Audrey Hepburn fever is sweeping the nation this summer, as 2015 marks the 65th anniversary of Hepburn's debut appearance in London's West End as dancer and chorus girl in Petite Sauce Tartare. And London is the place to be once again. The National Portrait Gallery is showcasing an exhibition all about Audrey, while The Royal Opera House is also hosting the world premiere of Breakfast at Tiffany's Live.

First up, the National Portait Gallery. An exquisite exhibition of never-before-seen images will be revealed from 2nd July until 18 October.

With over sixty exclusive images, the exhibition will tell the captivating story of fashion icon and actress Audrey Hepburn. Offering a truly fascinating insight into her high profile life, the exhibition shows pictures of her effortless elegance from her early years as a chorus girl in London's West End through to portraits of her as an established actress and model.

The collection includes classic and rarely seen prints from leading twentieth-century photographers such as Richard Avedon, Cecil Beaton, Terry O'Neill, Norman Parkinson and Irving Penn. Alongside these, an array of vintage magazine covers, film stills, and extraordinary archival material will complete her story.
