The Hepburn Look - Pearls and a Hat

The Hepburn Look

A pearl necklace is always a great fashion accessory for a young lady - particularly if they need to dress up a little fancy for a business meeting or a formal dinner. The Audrey Hepburn look can be easily achieved by pairing a single strand pearl necklace with a pretty hat and matching gloves.

The Audrey Hepburn look became popular after the actress starred in the incredibly popular film “Breakfast At Tiffany’s” in which she wore a ‘little black dress’ and a triple strand pearl necklace. Her upswept hairdo, perfect makeup and chic appearance became the ideal women all over the world wanted.

Today, freshwater pearl necklaces are affordable enough for anyone to get the Hepburn look. You can go simple with a delicate single strand, or amp up your look with the full triple pearl strand necklace made of large freshwater pearls.

If your hair is short, you’re all set to play up the Audrey look . If it’s chin length, slick it back behind your ears and hold in place with flat barrettes or bobby pins. Longer hair can be piled up on your head and secured with a clip, and don’t forget to pouf it up! You can anchor the hairdo with a large clasp made of freshwater pearls for the classic Tiffany look.

Your makeup should be perfect - use loose powder to create the flawless skin look, then a bright lipstick for a cupid bow mouth. Widen your eyes with judicious use of eyeliner, and lengthen your lashes with dark mascara. Finish by blushing the apples of your cheeks and hanging pearl earrings from your earlobes for true Audrey Hepburn fashion.

You don’t have to go broke to look movie star fabulous. Freshwater pearl jewelry is now attainable for almost any woman, and you can mix and match pieces to fit your mood and desired look!
