On-screen outfit: The Little Black Dress
Romance 1961

The Little Black Dress

Breakfast at Tiffany's · Holly Golightly · Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn's sleeveless Givenchy gown turned the little black dress into the most quoted outfit in cinema. Worn with opera gloves, a pearl choker and a long cigarette holder, its power is in what it leaves out.

Styling notes

Keep the line long and unbroken — one sleek black column, a single strand of pearls and elbow-length gloves. The drama lives in the neckline and the way you carry it.
