Happy Birthday, Katharine Hepburn!
Celebrate the Oscar-winning actress' androgynous style.


Katharine Hepburn always stuck to her guns when it came to fashion. At a time when androgynous dressing was unorthodox, she sported menswear-inspired blazers, collared shirts, trousers, and loafers — carving out a style all her own in the Hollywood spotlight. As an homage to the Oscar-winning actress' idiosyncratic approach to clothes, we're looking back at some of her most memorable looks, both on and off screen.

Lauren is the former beauty editor at Marie Claire. She love to while away the hours at coffee shops, hunt for vintage clothes, and bask in the rough-and-tumble beauty of NYC. She firmly believes that solitude can be a luxury if you’ve got the right soundtrack—that being the Rolling Stones, of course.
