Breakfast at Tiffany's

Every magazine/newspaper seems to be writing about the latest fashion film: Coco Before Chanel and creating spreads of timeless classics invented by Chanel.
However something that's been overlooked (perhaps because its not out until September) is the theatre adaption of Truman Capote's novel and the film that made Audrey Hepburn an icon: Breakfast at Tiffany's. The leading role of Holly Golightly is being played by Anna Friel, I think this is a good choice and I hope she does the film and novel justice. The Costume designer for the film is Anthony ward, who has also worked on Oliver!, so we will see how he does.
Anyway I've recreated the famous image that everybody remembers from the film. Hepburn dressed in a gorgeous long black dress, dazzling diamonds and every superstars accessory: Starbucks coffee.


Don't forget your Starbucks.
Check out other images of Anna Friel as Holly Golightly here, here and here.
What do you think of the theatre adaptation of Breakfast at Tiffany's? Is is a good idea? Or should they leave the classics alone?
