Fashion Rules and Tips

  • Clean lines and simple siloutes were the key. Less was always more for Audrey.
  • Audrey knew exactly what she wanted, and knew what looked good on her body. Since she was tall and thin, she didn't buy clothes that flattered the popular curvy shapes of Marilyn Moroe and Elizabeth Taylor. Intead she bought clothes that looked good on her shape.
  • Manners were very impotant. The key to being classy for Audrey was to always behave and act like a lady.
  • Along with good manners, posture was big aspect in Audrey's style. Before she was an actress, Audrey was actually a ballet dancer, which gave her good posture.
  • Comfort came first before looking good in the eyes of Audrey. She would never be sacrifice being in pain for looking good.
  • Makeup was never used to hide Audrey's true beauty, which shone quite naturally. Mostly she focused on bringing out her eyes, by lining her top lids with black eye liner and winging it out at the ends.
  • Not only was makeup simple for Audrey, but she kept her hair simple and chic as well. In most pictures, Audrey is seen with her iconic short pixie cut.

" I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people's minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing."
