Hepburn Breakfast at Tiffanys

Remember Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle in "My Fair Lady", and as Holly Golightly in "Breakfast at Tiffany's"? She wore such simple pearl jewelry, and yet they made her face shine.

Pearls bring glamour to a woman's face, catch the light and trap it in to create a very suffused glow not unlike a halo. Translucence is also a mystical quality of pearls, evoking mystery and sophistication in the wearer. Admired widely for her classic glamourous pose in a black Givenchy dress, pearls and gloves in “Breakfast at Tiffany's,” a movie way back in 1961, Audrey Hepburn has made her way to the top again.

It is to be noted that the votes of the poll of shopping channel, QVC even pushed Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly behind, with Audrey Hepburn topping the list.

Sky News reports that Cheryl Cole came second while Marilyn Monroe bagged the third place.

Angelina Jolie, Princess Diana and Jennifer Anniston were the others among the top ten, voted for the most beautiful woman of the 20th century.

The top 10 most beautiful women:

1. Audrey Hepburn
2. Cheryl Cole
3. Marilyn Monroe
4. Angelina Jolie
5. Grace Kelly
6. Scarlett Johansson
7. Halle Berry
8. Diana, Princess of Wales
9. Kelly Brook
10. Jennifer Aniston
