The world remembered the famous British actress on May, 4, 2016 which was her 87th birthday. Born on May. 4, 1929, she became the film and fashion icon. Her sad demise on Jan. 20, 1993 had left a big void in the world of cinema.
People paid homage to this ''Sabrina'' famed actress on her 87th birthday. ''May 4 marks what would have been the 87th birthday of the Old Hollywood icon, who died in 1993. In honor of her effortless fashion sense, we've rounded up some of her most standout on-screen moments along with modern - and totally wearable! - ways to rock her elegant look IRL'' is what the article said.
The world still remembers her unique style quotient. ''Audrey Hepburn is one of the world's most admired fashion icons. The British actress was born Audrey Kathleen Ruston and was an active performer during Hollywood's "Golden Age'' reported AOL.
''Her 1954 film "Sabrina" made slender black pants and ballet flats the height of elegance, and by 1957's "Funny Face," Hepburn's black Salvatore Ferragamo loafers and turtleneck sweaters became not just a favorite of her Greenwich Village-dwelling character but also of many chic ladies on the city's streets'' reported footwearnews.
Harperbazaar came up with 16 rare photos of this evergreen actress. Born as Audrey Kathleen van Heemstra Rusto, in Brussels, Belgium, this actress went ahead to learn ballet in a young age. Joseph Victor Anthony Ruston and Baroness Ella van Heemstra were her parents. Hepburn's image as a style icon had impressed journalist Mark Tungate and he ended up describing her as a recognizable brand.
''Roman Holiday, released on September 2 1953, was her first leading film role, and she won an Oscar for it, as though everyone realised her star persona was already fully formed, and that few of her later characters would deviate from her unworldly, other-worldly Princess Ann'' mentioned The telegraph.
''Hepburn's name is synonymous with a retro fashion for 1950s and 1960s styling, the popularity of lounge music and nightclubs, the pleasures of playing board games while sipping cocktails and dressing up, supper-club style. Her performance as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) is still the benchmark of youthful glamour (even though the original heroine of Truman Capote's novel was a call girl, and Hepburn was 32 when she played the role)'' mentioned the Guardian.
Till date all the big fashion houses like Prada use her style statements. Recently Lupita Nyong'o's hairstyle came up as a topic of discussion and was compared to Hepburn's one. So even death has not been able to tarnish the image of this fabulous actress.
