She was Gigi, a princess, Holly Golightly, a nun, Maid Marian, even an angel. And we believed her in every role. But Audrey Hepburn was also one of the most admired and emulated women of the twentieth century, who encouraged women to discover and highlight their own strength. By example, she not only changed the way women dress--she forever altered the way they viewed themselves. But Audrey Hepburn's beauty was more than skin deep. "You know the Audrey you saw onscreen? Audrey was like that in real life, only a million times better," says designer Jeffrey Banks. For the first time, this style biography reveals the details--fashion and otherwise--that contributed so greatly to Audrey's appeal. Drawing on original interviews with Hubert de Givenchy, Gregory Peck, Nancy Reagan, Doris Brynner, and Audrey Wilder, as well as reminiscences of professional friends like Steven Spielberg, Ralph Lauren, noted Hollywood photographer Bob Willoughby, Steven Meisel, and Kevyn Aucoin, Audrey Style brings the Audrey her family and friends loved to life. With more than ninety color and black-and-white photographs, many of which have never before been published, and original designer sketches from Edith Head, Hubert de Givenchy, Vera Wang, Manolo Blahnik, Alexander McQueen, and others, Audrey Style gives measure to the grace, humor, intelligence, generosity, and inimitable fashion sense that was Audrey Hepburn.

@Nikon4life , still the most photogenic face ever. After more than 6 decades, the images, the movies, even the voice remain undimmed in my memory. Many actresses and models have appeared since Audrey, Marilyn, and Ingrid, but none have ascended to their heights. When I see these books, I am ever so grateful to the photographers, cinematographers, stylists, lighting directors, wardrobe designers who have captured these icons.
Agree so much - that era seems to be the zenith of many "new" and fresh elements where the summation of the respective parts you mention produced as-yet deemed standards of beauty and grace present generations strive to re-capture (or I could simply maintain nostalgic remembrance) - I personally had a very innocent crush on the perceptual beauty of Sophia Loren . . .
