This photograph of Audrey Hepburn from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” is probably one of the most iconic pictures of fashion photography. The photo portrays the fashion icon wearing a classy black dress which has added accessories to match the long gown in the form of a pearl choker, a foot long cigarette holder, black opera gloves and a small tiara.

The photo is taken in black and white and is contrasted with the black background, but the background has a certain light effect on it which looks like a light is being portrayed on to her. She is looking right at the viewer with the foot long cigarette holder in her mouth. Her one arm is down by her side while the other is crossed along her body to reach the other one. Her hips are swayed towards one side and it creates an intense shape of her body, making her look like an hour glass.

The little black dress attained such iconic fame that it became an essential piece of clothing for a woman's wardrobe. She made this dress into something that everyday women wanted and after this picture was released it became a popular dress which is still used today for parties and other events. This picture creates a sense of beauty, elegance and grace. She makes something so simple look so elegant and magnificent. This picture stands to show how one person can cause an effect on so many people and it also represents the elegance this one person can contain and show by the capture of one photograph. “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” was filmed over 50 years ago but still Audrey Hepburn captures people’s attention with her little black dress.
