Audrey Hepburn's Duds at Auction

Vintage doesn't get much better than this.

Designer clothes worn on- and off-screen by classic movie star and fashion icon Audrey Hepburn will be auctioned off in London December 8 to benefit the late star's children's charity.

Among the highlights will be a black lace Givenchy cocktail dress from How to Steal a Million and the wedding dress made for her during the filming of Roman Holiday. She cancelled her plans to wed James Hansen and gave the dress to one lucky Italian bride.

Most of the iconic clothing from Holly Golightly's wardrobe in Breakfast at Tiffany's has already been sold, and there are few women who could fit into her dresses, and even fewer who could do them justice. Nonetheless, I doubt they'll have any trouble moving this merchandise.

Her fashion is so timeless I wouldn’t mind owning some of those dresses myself.

I love Audrey Hepburn and each of her films. They are classic and still hold up well.
