Adult Breakfast at Tiffany's Holly Golightly Fancy Dress Costume

Product Information

Audrey Hepburn crawls out of her window onto the balcony and scales up to the apartment above and tumbles in, waking up Paul. Perhaps the most important reference of all, however, came in 2017 when Tiffany’s opened a cafe in the newly refurbished home goods department of its Fifth Avenue flagship.

Much of the fashion legacy of Breakfast at Tiffany’s centres around that opening black dress - with it frequently voted among the most iconic images of 20th Century cinema.However, not only does the dress look great, it also plays an important role in establishing Holly Golightly’s character.

The older man reveals, to Paul’s shock, that Holly's real name is Lula Mae Barnes and that she is still married to him! The lavender earplugs are quite the quintessential 1960s fashion accessory for the style icon, which continues to be copied to this day by costume makers around the world trying to recreate Holly Golightly’s charming Sleep Costume! Its influence on popular culture, the relationship between celebrities and designers and the starting point it has given countless of wardrobe departments since its 1961 release can’t be overstated. Although this is the same little black cocktail dress that she wore earlier, since her glam 1960s fashion accessories make it appear to be a completely different outfit, one would never know, so we’re categorizing this as a different outfit! She is eating breakfast but clearly wearing a sophisticated evening gown while not looking at all dishevelled.Holly Golightly gasps in surprise when a chubby boy with thick-framed glasses arrives, telling Paul Varjak that he’s one of the richest singles in the country! In that film, despite most of Hepburn’s Parisian ensembles having been designed by Givenchy and chosen by the actress, because they were created in Head’s costume department she received the Oscar and Givenchy went completely uncredited. The Breakfast at Tiffany's pajama scene opens with Audrey Hepburn’s character Holly Golightly being jarred awake by her door buzzer and her tabby purring.
