What did Audrey Hepburn wear in Two for the Road 1967?
In Two for the Road, Audrey Hepburn wears an incredibly diverse wardrobe of thirty outfits, which mirrors the 1960s trend of opposites that embraced both sophisticated designs inspired from the 50’s to bold, trendy (and often shocking) designs of the new generation.
Her amazing wardrobe showcases these polar opposite looks, which includes her elegant outfits (like her trench coat outfit), and edgy outfits (like her vinyl jacket and pants).
For Audrey Hepburn’s outfits that fall into the trailblazing 1960 style category, she embraces bright colors, geometric designs, and wears experimental materials and synthetic fabrics.
For shoes, Audrey Hepburn wears a variety of styles, again mirroring the bi-polar 1960s fashion trend. She wears the 1950s inspired ballet flats in black and white, which she pairs with her casual and beach outfits, and for her daring looks, she chooses black shiny gogo style boots and square toed kitten pumps.
What fashion accessories did Audrey Hepburn use to elevate her looks? For her early 1960s sophisticated looks, she opted to go without, for true understated elegance. Her later modern 1960s looks, she chose bold designs, bright colors, and striking geometric shapes. One of her evening outfits had bright neon colored earrings in different colors! Talk about modern 1960s style!
Who designed the clothes for Two for the Road 1967?
Dozens of hottest 1960s designers collaborated to design Audrey Hepburn’s outfits in Two for the Road, with a number of them belonging to the Mod and Swinging London fashion, the epicenter of the youth-driven cultural revolution. It was a shocking new era where fashion trends actually come from London vs France!
This is one of the rare films where Hubert de Givenchy didn’t design Audrey Hepburn’s wardrobe, as the movie director wanted a hip and modern air that would appeal to the younger audiences. At first Audrey Hepburn balked at the idea, but then agreed that it’s always good to try new things!
This unique line-up of designers also helps explain the crazy extreme range of style diversity in Audrey Hepburn’s wardrobe in Two for the Road, as wears all things from the high-fashion and daring in the world of 1960s style.
Hang onto your seat and get ready for an epic series of cinematic flash forward and flashbacks as we take you through each and every incredible look in this Audrey Hepburn classic.
