Wedding trend: My fair lady

Danielle Meloney

19 August 2011

No matter the age, if you mention the name Audrey Hepburn to a woman, she is bound to know at least one of her films. Remembered for being quite the fashionista, Audrey was the woman who made the little black dress a wardrobe essential. For decades, women have attempted to capture her elegance and style when choosing their wedding gowns.

Audrey Hepburn’s iconic film My Fair Lady was testament to the fact that any girl can grow up to become a beautiful, elegant woman of society. This wedding trend is all about timeless silhouettes, lace and delicate beading. Since Audrey valued simplicity, the phrase “less is more” applies to this wedding trend.

To help you channel Audrey’s My Fair Lady look, we have put together a few bits and pieces to get you started.

THE DRESS
Whether you choose a full ball gown, a mermaid silhouette or even a straight dress with a train, Audrey Hepburn-esque wedding dresses tend to be simple yet classic. We love this amazing Pergamo dress that just screams elegance!

THE SHOES
What outfit is complete without an amazing pair of shoes? Some gorgeous stilettos that complement your accessories are sure to make you look and feel fantastic. We love these gunmetal and ivory satin Siren heels.

THE ACCESSORIES
A simple beaded clutch is great for stashing that emergency lipstick. Our pick is this Fletcher & Grace $75 clutch, which just radiates class and style.

THE JEWELLERY
Avoid jewellery that is too over-the-top. Instead, opt for simple pieces that embellish your outfit with ease. This vintage-inspired pearl and crystal necklace, $235, by Fletcher & Grace, has just enough pearl and sparkle to stand out.

THE MAKEUP
Audrey was known for her use of eye makeup. Just remember the golden rule: if you do up your eyes, go with nude lips, but if you go with bright lip colour, make sure you have simple eye makeup. If you are going for Audrey’s look, Christian Dior’s Diorshow Mascara for $52 will provide the dramatic effect you’re after.
