to buy multiple sets of trousers of different styles and colors at one time, and then wear them matching each other, which makes them look good. Her wardrobe will never have exaggerated clothes like Dynasty, because she believes that elegance is the most important, and glittering things like metallic sequins and exaggerated tailoring are never suitable for her.
Audrey rarely wears makeup. She admits that she loves a clean face without makeup.
