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 like a lady 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.

Roman Holiday
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.

Sabrina
As the character of Sabrina, she charmed her audience in stylish, ladylike looks – from ball gowns to sailing outfits – that she brought back from Paris. This summer, take her cues and pair tailored plaid pieces with espadrilles for a touch of French-girl chic.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s
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.
