Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Audrey Hepburn’s character Holly Golightly in Blake Edwards’ 1961 romantic comedy Breakfast at Tiffany’s is often referenced as the epitome of elegance and sophistication, mostly thanks to the clothes she wears. Throughout the film, her wardrobe includes everything from cute cocktail dresses to casual outfits and trench coats – but one outfit defines the lovable character and has ultimately become one of the most iconic looks in cinematic history, and one of the most influential dresses of the 20th century. It’s the black satin sheath, designed by Hubert de Givenchy, seen in the opening scene of the film.
