Audrey Hepburn's Dress Under The Hammer. Swoon!


Right- if anyone out there has a spare £60,000 can you please, please PLEASE give it to me. I actually need this dress.

THE iconic dress that Audrey Hepburn wore to collect her Academy Award in 1954 is going up for Auction. This dress was originally a costume designed by Edith Head for 'Roman Holiday' but Hepburn had it altered/ Givenchy-fied, to dazzling effect, to wear to the Oscars. After winning her best Actress award she called this her 'lucky dress'. It has since been stored at the bottom of a family friend's wardrobe.

Time has come though for the world to see this work of art. Kerry Taylor Auctions are expecting the dress to reach between £40,000 and £60,000; I got to say if i had the money i would definitely buy it.

This dress also won Edith Head an Oscar for Best Costume Design. There is no doubt that this dress is a gorgeous piece of film history.
