AC/DC and Audrey Hepburn together!

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Celebrities with Style

A new Gap commercial stars Audrey Hepburn, albeit a scene from the 1957 film "Funny Face," dancing along to AC/DC's "Back in Black." It was quite a sight to see Hepburn, the paramount of classic style, prancing around to the rock chords of AC/DC.

After noticing who exactly it was in the ad, I wondered why Hepburn isn't used more often in commercials. And come to find out, this is the first time in 12 years that a Hepburn film clip has been authorized to endorse a product (PSFK.com).

The commercial is promoting Gap's new skinny black pant line. They've created quite an array of skinny black pants; the flagship of the line is the "Audrey Hepburn twill cropped pant."

The look can definitely be pulled off, but beware, the skinny black pant is a potential Stylefoul if you don't have Hepburn's figure.

MovieStyle: Funny Face

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style

If you liked the high-fashion world in The Devil Wears Prada, you should check out Audrey Hepburn's 1957 film, Funny Face. Granted, it's a much tamer vision of the world of fashion than the one we saw with Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, but that's part of this classic film's charm. Funny Face follows the young ingenue Jo Stockton (Hepburn) as she travels to Paris to model high-end fashions for the famous photographer Dick Avery, played by Fred Astaire. If you have a soft spot for Gershwin, 1950s Paris, and for vintage Givenchy clothes, Funny Face is the film for you.
