Spotted! The Eternally Elegant Audrey Hepburn in Homes
The Hollywood star's classic style adds a sophisticated, feminine touch to any room
Before May 4th became Star Wars Day, the day marked the birthdate of a girl born in 1929 who would grow up to be a style icon for generations. Audrey Hepburn, actress, model, dancer and humanitarian brought the little black dress to the big screen – and the world’s collective consciousness – in Breakfast at Tiffany‘s and the Breton striped shirt in Funny Face, and popularised the slim-legged capri pants and ballet flats combination. Her image continues to inspire fashionistas and, it seems, their interiors. But she wasn’t just a pretty face and a stylish dresser; she was also a wise lady with a big heart. So – together with Star Wars Day – let’s celebrate Audrey Hepburn on May 4th.

“I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it’s the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It’s probably the most important thing in a person.”

“It’s that wonderful old-fashioned idea that others come first and you come second. This was the whole ethic by which I was brought up. Others matter more than you do, so don’t fuss, dear; get on with it.”
