When I think about Audrey Hepburn, I think of a woman who is a beautiful, stylish, free spirited, who always has a smile on her face. Hepburn, who is one of my role models, is best known for her roles in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” “Sabrina” and “Roman Holiday.” However, despite the fact that Hepburn has been dead for over 20 years, she still remains an idol.
Audrey Hepburn became my favorite actress after I watched "Breakfast at Tiffany's." From the moment I saw the iconic scene of Hepburn enjoying a pastry in the company of Tiffany baubles, to the end scene where she embraces Fred in a passionate kiss in the rain, I was immersed in the world the movie created and practically on the verge of tears (And, I never cry at the end of movies). Soon after, I treated myself to other Hepburn classics such as "Sabrina," "Love In the Afternoon," "Roman Holiday" and "How to Steal a Million." Without a doubt, Audrey Hepburn was an amazing actress, and every one of those movies are classics.
Hepburn is known for so much more than her movies. She's also known for her impeccable sense of style and her inner and outer beauty. Whenever I look at pictures of Audrey, I can't help but notice that she is perfectly dressed in an outfit that is both effortless and stylish. She's also extremely put together, down to every last detail. Even though Hepburn's era was over 50 years ago, her outfits still manage to be stylish, whether it's her little black dress seen in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” or a set of fitted capri pants. When looking at a picture of Audrey, you can't help but notice that she has little or no makeup. However, she doesn't need it, because she radiates beauty from the inside out.
Audrey is a league of her own compared to her peers and even modern day actresses. What I like about her is she’s known best for her roles, fashion sense and charity work, rather than some scandal. She spent much of her later life out of the spotlight, with her family, being a mother, which I think is great. But, whenever you sit down to an Audrey Hepburn movie, you're engrossed in the world she creates. Hepburn was real, and unaffected by her success. There are very few actresses--both past and present--who can put her heels next to Hepburn in both her beauty and her talent. Therefore, she’s someone who continues to be a favorite.
Overall, Audrey Hepburn is a talented and beautiful lady whose movies will continuously be loved for many generations, past and present. Her legacy is something to be celebrated, and is something that will continue to live on. She’ll be someone that many girls look up to, and is beautiful both inside and out. And that is why, Audrey Hepburn will always be someone I will look up to.
