Six Reasons to See Funny Face

Six Reasons to See Funny Face

1. Audrey Hepburn’s First Musical

Audrey came to Hollywood with a background in ballet and modelling. Funny Face wasn't her first hit but it was her first film to show off her exquisite dancing skills.

2. Shot on Location in Paris

You'll wish you were a tourist in 1956.

3. Costumes by Givenchy

Costume designer Edith Head worked with fashion house Givenchy to dress Hepburn in some stunning gowns. See our Pinterest board here for more visuals. 

4. Diana Vreeland + ‘Think Pink!’

Kay Thompson is clearly having fun as the Dian Vreeland-esque fashion editor exhorting us to "think pink". The classic opening song-and-dance number is worth your ticket price alone.

5. Fred Astaire

Hepburn had always wanted to dance with Astaire and it was at her request that he was cast in the lead role of fashion photographer Dick Avery. 

6. Richard Avedon

The great fashion photographer was the model for Astaire’s character – and furnished the striking photographs that populate the famous opening credits.
