She was always so stylish. In honor of what would have been Audrey Hepburn’s 90th birthday, we decided to put together a gallery of some of her most iconic looks, in no particular order. It’s safe to say that Audrey still inspires women all over the world today, and her most well-known looks still influence the women of Hollywood. Check out our gallery below to see all the styles for yourself.

1 of 20

She Did It All

Audrey was an actress, model, dancer, and humanitarian. She did a lot of amazing activism work in addition to the acting roles she took on.

Memorable

And while she probably didn’t want to just be remembered for her looks, it can’t be denied that she had some very memorable ones – like her Breakfast at Tiffany’s outfit, which is often recreated for Halloween costumes and photo shoots.

Uncanny

Audrey had an uncanny ability to rock any look she donned, like this one where she mixed a feminine outfit with an athletic setting.

Ideal

Even when she was dressed down, Audrey stunned. In 1954, fashion photographer Cecil Beaton said Audrey was the “public embodiment of our new feminine ideal” in Vogue.

Best Dressed

Audrey was even added to the International Best Dressed List in 1961.

6 of 20

Simple

Audrey’s style is often described as “minimalistic” — lots of black, with simple silhouettes and accessories.

7 of 20

Getting Wild

But it wasn’t totally out of the question for her to take on a more wild outfit for a role. After all, she was a successful actress for many years.

Classy

For the most part, though, Audrey’s looks can be described with one word — classic. Whether she was in a dress or trousers, she somehow always looked refined.

That Hair Tho

Her short locks also added to Audrey’s iconic status. To this day, longer hair on women tends to be the norm, but Audrey wasn’t afraid to break boundaries in that area of style.

The Brows

And the brows? Forget about it. A lot of women would kill to the have the full, dark brows Audrey rocked in so many photographs.

Standing Out

Even when she wore more outlandish outfits, Audrey’s striking face always stood out.

Most Beautiful

In 2004, Audrey was named the “most beautiful woman of all time” and “most beautiful woman of the 20th century” by two different polls.

Stunner

Not surprisingly, Audrey stunned in both her real-life wedding dresses and ones she had to wear for movie roles.

14 of 20

Doing Good

However, as aforementioned, Audrey was so much more than an actress. She also did advocacy work, like when she was appointed a Goodwill Ambassador of UNICEF.

15 of 20

Recognition

Audrey was later awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in recognition of her work with the organization. Not bad!

16 of 20

Special

In particular, Audrey shared a special relationship with designer Givenchy, who designed her black dress in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and almost her whole wardrobe in How to Steal a Million.

Fun

Her How to Steal a Million looks are especially fun, though they don’t always get the attention that her Breakfast outfit does.

18 of 20

So Real

Above all, Audrey always appeared very “real” — women related to her look, and it seemed more attainable than that of some other big names of the day like Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Taylor.

Goodbye

Sadly, the actress passed away in her sleep in 1993 at her home. She was just 63 years old.

Authentic

Audrey is remembered for much more than just her looks, but it’s still fun to look back at her most iconic outfits. No matter what she was wearing, she was always authentically Audrey.
