A look at why Audrey Hepburn continues to inspire us even today. 
When it comes to fashion and style, the word icon is used quite loosely today. But one of the few people, who will always personify this tag in our books, is classic beauty and champion of all things elegant — Audrey Hepburn. May 4, her birthday (which would have been her 85th), had us reminiscing about her impeccable flamboyance and beauty, qualities that made her one of the greatest female screen legends cinema has seen till date. Her roles were very tasteful and her outfits, extremely sophisticated. 
Her impact on fashion has been immense. “I’m just crazy about Tiffany’s!” she exclaimed in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and millions of girls still echo this obsession even today. Hepburn’s jewellery enhanced her grace and foxy figure. Combining pearls and diamonds was her particular favourite look. The famous Little Black Dress spruced with pearl necklace designs are symbol, even today, of poised perfection. Ever since this immortal role of hers, she assumed the role of Hubert de Givenchy’s life long muse too. That’s not to say that her other looks were not just as memorable. Her white lace dress paired with a choker diamond necklace as a woman transformed, defines elegance in My Fair Lady while her easy chic style in Roman Holiday still finds many takers! She was a notorious lover of tiaras, stud earrings and her jewellery preferences were always fuss-free, letting subtlety do the talking. Her sartorial picks were versatile, her charm universal, her attitude positive and her demeanour always humble, which is what made her so endearing! Audrey Hepburn was not one of those bosomy actress associated with the golden age of Hollywood. She was very feminine, polished, graceful and always ahead of her time. No wonder she always was and will be a trendsetter for ages to come. Amen to that.
