Top 10 Fabulous Fashion Moments
Audrey Hepburn wears LBD by Givenchy for the movie, Breakfast At Tiffany's.
The story goes when Audrey was first sent to the Paris couture house of Hubert de Givenchy (who created ‘that' dress for the movie), he was expecting the other ‘Miss Hepburn' - Katharine, she of the trouser-wearing. Disappointment gave way to adoration. Givenchy designed the snug-fit and sleeveless LBD to hint at the racy character of Holly Golightly. The combination of effortlessly simple and spectacularly chic was a winner. The dress also became a backdrop for vital accessories: pearl necklace, big blobby blonde streaks in her hair (revolutionary), gloves and - very important - black supersized sunglasses worn by day and night. Her get up was immediately adopted as ‘uniform' by fashionistas. The dress continues to be copied and referenced. Rightly so.
