HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUDREY: CELEBRATING A FASHION LEGEND!

Audrey Hepburn was more than a movie star - she was a muse, a humanitarian, and a true style icon. As we celebrate her birthday this month, we’re paying tribute to the woman who gave the world timeless elegance, effortless grace, and some of the most iconic fashion moments in history.

From her breakout role in Roman Holiday to the unforgettable black dress in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Audrey’s look was instantly recognisable: simple, classic, feminine - and always refined. Her influence on fashion hasn’t faded. In fact, it’s stronger than ever.  

At Shush, we’re honouring Audrey’s legacy with a curated selection of Hepburn-inspired pieces - from chic dresses to vintage scarves and statement jewellery - so you can channel your own inner Audrey, sustainably.

A STAR IS BORN: THE STYLE STORY OF AUDREY HEPBURN

Audrey’s rise to fame in the 1950s came hand-in-hand with her rise as a fashion muse. With her gamine frame, expressive eyes, and poised charm, she captured the imagination of designers and directors alike. Her partnership with Hubert de Givenchy would become one of the most celebrated creative collaborations in fashion history - he designed her costumes for Sabrina, Funny Face, and Breakfast at Tiffany’s, while she became his lifelong muse.

Other designers and brands associated with Audrey’s signature look include Ferragamo (for those classic ballet flats), Cartier (for her dainty jewellery), and Hermès (for the scarves she knotted so effortlessly). But her real talent was in making even the simplest outfit feel special — a white shirt, black trousers, and flats could look like haute couture when worn by Audrey.

THE LITTLE BLACK DRESS AND OTHER AUDREY-INSPIRED FASHION FINDS

No tribute to Audrey would be complete without the *little black dress*. At Shush, we’ve sourced a stunning collection of preloved black dresses that nod to Audrey’s most famous look — think clean silhouettes, elegant necklines, and timeless tailoring.

Whether you’re after a classic shift, a nipped-in waist, or a touch of vintage sparkle, we’ve got a dress that channels her chic simplicity perfect for a party, dinner date, or even just a moment of everyday glamour.  

SILK SCARVES: THE CHERRY ON TOP OF AUDREY'S LOOK

Audrey had a special knack for elevating even the most basic outfit — and the silk scarf was her secret weapon. Tied under the chin, knotted at the neck, or wrapped around a ponytail, scarves gave her a dose of colour and classic femininity.  

At Shush, we’ve handpicked a beautiful range of preloved designer scarves, including vintage Hermès and Pucci styles, in Audrey-esque patterns and shades. They're perfect for adding a touch of retro charm to your wardrobe - and make thoughtful gifts too.

VINTAGE JEWELS: THE HEPBURN TOUCH

Audrey’s jewellery was never flashy but it was always fabulous. Pearl bracelets, drop earrings, and elegant belts add that finishing touch to her understated glamour.  

Our jewellery edit is filled with vintage-inspired treasures that Audrey herself would have adored. From classic pearl pieces to delicate gold finds and mid-century brooches, you’ll find something here that feels both timeless and individual - just like Audrey.
