Recreate Audrey's signature makeup look. Apply black liquid eyeliner that extends slightly up and past the upper lash line. Curl your eyelashes with an eyelash curler and apply several coats of black mascara. Keep the rest of your makeup simple -- some peachy blush and lipstick are the only other makeup you need.

Pull hair back into an updo with some volume on top. Put volumizing spray or powder at your roots and back-comb at the crown to create volume, then pull hair back into a bun (it doesn't have to be perfect) and secure with bobby pins and hair spray. If you want to take this look all the way, add a sparkly tiara or hairpins.

Accessorize like Audrey. Add pearl jewelry in classic shapes. Try three strands of pearls that hit at your collarbone and simple pearl earrings. If you like, wear elbow length black gloves. Finish off the look with a pair of pointy-toed black kitten heels.
