Attention Audrey Hepburn fans, Breakfast at Tiffany's fans, and well... fashion fans. Here's your chance to own an icon.

Back in July, Sarah told us that the little black dress worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's would be auctioned off at Christie's auction house in London. Well, the time has come at last. Next week, the dress will go up on the auction black. The gown, credited with making the "little black dress" a wardrobe staple, was designed by Hubert de Givenchy and worn by Hepburn in the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's.

You can see more of the dress in a special article in this month's Harper's Bazaar magazine, worn by Natalie Portman. The dress is expected to sell for a relatively modest 70,000 pounds, which is about $136,000.
