Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) was crazy about Tiffany as she says in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. But then which woman in the world would not be! The Hollywood icon had worn some of the most elegant ensembles ever to be designed in films and that too by leading designers in the world like Hubert de Givenchy. This applies to jewelry too and replicas of some of the pieces are still in fashion even though her movies were released almost half a century ago.
Start with the cult classic Audrey Hepburn necklace worn for the promotion of her movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s released in 1961. It was the canary Tiffany 128.54 carats diamond necklace designed by the store’s French designer Jean Schlumberger. The necklace can be seen at Tiffany’s store in New York Fifth Avenue where the opening scene was filmed. Also in the movie were black earrings each embellished with three singular pearls that she wore when she went to meet Sally Tomato in Sing Sing.
In Funny Face (1957), Hepburn played Jo Stockton, a young librarian in New York who is scouted by a fashion magazine photographer. Her first appearance as a model saw her in a diamond headdress and pear-shaped diamond earrings designed by French couturier Paul Duval.
William Wyler’s “How to Steal a Million” found the actress wearing a range of dazzling jewelry. From a beautiful Audrey Hepburn necklace and accessories to oversized diamond clip-on earrings by Cartier, the movie had it all.
Other defining jewelry that Audrey Hepburn had on in her films includes the diamond tiara in “Roman Holiday” (1953) and the diamond trio of a tiara, earrings, and choker necklace in My Fair Lady.
