Ms. Hepburn once said, “If you obey all of the rules, you miss all of the fun,” and her style definitely reflected that. Skirts and dresses? Not for her. Get her menswear-inspired look with a so-right-now tailored two-piece set.

Remember when she said, “Big girls need big diamonds”? I-con-ic. This glamour queen’s style involved a lot of bling (obviously). Get her old Hollywood look in a rich gown and red lip at your next special event. Finish the ensemble with chandelier earrings and a faux-mink stole for true Elizabeth Taylor vibes.
