Iconic Fashion and Style in Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Looking back, it seems that Audrey Hepburn and Breakfast at Tiffany’s fused seamlessly together. But did you know that author of the book on which the movie was based, Truman Capote, wanted Marylyn Monroe to play the role of call girl Holly Golightly? It was a welcome break for Audrey Hepburn from being a princess and a chauffeur’s daughter, roles she had played till then.

Hepburn and Hubert de Givenchy worked closely on designing her wardrobe. What she wore in the film was simple, elegant and iconic. Breakfast at Tiffany’s was the movie that made the black sheath dress a winner for all times. If you look for a replica of a Breakfast at Tiffany’s dress for sale, this black dress will be the first that you will be offered.



The dress is a black satin gown with a low-cut back, worn with long, black satin gloves and a Tiffany necklace of multiple strands of pearls and topped with a diamond hair ornament. The dress is worn by Audrey Holly Golightly Hepburn in the opening scene when she alights from a taxi early morning in front of Tiffany’s.

Another memorable costume was the man’s shirt that Hepburn wears to bed. It was created by Edward Head who designed the other costumes of the actor in the film. The outfit along with the sleeping mask was unique and exclusive.

Of the movie, Hepburn had said, “I should be a stylish Holly Golightly, even if that’s all I can contribute”.
