Audrey Hepburn played some pretty fashionable roles in her lifetime. And we would be friends with each and every one of them (if even just to borrow their clothes). Her role in Breakfast at Tiffany’s gave life to the LBD and she set the tone for how to vacation in Roman Holiday. In honor of her birthday, we recreated her most memorable on-screen outfits. Take a peek, then make each look your own.

For her Hollywood debut, Audrey played a runaway princess exploring Rome. Her belted midi skirt, crisp button-front, and gladiator sandals make a timeless combination that still works today. Next time you’re packing for a trip, look to her outfit as the ultimate vacation inspo.

The LBD has been a wardrobe must since the film’s premiere. For a distinctively Holly Golightly feel, pick a body-skimming style that falls just below the knee. Then accessorize with trendy pointed-toe kitten heels and layered strands of pearls. We also recommend keeping one of Holly’s iconic eyemasks on hand. Beauty sleep is key.

This may have been Audrey Hepburn’s most glamorous role. All of Jo Stockton’s looks are not only still relevant today, but iconic. Our final ode to Audrey is her red, strapless Givenchy gown. In this scene we are taught the power of head-to-toe monochrome dressing and how to descend a staircase with grace and flair.
