Audrey Hepburn-Inspired Gift Ideas

Breakfast at Tiffany’s Lipstick

The lipstick Audrey Hepburn wears in Breakfast at Tiffany’s is a gorgeous peachy-pink. Many beauty enthusiasts agree that the exact shade is Revlon “Pink in the Afternoon.” While this particular lipstick can be hard to track down, there are plenty of similar options to choose from. Look for a light shade that’s in-between peach and pink with a formula that has shine to it.

Fun Sleep Mask

A sleep mask will help your gift recipient catch up on some long-awaited rest during the holiday break. This Breakfast At Tiffany’s Inspired Satin Sleep Mask from HandmadeByGreenTea is a reproduction of the memorable eyelash sleep mask in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Just make sure the mask is in a fun print or bright color for the full Holly Golightly effect. Pair it with a pretty pajama set or sleep shirt.

Retro Gold Hoop Earrings

Gold drop-hoop earrings were popular in the 1950s and worn by style icons including Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe and even the original Barbie. This style features a thick hoop that dangles from a gold stud, like the Knotty Chain Link Hoop Drop Earrings. The unique shape of these retro earrings makes them a fun addition to any jewelry lover’s collection.

Classic Black Turtleneck

The black turtleneck is an Audrey closet staple and it’s easy to see why. The styling possibilities are nearly endless. You can wear a dark turtleneck with loafers or ballet flats and slim pants, as Audrey often did, or with pencil skirts or jeans. There’s almost no wrong way to style it. Anyone wishing to emulate Audrey’s style will appreciate a classic black turtleneck, like the Splendid Fitted Turtleneck, as a gift.

Silk Scarf

Audrey has been quoted as saying, “When I wear a silk scarf I never feel so definitely a woman, a beautiful woman.” The Audrey Hepburn fan will adore a silk scarf to tie around their neck, à la Roman Holiday, or around their head with oversize sunglasses as Hepburn does in Charade. One of my favorite silk scarves at the moment is by Italian brand Bastet Torino. You can save 10% off a Bastet Torino scarf with my code: DAHLIA10.

Oversized Sunglasses

Every Audrey Hepburn fan needs a pair of oversized tortoise shell sunglasses. Audrey looked great in large frames, from the large cat-eye sunglasses in Breakfast at Tiffany’s to the round, 1960s shades in Charade. Help your gift recipient protect their eyes in style with a pair of their own. My favorite sunglasses are from Parafina, an eco-friendly brand that makes eyewear from recycled materials; the Colina style is similar to styles Audrey wore.

A Pair of Long Gloves

From the long black gloves worn with Givenchy in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, to the white gloves that accented high fashion looks in Funny Face, Sabrina and Charade, gloves were a star accessory in Audrey’s films. Long gloves dress up an evening look and help bare arms stay warm during colder months. You can find long vintage gloves at vintage shops and antique malls or on Etsy or Ebay. It may be helpful to know the glove size your gift recipient wears. I wear a small, or 7 1/2; extra small hands may do better with a size 6 1/2 or 7. Alternately, you can opt for a modern pair that’s “one size fits most.”

Audrey Hepburn Style Book

Audrey Style book by Pamela Clarke Keogh - Audrey Hepburn-inspired gift idea

Countless books have been written about Audrey’s style because her look is so timeless. I was fortunate to find a hardback copy of Audrey Style by Pamela Clarke Keogh at an estate sale. It’s filled with beautiful images of Audrey I’d never seen before in both black-and-white and color. The book chronicles her life and career, sharing insights into her relationships and of course, her fashion choices. There’s even a small section on how to do different Audrey Hepburn makeup looks. Any book about the movie star’s style would make a wonderful gift for the Audrey Hepburn fan.

Audrey Hepburn Film Poster

Is your gift recipient in need of home decor? A print or poster featuring their favorite Audrey film is just the thing to add interest to an empty wall. This Breakfast at Tiffany’s Minimalist Alternative Movie Print & Poster from VisionaryLine would look great over a bar cart, in a living room or even in a bathroom.

Vintage Jewelry

Pearls never go out of fashion. A multi-strand pearl necklace can dress up a little black dress for New Year’s Eve or any special occasion. I’ve found a lot of nice vintage costume jewelry at estate sales for a great deal. There are also infinite options on Etsy and Ebay. Attach a sparkly brooch to the middle of a pearl necklace to replicate the piece Audrey wears in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
