I am in love with Audrey Hepburn. How to Steal a Million was released in 1966. It's about a heist pulled by Audrey Hepburn's character Nicole, and a burglar she just met, to steal back her father's sculpture from a museum before experts discover its in-authenticity. The story takes place in Paris, France. The costume designer was Hubert de Givenchy.

Audrey always looks elegant, and I loved most of the outfits she wore in this show. To start off, the first outfit we see her in is a weird helmet hat and funky sunglasses, but if you look at it all together, it looks kinda nice. In another outfit she wears similar oversized sunglasses, although they are more square.

To the left, she's wearing a pillbox hat with a white-lapel nautical navy suit. She wears white gloves and belts a lot, which I love, and the 3/4 sleeves. You can't tell in the picture to the right, but her earrings when she wears the green outfit (while she's on her date) are gorgeous. She wears a similar outfit that's yellow, with a white belt and more of a collar. It looks more expensive and a little more professional.
Then there's her black lace dress with a sort of jacket and a lace eye mask. It goes well with the scene because she is about to propose the heist and is trying to be secretive. She tells him not to use her real name.
I love how on her left hand you can still see her wearing a little white glove. She is also wearing big round diamond earrings and silver glittery eye-shadow.
The men all wear suits and ties. Nicole's father, when he first appears, is in a red suit coat. I think it shows how daring he is to paint and sell forged artwork.

He is addicted to it, whether it's for the excitement or adventure or whatever reason, he is bold enough to keep selling his own forged van Gogh's. Nicole's family also has a butler, who always appears in a yellow vest uniform.
Nicole also has a beautiful navy coat. Throughout the movie she wears three different scarfs three different ways.

A fun outfit she gets to wear is the cleaning lady disguise. A red hat with a baggy button-up shirt and blue skirt. You can really see the different of class with this outfit.
Simon: "Yes that's fine, that does it."
Nicole: "Does what?"
Simon: "Well for one thing it gives Givenchy a night off."
Givenchy came up with every outfit in the movie, except the cleaning lady one.
And to end..
