Character Evaluation
Audrey Hepburn is a beauty with big clear eyes, a delicate face and a slender figure
. Known for its elegant temperament and tasteful dress
. The interpretation in "Roman Holiday" is an authentic performance by Hepburn. Her own innocence and elegance are perfectly embodied in Annie. When Hepburn wore fresh short hair, dressed in a concise dress, and walked down the steps of the Roman Forum with ice cream, it seemed that ancient Rome was also overwhelmed; and Hepburn, who was well-dressed and well-dressed, greeted him at the diplomatic ball. In the past, when dancing lightly, no one would doubt that she was the real princess; while Hepburn, who was dealing with spies in the open-air dance hall, fully reflected the lightness and vigor of the deer
. In "The Nun's Story", Hepburn successfully portrayed the forbearing and kind nun Luke, perfectly showing her conflicts and struggles between faith and true emotions
. In "Breakfast at Tiffany's", Hepburn successfully created the image of a woman who insisted on the cruelty of life but maintained a pure heart. In the film, she sits on the windowsill and plays the guitar and sings "Moon River" with a sad and lazy voice. The fragment became one of the most memorable scenes in film history
. In "Charade", Hepburn's comedy talent was successfully tapped. Whether it was a romantic love scene or a comedy scene with frequent jokes, it was handled handily and brilliantly. Hepburn's changeable style in the film complements the film's background Paris, giving people infinite beauty
. In "Wait Until Dark", Audrey Hepburn not only vividly interprets the true and credible blind man, but also performs well in the fierce drama conflict. Hepburn's open eyes and helpless look impresses people

In the twentieth century, Audrey Hepburn changed the universally accepted definition of beauty with radical attitude and absolute courage. Her dress does not lose feminine elegance, and at the same time blends with the neutral style of boys. She makes women become free and easy, rather than just a weak and slim figure
. As a film actor, Hepburn's film works reflect her fashion taste, and her style in the movie is branded with the fashion label of "Hepburn style". Fresh short hair in "Roman Holiday", sleeveless white thorn flower dress in "Sabina", black cocktail dress in "Breakfast at Tiffany's", classic round-frame sunglasses in "Charade", "My Fair Lady" The exquisite wide-brimmed hats in "are all classic elements in the history of fashion, and profoundly affect people's aesthetic concepts
