Look at her just being herself in this screen test from 1953...the one that landed her the role in Roman Holiday.
In considering how to emulate her look, I have chosen a small wardrobe of vintage items that seem to really express the style of Audrey Hepburn:

1. A perfect Little Black Dress
You know the inspiration, and how perfect can you get, both Givenchy dress and characterful woman?

2. While we're at it, fabulous sunglasses
Make them big, and black.

3. A neat and high quality handbag

4. A statement hat
Just google "Audrey Hepburn hat" images...wow.

5. Flats
How else to do that modern dance in Funny Face?

6. A black turtleneck
Ditto

7. A gorgeous evening gown
Here you have a number of inspiring images to choose from, many by Givenchy, all completely elegant.

8. And you'll need long gloves to wear with that gown

9. A wonderful quality 60s suit
Charade features a number of Givenchy suits and coats in strong colors and perfect cuts.

10. Some awe-inspiring jewelry
Audrey's regal side showed (for the first of many times) in Roman Holiday.

11. A white shirt and capris
Keep it classic and you will never be out of style, just as Audrey always seems absolutely perfect.

I think you're right that what really made her so strikingly beautiful was her heart. She just glowed from the inside-out, and she truly made her life count for something.
I couldn't put it better Val.
Adorable..just adorable.......
Great post and yes, its not very often that celebrity, beauty and a kind and humble soul combine so well. She was a star in every sense.
AWESOME AWESOME blog entry! I'm a huge fan of Audrey as a woman and her style. I'm a new follower of your blog. I love what you have done here. I adore vintage clothes and from time to time blog about my finds along with my other "vintage pursuits". I will definitely back! Annmarie
