Adult Breakfast at Tiffany's Holly Golightly Fancy Dress Costume

Product Information

This stunning retro outfit adds eye-turning class to any event, but is especially perfect for outdoor occasions, such as high-tea, garden weddings, or a picnic lunch date! The orange coat has four statement buttons and is fitted at the waist, with tie details in the back. Even though this outfit as not as famous as some of Holly Golightly’s other costumes, yet it is just as much of eye turner, so here it is! She is eating breakfast but clearly wearing a sophisticated evening gown while not looking at all dishevelled. Audrey Hepburn’s iconic costumes in Breakfast at Tiffanys includes some of the memorable looks from vintage fashion that are still fashionable today.

It helped, of course, that Givenchy knew a canny marketing opportunity when he saw one and had been building a fruitful relationship with Hepburn since she borrowed a number of dresses for her turn in Sabrina in 1954. Although the designer is not known, most credit its general concept to Breakfast at Tiffany’s costume designer Edith Head. She has learned to accessorise in a way that tricks her companions into believing her to be a woman of great style without inviting questions about wealth. The comedic-yet-tragic story follows the transformation of Holly Golightly (played by Audrey Hepburn) from Texan wild child to a refined and polished wannabe-socialite– a title she hopes to achieve through questionable means. Audrey Hepburn’s character Holly Golightly is wearing a tan sweater, fitted dark blue slacks, with black ballet slippers and black socks.Audrey Hepburn’s character Holly Golightly is wearing an brown cardigan with a black sweater dress underneath, and her oversized Oliver Goldsmith sunglasses!

Its influence on popular culture, the relationship between celebrities and designers and the starting point it has given countless of wardrobe departments since its 1961 release can’t be overstated. Yet, while we have Givenchy to thank for placing the LBD firmly at the centre of a woman’s eveningwear wardrobe, the work of costume designer Edith Head is often unfairly dismissed. The older man reveals, to Paul’s shock, that Holly's real name is Lula Mae Barnes and that she is still married to him! Paul is mystified by Holly’s unusual lifestyle and, when Holly pairs her black dress with a wide-brimmed hat and over-sized sunglasses, her look only heightens her enigmatic allure.

While based on a novella by the great Truman Capote, the enduring memory of the cinematic version of Breakfast at Tiffany’s is not one of pacy story and Oscar-winning acting (although it did receive five nominations) but one of little black dresses, pearls and Audrey Hepburn’s intricately coiffed up-dos. Audrey Hepburn crawls out of her window onto the balcony and scales up to the apartment above and tumbles in, waking up Paul. This hot pink silk cocktail dress is dotted with fan-shaped green rhinestones and a wide pink ribbon belt, tied in an over-sized bow. Hubert De Givenchy (as in the founder of Givenchy, and also known for creating the little black dress) designed the outfits for Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast At Tiffany's, including her legendary black dress in the opening scenes.

Featuring a similar sleeveless, scoop neck design to the first, this one ends slightly above the knee with a feathered hem and is made from silk (rather than the first’s satin). The couple have been out partying but her happiness is snuffed out when she reads a telegram informing her that her beloved brother Fred was killed in a Jeep accident while serving in the war.
