Audrey Hepburn, is my favorite actress and fashion icon. I recently bought my copy of 'How to be Audrey' and that book has got me hooked! While reading and applying it in my mannerisms, it got me thinking about my favorite Audery Hepburn looks from her iconic movies.
While every facet of her style was fashionable, the area where she truly shined was in her choice of dresses. It is safe to say that a new dress was Audrey's true vice! She adored wearing the newest trends and certainly made a point to set a few herself. Nearly every movie Hepburn starred in has an iconic dress to go with it. Please let me know if you don't think that these are the top 3 Audrey Hepburn dresses and comment with your favorite dress and reasons to back it up! Here is a list of my top 3 favorites MY FAIR LADY DRESS – ASCOT RIDING OUTFIT
The ostentatious black and white ensemble sported by Eliza Doolittle at the Royal Ascot Races is one of the most unique costumes ever worn by Miss Hepburn onscreen. Renowned English costume designer Cecil Beaton made this extraordinary piece for the actress, who is usually known for his classically cut, timeless silhouettes. Beaton was known for designing in Gigi as well, and is up there with the best of them as a curator of stylish and original designs for film and stage superstars like Audrey.

This exquisite ensemble features layers upon layers of lace ruffles, full sleeves, a mermaid silhouette, black and white striped ribbons, and a larger-than-life-hat topped with flowers. Based on looks alone, no one in the film could’ve guessed that Hepburn’s character wasn’t a born-and-bred member of high society while wearing this outfit. SABRINA DRESS - WHITE with Black Embroidery
The jaw-dropping, strapless, white satin ball gown with black and gold embroidery worn for Audrey’s role in Sabrina also came courtesy of her partnership with Hubert de Givenchy. This organdy gown also has a detachable court train, lined with black ruffles and showcases beautiful floral embroidery, complete with delicate beadwork throughout.

Breakfast at Tiffany's Little Black Dress
The Breakfast at Tiffany’s black satin sheath dress is hands down the epitome of Audrey Hepburn’s individual brand of glamour. When you imagine the actress, this is the dress that you think of her wearing.
This piece, also masterminded by Givenchy, has become her trademark. This sleek, polished silhouette of this gown is particularly remarkable, especially on Hepburn’s slender and delicate figure. The half-moon shape of the neckline of the back of this dress gives the perfect frame for the oversized pearls she draped around her neck to accessorize. The character in the dress was the one-and-only Holly Golightly, now the timeless characterization of feminine allure and strength. Without the dress, her impact on audiences across the world, then as well as today, would surely have been different.
