Discovered by the French novelist Colette in 1951, 22-year-old Audrey Hepburn was immediately a force to be reckoned with. Since that fateful day, she's enraptured us all with her charm, unmistakable star power, and enchanting beauty.

Starring in classic movies like Breakfast At Tiffany's, Funny Face, and Sabrina, Hepburn proved herself a mainstay in American cinema. And the rest is, well, history. On what would have been her 85th birthday, we remember the iconic woman that was everything glamorous and more in the best way we know how: GIFs, of course.
