A Brief History of Audrey Hepburn

View post on Instagram
 

Audrey Kathleen Ruston was born on May 4, 1929. She is a Belgian-born British personality famous for her style, unmatched sophistication and radiant beauty. Being a war baby (she was 10 years old during World War II), Audrey’s childhood was very challenging. However, her determination to achieve something great was always constant- she managed to attend school and learn ballet under unforeseen circumstances as well.

When she was in her early 20s, Audrey focused on gaining a career as an actress. She studied acting and began her journey as Audrey Hepburn. During the 1960s, Audrey Hepburn bestowed the film industry with a lot of renowned movies like Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961), Charade (1963), My Fair Lady (1964), Two for the Road (1967), Wait Until Dark (1967), etc. In addition, her fashion sensibilities became the talk of the town. From pearl necklaces to the Little Black Dress, we can credit Audrey for the popularity and rise of several style elements. In fact, Audrey Hepburn also made cat-eye sunnies famous!

An icon of Hollywood and fashion, Hepburn evolved as the main character of numerous documentaries and books.
