Barbie Doll as Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Pink

And if you think these dolls are cool, be sure to check out our list of rare barbies that are worth a lot of money now.Her fashion was the epitome of Nineties cool – we bet you can already picture Cher’s yellow plaid skirt and jacket set, or the Calvin Klein slip dress. The rest of the pieces make up a day-time outfit: a cropped, sleeveless jacket made of suede, with a belt and buckle closure on the side, over a skirt made in the same fabric as the corset. Hubert de Givenchy created the iconic black dress for Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly, which she wore with strings of pearls and chic black sunglasses. Ingrid is not a small woman; she was the tallest patient I'd ever had, but she has so much bearing and carriage it doesn't matter that she isn't the skinny model of the magazine. She may indeed be more icon than character at this point, her signature little black dress, updo and cigarette holder now a recognised code – and costume – for cosmopolitan urban femininity even among people who have never seen Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

Audrey The Story Behind That Little Black Dress Worn by Audrey

When Truman Capote was writing the script of Breakfast at Tiffany’s, he had never thought of choosing Audrey Hepburn for role of Holly. They are using a new Audrey mold than the one they used for the Breakfast at Tiffany's dolls back in the 90s and she looks different than those dolls. Of all the actresses Head worked with, one of her most famous design relationships was that she had with Grace Kelly. This barbie doll looks wonderful and looks like Audrey Hepburn when she starred in the foll of Holly Golightly. The most stand-out look is when Vivian goes to the opera, wearing an off-the-shoulder red gown which played off Roberts’s auburn hair.It’s the 61st birthday for the famous fashion doll, Barbie, or Barbara Millicent Roberts, as is her full name. Following on: in the second part of this week’s blog Costume Society ambassador Victoria Haddock continues to trace the life and work of the renowned Costume Designer Edith Head.
