The Dress!
Although Edith Head won an Oscar for Best Costumes designed for Sabrina, most of Hepburn's outfits were created by Hubert de Givenchy and chosen by the star herself. Edith Head refused to be shown alongside Givenchy in the credits, so she was given credit for the costumes, although the Academy's votes were obviously for Hepburn's attire. Edith Head did not refuse the Oscar. The film began a life-long association between Givenchy and Hepburn (it has been reported that when Hepburn called on Givenchy for the first time in Paris, he assumed that it was Katharine Hepburn in his salon.)
Sabrina is a 1954 film directed by Billy Wilder, adapted for the screen by Wilder, Samuel A. Taylor, and Ernest Lehman from Taylor's play Sabrina Fair (in the UK, the movie has the title Sabrina Fair). It stars Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn, and William Holden.

Just watched the movie...LOVED that dress (and all her others too). Total fashion swoon. *sigh* :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a big Hepburn fan and love her style - bit bad of that Edith Head. Looking at your list of movies, you've got some good picks there. under 'H' or 'A', no Anthony Hopkins! Surprised!
