Fashion-wise, everyone loves the Breakfast at Tiffany's iconic pearls, LBD, and opera glove ensemble... right? Everyone, that is, except for those of us who found the getup a bit too demure and were much more interested in the modish, slightly boho styles Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) sports for the rest of the movie: wayfarers, a mink bucket hat paired with a funky orange frock coat, and a one shoulder, floor-length sheath wrap that could have easily been interpreted on a Halston runway. What's always been interesting is that Holly is much more daring, risque, and naughty than the elegant, if not a bit boring outfit she's most remembered for implies (in Truman Capote's book, which the movie is based on, she's actually a call girl, a fact director Blake Edwards hush-hushed for gentler audiences). Check out the slideshow for a look at the Holly probably a very few of us most love, along with some pieces that channel her inimitable, less lauded style!
