On screen and off screen her elegance was complemented by the pearls she wore.

There. were the iconic scenes of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffanys with the sumptuous rows and rows of pearls draped down her back wearing a simple black dress. It could be the most stunning image of beauty in pearls.

In Roman Holiday, Audrey Hepburn as Princess Ann on a self discovery adventure, wore a commanding multiple row necklace with a clasp of Sapphires and Diamonds in the final scene.

In real life, Hepburn always was the most comfortable in a single strand of pearls and pearl stud earrings.

How elegant can a black turtleneck be?

Audrey Hepburn's philosophy will be remembered as,  “elegance is the only beauty that never fades.”
