Audrey Hepburn’s Iconic Givenchy Gown Returns to the Runway

Holly Golightly has left New York for the Vogue World 2025: Hollywood runway. For the wide-ranging celebration of fashion and film, Paramount Studios opened the archives, lending Vogue a 1960 copy of Audrey Hepburn’s original Breakfast at Tiffany’s Givenchy dress.

Hubert de Givenchy collaborated with costume designer Edith Head to bring Holly’s now-iconic black boatneck dress to life. The Givenchy couture atelier created four iterations of the little black dress—one original and three reproductions. Tonight, one of the replicas hits the Paramount Studios runway.

The floor-length satin dress, from the fall 1960 haute couture collection, was fashioned with a fitted boatneck bodice with a cinched waist, a thigh-high slit, and cutout back to serve as the bed for Holly Golightly’s standout pearl necklace.

Givenchy also created a replica of the five-strand pearl necklace that draped across Hepburn’s collarbone.

Tonight, at Vogue World 2025: Hollywood, Audrey Hepburn’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s dress lives among more iconic film characters and costumes. Watch on to spot them all.
