Olivia and Jason Cuddle Up at Emilia Clarke's Broadway Debut

Emilia Clarke channeled Audrey Hepburn's glamour when she premiered her new play, Breakfast at Tiffany's, on Broadway last night.

Emilia Clarke channeled Audrey Hepburn's glamour when she premiered her new play, Breakfast at Tiffany's, on Broadway last night. She wore a sheer Dolce & Gabbana frock as she worked the red carpet alongside her costar Cory Michael Smith, who wore Balenciaga, and guests Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde, who hugged and giggled at the theater. The play has been earning Emilia decent reviews, with one Huffington Post play critic admitting that while she doesn't fit the physical profile of Holly Golightly, she did a "more than acceptable job" living up to the iconic character.

Emilia was in the Big Apple for the event while her Game of Thrones costars were busy celebrating the third season premiere of their hit HBO show in San Francisco. She did get to squeeze in some time with her castmates earlier this week when she dropped by the LA premiere of Game of Thrones.

We've seen plenty of adorable, pink-drenched little girls' birthday parties in our day, but this Breakfast at Tiffany's-inspired party for 1-year-old Riley manages to be both girlie and chic, much like style icon Audrey Hepburn herself.

We've seen plenty of adorable, pink-drenched little girls' birthday parties in our day, but this Breakfast at Tiffany's-inspired party for 1-year-old Riley manages to be both girlie and chic, much like style icon Audrey Hepburn herself. "I wanted something that was ultimately fun and glamorous, and nothing was better than Breakfast at Tiffany's!" says Riley's mom, Cassidy Freitas. "Also, the theme would combine two of my all-time favorite things: diamonds and breakfast. I felt the theme had been done before, and I wanted to change it up and make it a little more youthful, so we went with the color scheme of mint, peach, and silver instead of the traditional Tiffany blue." A stylish DIY photo booth, a yummy breakfast buffet, and one scrumptious birthday girl dressed as Holly Golightly add to the appeal of this simply stunning party, beautifully captured by Susan Yee of En Point Photography.

Inspired by Holly Golightly's unforgettable sofa in Breakfast at Tiffany's, one Côté Maison reader decided to take matters into his own hands and DIY a clawfoot tub sofa for himself. He began by sawing off the sides of the tub, and then sanded down the edges for safety. Then he cut a piece of plywood to size as a seat, painted the base, and added cushions.

Countdown to a Fabulous New Year's! Go Glam à la Holly Golightly

With only eight days to go until New Year's Eve, I thought it fitting to pay homage to the quintessential party girl and ladylike legend, Holly Golightly.

With only eight days to go until New Year's Eve, I thought it fitting to pay homage to the quintessential party girl and ladylike legend, Holly Golightly. The iconic image of Miss G enjoying coffee and a croissant while gazing into Tiffany's is permanently ingrained in my head. Holly was the ultimate glamorous girl-about-town, and she always dressed the part. Get her glam look with a long black sheath dress ($80), shiny kitten heels, and elbow-length gloves. Make the look modern with a crystal headband and sequin clutch — and don't forget the pearls.

The Real Female Dichotomy: Marilyn vs. Audrey

Before Sex and the City, we had Holly Golightly, the fabulous single lady portrayed by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Before Sex and the City, we had Holly Golightly, the fabulous single lady portrayed by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. In the upcoming book Fifth Avenue 5 A.M.: Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and the Dawn of the Modern Woman, author Sam Wasson argues that Hepburn's portrayal was one of the first to glamorize the single, city-dwelling woman.

In the 1958 book on which the movie was based, Truman Capote made Golightly a racy call girl, a far more controversial character who was tamed for the big screen. In the latest issue of New York magazine, Wasson says the casting of Audrey Hepburn made Golightly a more aspirational figure:

"Before Hepburn, there was the prude and the slut, and the reality of in-between had no cinematic correlation. If Monroe had played her, she would have just been a hooker. That was when I got the power of the movie, and the genius of casting Audrey Hepburn."

In a much-discussed season two episode of Mad Men, the creative types at Sterling Cooper argue that all women fall into two camps: the Jackie or the Marilyn, the Madonna and the whore. But being a "Jackie" also means being a mom, so for single women, perhaps the Marilyn vs. Audrey dichotomy is more accurate. What do you think?

Could Anne Hathaway Play Holly Golightly?

Relax: This is just a tiny little rumor and nobody is remaking Breakfast at Tiffany's (yet).


Relax: This is just a tiny little rumor and nobody is remaking Breakfast at Tiffany's (yet). But apparently the idea of a remake has been bandied about for a long time now, with the major issue being, of course, who would take on the iconic Audrey Hepburn role, Holly Golightly?

In Variety, Liz Smith claims that "if anybody could be Holly Golightly in the 21st century, it's Anne" Hathaway who, Smith says, "has an unusually alert, charming way about her — elfin, sexy, princessy, without being prissy."

Do you agree with this assessment of Hathaway? She's certainly been getting a lot of attention lately — do you think she could pull off this role?
