The duo Hubert de Givenchy and Audrey Hepburn still strikes.After Sabrina, Roman holidays, Charade or even diamonds on the sofa, the French designer must imagine a costume for a new character played by Audrey Hepburn.In how to steal a million dollars, she becomes Nicole Bonnet, the daughter of a renowned French art collector, who wants to take over the Venus de Cellini.Hubert de Givenchy, in charge of all the costumes of William Wyler's film, will once again offer a most sumptuous wardrobe to his muse.Located in Paris in the 1960s, production required to fill the dressing room of the character of Audrey Hepburn with many sophisticated pieces.An outfit particularly draws attention: an immaculate set created specially for her by the French designer.

Givenchy style

During the lifetime of the Creator, it was said of Hubert de Givenchy that he was one of the pioneers of minimal fashion: a very clean, essential but sophisticated form of haughty couture.These words perfectly describe the style of the wardrobe created for the character of Nicole Bonnet and in particular the famous white outfit of the opening of the film.The whole is made up of a tailor with a short sleeve top, buttoned in the back and structured thanks to a belt at the waist.For the bottom, Hubert de Givenchy puts on a tone on tone on tone skirt which underlines the gray silhouette of the actress.In the outdoor scenes, Audrey Hepburn embodies the absolute chic of the sixties with a short jacket, white tights and small heels, signature of his style.On the accessories side, the list is long but the look always as sleek: a silk scarf tied around the neck, a pair of white mount glasses as well as a hat helmet elegantly attached under the chin.

The Parisian according to Audrey Hepburn

In how to steal a million dollars, Audrey Hepburn plays a rich and sophisticated Parisian which evolves in the world of works of arts.It was the perfect excuse for Hubert de Givenchy to make him the most beautiful wardrobes.The white outfit of the beginning introduces the purely Parisian style of heroin.For the film, the actress cuts her short hair that she makes it puff on the back of the head.This pixie cut, matching a minimalist style, adds a touch of chic at its already very marked look.With a real master stroke, Hubert de Givenchy brings out the heroine of William Wyler thanks to this daring choice of immaculate outfit.His convertible car is red and the interior of his sumptuous manor of Neuilly-sur-Seine is richly decorated.The striking contrast between his minimalist figure and the sets of Alexandre Trauner adds to the personality apart from Nicole Bonnet.Throughout the film, Hubert de Givenchy will keep the same spirit to dress his muse: perfectly structured skirt tailors, purely sixties accessories and a navy blue coat of military inspiration to give plumb to the frail silhouette of theactress.Like a real Parisian, Nicole Bonnet allows herself a bit of eccentricity in the evening: black whipped cream dress and jacket, matching eyes mask and this dramatic eye shadow with silver glitter signed by Make-Up Artist Alberto de Rossi.
