Audrey Hepburn in Givenchy in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” (1961)
One of the most iconic images in modern cinema is Audrey Hepburn wearing this stunning black dress by Givenchy. It may just be the most famous dress on Earth. Nearly 50 years later, women still rely on their “little black dress” for formal occasions.
Photo by: IMDBA recent poll conducted by online fashion retailer offerssupermarket.co.uk surveyed readers on the most memorable dresses of the last half-century. Since it's a British site, the results were notably different than what we'd find here in the United States. For example, Geri "Ginger Spice" Halliwell's Union Jack dress nabbed the top spot. While we do feel the poll included a few great choices, some were memorable in a badway a la Bjork's infamous Swan dress. And while we love their selection of Marilyn Monroe's white dress from "Seven Year Itch"—and think of it every time I walk over a subway grate in a dress—the film came out in 1955 and is actually too old to make the 50-year cutoff.
