If you are looking at going for a different look this Halloween and want to look elegant and classy on Halloween Day- there can hardly be a more classy and elegant choice than the Audrey Hepburn costume. It would not be wrong to say that Audrey Hepburn is one of the classiest women of all times.

Surprisingly, an Audrey Hepburn costume is relatively easy to assemble. Considering that Breakfast at Tiffany’s is one of Audrey Hepburn’s most popular movies, you may want to consider going for the Holly Golightly look that Hepburn sported in the movie. Here is a list of all the things you will need to create the iconic Audrey Hepburn look from Breakfast at Tiffany’s:

Little Black Dress: You will need a little black dress which is sleeveless and has an elegant boat shaped neckline. It will need to be fitted at the waist and should be about knee length. If you already have something that is similar to this, you can use it. On the other hand, if you are good at these things, you can stitch yourself this black number. Else, you can get a dress stitched to your specification. If none of these options are available, you may want to consider hiring one, but it is difficult to get the right fit in rented clothes. You may also want to consider buying a dress like this one. You will surely be able to use it and flaunt it over and over again.

Black Heels: Most women are likely to already own a pair of black heels and if you don’t, this may be good investment. You will be able to use them for a long time to come.

Sunglasses: You cannot have a complete Audrey Hepburn costume without those oversized sunglasses! While Audrey Hepburn sported the Ray Ban Wayfarers, these are far too expensive for most people. However, a large number of knock offs are available, so you should be able to easily find a pair that is highly affordable.

Black Opera Gloves:  For a really elegant and classy look, you surely need to have opera gloves. These extend till above the elbow and give a very dignified look to the wearer. The best option is to find black opera gloves, but even a white satin pair should do just fine.

Pearls: Your Audrey Hepburn costume cannot be complete without a set of pearls. Ideally, you want a necklace that has oversized pearls or you need a choker with many strings of pearls. If you choose to buy these, they will compliment a large number of ensembles. However, they are expensive. On the other hand, you could buy faux pearls or even hire them.

Accessories: there are a few great additions you can make to get the complete Audrey Hepburn look. One is a tiara, which should ideally be silver. You may even want to sport a long cigarette holder, a la Audrey Hepburn style. You may also want to get your hair done in the iconic ‘pineapple’ do.
