Dressing up as Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993) is easy, since there’s a licensed costume that perfectly duplicates her fabulous ensemble in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Her role as Holly Golightly was iconic, and everybody still recognizes that amazing black gown and beehive hairdo. But Audrey was much more than just a movie star. Her experiences during World War II (her family ate tulip bulbs to survive the Nazis) inspired in her a lifelong commitment to humanitarianism. After her retirement from films she became a worldwide ambassador for UNICEF.
But on to the costume! Here are the pieces you need:
1. Holly Golightly costume. Includes the dress, gloves, and sunglasses.
2. Accessory set. This set includes a costume necklace, modeled after the fabulous one Audrey wore in the move, along with earrings, a little tiara, a cigarette holder, and (again) sunglasses and gloves. These gloves are probably better than the ones that come with the dress (#1).
3. Holly Golightly wig. If you don’t have hair that you can fix into a beehive, this wig will do the trick.
