My Fair Lady




When I got together with my friends this past weekend we decided to kick back and watch a movie. We all love Audrey Hepburn and with several of her options at our disposal we ended up choosing My Fair Lady. My Fair Lady is a musical starring Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Dolittle and Rex Harrison as Henry Higgins. I loved watching this movie because not only was it good, but I love all of the dresses that Audrey (Eliza) wears during the movie.

This movie starts off with Eliza, a flower girl from the slums, meeting Rex, a professor of phonetics. Rex informs another fellow that a persons' way of speech and accent can help determine how society sees that person. He boasts that he could take someone like Eliza, who has a strong cockney accent and instruct her so that she could pass as a duchess.



Eliza's first test comes when Rex takes her to the races. I love the way all of the characters are dressed at the races.

And her real test comes at the embassy ball where even royalty is present. This dress is my absolute favorite of the whole movie. The details are so intricate and she looks so feminine.

If you haven't watched this movie, you need too. I'm not going to tell you how it ends...so that's another reason to watch.
