Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961, dir. Blake Edwards) (via)
“The ragbag colors of her boy’s hair, tawny streaks, strands of albino-blonde and yellow, caught the light. It was a warm evening, nearly summer, and she wore a slim cool black dress, black sandals, a pearl choker. For all her chic thinness, she had an almost breakfast-cereal air of health, a soap and lemon cleanliness, a rough pink darkening the cheeks. Her mouth was large, her nose upturned. A pair of dark glasses blotted out her eyes. It was a face beyond childhood, yet this side of belonging to a woman. I thought her anywhere between sixteen and thirty.”
-Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1958)
I apparently remind him of Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
