Audrey Hepburn Costume - Dress Like Audrey Hepburn for Halloween

Want to find an Audrey Hepburn costume so you can dress like a style icon for Halloween?  Good choice!  For not only was Audrey Hepburn the epitome of grace and style, she did for thin brunettes what Marilyn Monroe did for curvy blondes:  made them glamorous.    Audrey stayed away from the full skirts of the 50’s and opted for a leaner European silhouette instead.   They suited her figure better.

If you want to dress like Audrey Hepburn, remember to find a style that looks good on you too.

You can find Audrey Hepburn costumes online at places like Buy Costumes and Costume Craze.  Most costume companies offer her most iconic looks from the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s, where Audrey played Holly Golightly, a carefree young woman living in New York who had beautiful clothes and expensive tastes, but no furniture or food in her apartment.

Choose from her little black dress with the beautiful hat, or the long black dress with the tiara and cigarette holder.  If you happen to be a tall, think brunette like Audrey Hepburn, then twist your hair up and you’ll double-takes all night. 

Wouldn’t it be fun to be confused for a movie star?

Now while you can certainly buy an Audrey Hepburn costume, why not take a page from Audrey’s book and spend your money wiser?  Instead of a cheap lookalike costume that you’ll only wear once for Halloween before you shove it to the back of your closet, why not invest in a becoming black sheath that you can wear again and again instead?

That’s right.  Find your perfect “LBD” (Little Black Dress), and slip on some gloves and a hat.  Once the Halloween is over, you’ve got a great dress to wear again and again.

Or, if you’re really adventurous, look to some of her other movies for inspiration, like Funny Face or Sabrina.  Givenchy was the costumer for most of her films, so look through some of her movies to see which styles you love best.  Then, hit eBay or vintage clothing sites to see if you can replicate the look that way.  Not only will you feel more glamorous wearing authentic clothing from the period, you’ll also have a great piece to wear again and again.

Looking like Audrey Hepburn is easy if you know what to look for.  Yes, you can buy an Audrey Hepburn costume, or you can create an Audrey Hepburn-like look by pulling together some fabulous pieces.   Just think simple, clean, and classic, then add interest with accessories.  That’s what Audrey would do.
