Audrey Hepburn in Hats

Product Information

This is a must have, iconic piece that will add a sense of feminine romanticism to any outfit. Perfect for any holiday in the sun. The enlarged ‘butterfly’ frame-shape emphasised her feminine features. She was small, her sunglasses were large. The subtly upswept endpieces gave the frame a modest cat-eye shape which complimented her slender stature and narrow face. After the war, Hepburn returned to London with her mother. There, she took acting and elocution lessons, participated in theatrical work and registered herself as a freelance actress. Although she only has about 20 roles to her name, many of the ones she played are iconic. As reported by The Washington Post, Billy Wilder, who directed Sabrina, described her allure:

Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady (1964), pushed into high gear Ascot’s headwear extravaganza. Designed by milliner extraordinaire, Madame Paulette, the over-the-top hats captured the style and fashion of the horseracing set, as well as showed the grandness of an accessory. Although a designer and hat maker are the creators, the wearer is the presenter. Every hat is unique on its wearer, but the style is shared. The pillbox hat, glamorized by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, found equal glamour onscreen with Audrey Hepburn in Charade (1963). I was 18 years old when I first wore a hat in earnest. It was a velvet bowler hat, lined with a golden ribbon with a gentle sparkle. I had just walked out of my college dorm, ready to discover the joys of walking alone through a park on an autumn afternoon. This very adult activity called for a very elegant accessory. Except that, when I dressed the hat, it looked anything but. It felt like a foreign object on my head. On my stroll pedestrians looked at me. I kept my eyes forward. This was not the romantic picture I had envisioned. As the 21st century dawned, Penélope Cruz took the sun hat to seductive new levels as the matador’s mistress in Manolete (2007); while Audrey Tatou reminded us of the true meaning of a classic, playing French fashion royalty in Coco Before Chanel (2009).
