After watching How to Steal a Million, with Audrey Hepburn and Peter O' Toole, not only was I in the mood to go steal the Mona Lisa, but I also wanted to dress for the part. As soon as Audrey Hepburn became Givenchy's muse, her closet became a prized possession. Audrey was a firm believer in "the little black dress" and it showed. Most of the clothes she wore in movies and in public were simple black dresses. Since she had a habit of buying two of everything that she loved in separate colors, mostly one black and one white, Audrey had a large collection of designer wear.
My favourite dress she ever wore, seen above in the photos from the film How to Steal a Million, is actually being sold this week in London in a charity auction where the proceeds will go to UNICEF, a program in which Audrey helped very much when she was still alive. The estimated price the black, lace dress will be sold for? 20000 £. ($29680 USD).
This post isn't just about Audrey's actual clothes, but also about how you can "steal" her look for cheap!

**I like to find my little black dresses at secondhand stores as well, it makes sure that nobody else will have it.
