Audrey Hepburn understood the art of individual styling, infusing even the most basic pieces with a natural elegance.

At the 26th Academy Awards, the five-time Best Actress nominee won for her role in Roman Holiday, appearing in an altered version of the floral dress she wore in the film's final scene.
Originally designed by Edith Head, the dress was later modified by Hubert de Givenchy for the Oscars. The designer removed the sleeves and added a wide, Sabrina-style neckline.
One of Audrey Hepburn's most stunning designs was the black and white Hubert de Givenchy evening gown, often referred to as the "Inez de Castro gown," which the actress wore in the film Sabrina. - Photo: InStyle

If there was ever a "little black dress" that changed the course of fashion, it was the design Audrey Hepburn wore in the opening scene of Sabrina .
Audrey Hepburn didn't really like the original design and asked designer Hubert de Givenchy to adjust the neckline to cover her collarbone.
The neckline of the dress, originally called décolleté bateau (boat neckline), has since become widely known as décolleté Sabrina, a testament to Hepburn's influence on design language.
