Audrey Hepburn’s Roman Holiday

Audrey Hepburn started her career on Broadway when she starred in Gigi. Two years later, the starlet became a household name with her film Roman Holiday (1954), for which she won an Academy Award and Golden Globe. That same year, she also won a Tony for her theater work.
After Roman Holiday, her career as star-status was set in stone. She went on to star in some of the ’50s biggest blockbusters including Sabrina, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Funny Face. She also became one of fashion’s most heralded style icons. We can thank the star for our pants — literally. In an era where skirts and dresses were the go-to for a girl, Hepburn championed sleek, tailored cigarette pants (a flattering look we still wear today).
