Audrey Hepburn, one of the world's most clichéd fashion and film icons in history. And if you don't know who she is, shame on you. Although she was modest with her acting skills, it's well known that she was one of the world's most successful, famous actresses of all time. She has also been featured in the International Best Dressed Hall of Fame, which is an honour for anyone. Plus, as if she couldn't be more perfect, she trained as a ballet dancer whilst living in three different countries (Belgium, England and the Netherlands), that's what I call a very dedicated multi-tasker.
One of her most famous movies, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, although it doesn’t have the most inspiring story line, definitetly sums up Audrey’s divine fashion to a tea. The glamorous alter-ego ‘Holly Golightly’ is a classy, sophisticated, upper class lady with fashion sense sent for the Gods. And it's one of my dreams to re-create that scene, dressed just like her eating breakfast in front of Tiffany's!
Anyway, Audrey is definitely my number one role model. Her success refused to phase her and close sources said she still remained sweet and true to herself throughout her whole career. Although she had four ‘loves-of-her-lives’, she remained faithful and loyal and raised her two sons to perfection. She never let fame get to her and stayed humble, never bragging about her talents. Not only did she live a hard life, but she came through it with a positive attitude that makes me love her even more. I didn't live the WWII, and I'm still being negative. She inspires me to be better everyday, even if she isn't here, even if I didn't know her.
The lessons we should take from Audrey, are to dream big. She fulfilled all her dreams, raised a family and although her life came to a tragic end, it seemed she lived it to the fullest. With Audrey watching over our shoulders, we should learn lessons from her life and take them in our stride. We should all strive to be better, to be someone like her. We all should aim to be a classy, humble and kind human being like she was.
We thank you Audrey, for inspiring us all!
