Hepburn exuded confidence and class with her signature style, so we just had to put together the ultimate guide to nailing her elegant vibe this Halloween.

Alley Holly in ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’
Who could forget Blair Waldorf's dream sequence as Holly Golightly in the rain? Put your own stamp on this Breakfast at Tiffany's scene by pairing a classic trench coat with an orange tabby cat and pigtails. Points for a real kitty.
➥ Shop the trench, heels, and plushie.
Eliza Doolittle in ‘My Fair Lady’
Up for a challenge? This costume from My Fair Lady is perfect for those who don't mind a little DIY. We think the easiest way to capture Hepburn's Eliza Doolittle is by adding some striped ribbon to a white lace dress. Try weaving some into the hat for an even more authentic look!
➥ Shop the dress, hat, and ribbon.
Bedtime Holly Costume
There's more than one way to go as Holly Golightly this Halloween. Take cues from Reese Witherspoon's Big Little Lies character, Madeleine Mackenzie, with this pajama costume straight out of Breakfast at Tiffany's.
You'll just need an oversized tuxedo shirt, an eye mask, and a pair of tassel earrings. Add black leggings for a slightly more modest look. We also found a three-piece set that lets you scoop up everything at once.
➥ Shop the shirt, eye mask, and earrings.
Holly Golightly in ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’
Go classic Audrey in this outfit inspired by the iconic Breakfast at Tiffany's opening scene. Although it's not exactly groundbreaking as a Halloween costume, you can't go wrong with the iconic combo (especially for last-minute invites).
Plus, it's easy to incorporate things that are already in your closet! Just grab a little black dress, some pearls, and cat-eye sunglasses, then top it all off with a sparkly tiara.
➥ Shop the dress, sunglasses, necklace, and tiara.

Jo Stockton in ‘Funny Face’
Audrey Hepburn's character in Funny Face, Jo Stockton, is perfect for the person who loves wearing head-to-toe black. Transform your everyday uniform into the amateur-philosopher-turned-fashion model by adding a sharp cat-eye and a swept-back ponytail. Plus, it'll give you an excuse to go for those bangs you've been thinking about.
➥ Shop the turtleneck, pants, loafers, and eyeliner.
Princess Anne in ‘Roman Holiday’
Vespas, Italy, and a royal on the run — what's not to love about Roman Holiday? Recreate the role that earned Audrey Hepburn an Oscar by pairing a short-sleeve white button-down, an A-line midi skirt, and a scarf tied around your neck.
This costume is not only adorable, but it also uses pieces that can be worn again and again. Bonus points if you can track down a scooter.

Day-Out Holly in ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’
Breakfast at Tiffany's has no lack of Halloween costume inspo. This dress is nearly identical to Holly Golightly’s out-and-about dress, right down to the bow. Complete the look with oversized sunnies and a large black hat before running off to get the “weather report” from Sally Tomato.
