"Funny Face" was originally a musical stage play performed by dancer and actor Fred Astaire on Broadway in 1927. He usually has almost harsh requirements for the dance skills of the actors he collaborates with, but he admires Hepburn very much. Because Hepburn studied dance since she was a child, and even determined to devote herself to ballet, her dancing skills made Astaire, who was born as a dancer, unable to fault .

In "Funny Face", Audrey's dress in black, black pants and white socks became a fashion in the United States and Europe after the film was released. During the filming, the director asked Audrey to wear black tights, black top and black shoes, but Asking her to wear white socks, Hepburn was firmly opposed at the time, thinking that wearing white socks would destroy the entire black line and make her feet look inconsistent. The director insisted that if you don't wear white socks, the whole person will be melted away by the background, and the action will be invisible. Hepburn burst into tears and ran into the cloakroom. After regaining her calm, she put on white stockings and continued filming. After the film was released, after watching the scene, she handed a note of thanks to the director. Because she had been worried that wearing white socks would make her size 8 and a half bigger feet, she burst into tears .

The amazing flip is that the professor is really a beast. I thought Hepburn was going to put aside the glitz and go back to the basics. I'm so naive! - But the photographer is not bad, all the photos have amazing composition and color, love it!

Maggie Prescott: Lettie, take an editorial! "To the women of America...!" No, make it to the women everywhere. "Banish the black, burn the blue, and bury the beige. From now on, girls, think pink!"

Jo Stockton: What about these pictures?
Dick Avery: Well, we're using this shop as a background for some fashion pictures for Quality Magazine.
Jo Stockton: I'm sorry, but I can't let you do this. Dr. Post would never approve. She doesn't approve of fashion magazines. It's chichi and an unrealistic approach to self-impressions as well as economics.
