“Happy girls are the prettiest girls.” – Audrey Hepburn
Audrey Hepburn. She has become the iconic face of beauty, fashion and film; to this day she is someone who does not go unnoticed and has become a timeless portrayal of women. We all remember Audrey and her sophisticated persona in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and can’t help but wonder what formed the iconic woman behind what appeared on-screen. She exuded confidence and embodied the true meaning of elegance, which are qualities we all strive to have.
There are probably many reasons why Audrey became the woman she was. Similarly to us “regular” girls, she had a story. Her story was one filled with personal struggles, triumphs, as well as success. From becoming a ballerina (and failing), to trendsetter, to humanist, to actress, Audrey Hepburn covered it all. Despite discouragement and self-doubt on her journey to achievement, Audrey was committed to one thing: positivity.
“Happiest girls are the prettiest girls,” is a quote that we should all live by. Audrey was wise in saying this and in advocating to fellow women that happiness is essential to personal success and motivation. Self-confidence is something we all wear on our sleeves, and a simple action such as a smile can turn even the worst day into one slightly better.
So ladies, keep smiling and BE HAPPY! Trust me, you’ll find yourself feeling a lot better if you look on the bright side.
