▲Hepburn kept a timeless grace about her because she was truly graceful in her actions.

▲By cinching in your waist, you can manipulate any silhouette with just the help of a belt.

▲Some call it micro fringe, others call them baby bangs, but either way they're a quintessentially Hepburn hairstyle.

▲Hepburn hardly wore a dress without some sort of belt or sash or cinch to add some shape.

▲What could otherwise be a dress you run to the grocery store in suddenly becomes an elegant outfit fit for a classy evening.

▲It's okay if that means literally!

▲While the style hasn't quite come back, there's a good chance it, like all of her other looks, will resurface.

▲A standout lip color has the power to bring any ensemble from casual to chic.

▲Hepburn was an undeniable queen of hats, which is a great accessory for anyone with bangs because it deals with the mass of your hair while letting your most signature style show.

▲Hepburn was particularly good at taking traditionally men's clothes, like this plaid blazer and bow-tie, and mixing her own feminine charm into them.

▲And it doesn't have to be hats...

▲She tested out all lengths, sometimes going as short as possible, other times letting them reach her eyebrows, but they were iconic every time. They're also on-trend again!

▲That's how you know the bangs were certainly her signature look.

▲That entails never underestimating the power of a good, tailored jacket.

▲Or, you know, wear a scarf actually around your neck.

▲They don't have to be elbow-length!

▲Hepburn had quite the elegant neck and loved wearing things that accentuated it. She also taught us that stripes should be treated as a neutral, opening up a whole new realm of playfulness in wardrobes around the world.

▲Her high collars came in all sorts of different styles and materials, but this fur fold-over was a certain standout.

▲Her iconic 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' black dress has been a Halloween staple for years, and it's a foolproof option for a night out.

▲She never went out of style.

▲You can even throw a belt on over a jacket!

▲The most stylish thing about her was the way she took charge of her own image, whether that was chopping off her very long locks or adding a playfulness to the costumes she was given on set.

▲Whether it’s a full-skirted or body-hugging number, crafting your shape is easier than you think.

▲Hepburn also showed us that turtlenecks work as thin layers or heavier winter wear.

▲Hepburn's enormous shades were great for going incognito, but they were also a glamorous addition to otherwise simple outfits.

▲The actress favored skinny ankle-cropped pants, showing just a bit of skin.

▲Sometimes they were her only pop of color that wasn't black, which is also a great use for them.

▲Whether it was Holly Golightly's large, tortoiseshell frames with off-green lenses in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' or the bug-eyed, white-rimmed shade in 'Two for the Road,' the glasses are a staple.

▲She famously loved wearing scarves around her neck, particularly on collared shirts as a sort of tie.

▲It's simultaneously sleek and classy, and when you've got a smile like that, you don't really need a bright outfit anyway!

▲Hepburn herself was trying on a trendy hairstyle that made history, but she gave it a timeless feel with just the right height.

▲The ankle-crop is flattering for all figures, as it elongates the legs and pairs well with all kinds of shoes, from flats and sneakers to kitten heels.

While most stars who tried out the 'do swept their bangs to the side, Hepburn famously wore short bangs.

▲

Because she often opted for more simple attire, akin to the fashionable First Lady of the time, Hepburn loved to swipe on a bright red lipstick to liven up her minimalist accessories and makeup.

▲

From the turtleneck to the penny loafers, this look is clearly what Hepburn felt comfortable in.
