As the weather heats up, I’ve been obsessing over this Audrey Hepburn dress. In some ways, it’s so uncharacteristic of Audrey–but in others? Totally classic. Let’s break it down:
The Style
Girly, Fluttery, Feminine, Fun, Simple. This is everything.
Why It’s So Audrey
The femininity and simplicity of the style, along with the whimsy of the pattern, the pink, and the fitted bodice/flouncy skirt are somehow girlish and glamorous at the same time.

Why It’s Classic
This is literally one-stop Hollywood glamour. The halter showing her gorgeous back and shoulders, the tan, the simple and elegant makeup, the skirt just short enough to show her legs going on for miles (and miles and miles!) Not to mention:
- The Hair! That mussed, summer bang.
- The Makeup! Understated cat-eye and red lipstick just for watering your plants? Why not?
- The Clothes! Did I mention that I’m obsessed with this dress?
Make It Your Own
Just because it’s hot out doesn’t mean you can’t steal a page out of Audrey’s book. Break out:
- A fit-and-flare halter dress striking a balance between sexy and girlish
- Black eyeliner
- Tweezers (you think her brows just grew in that way? No.)
