The biographical film about Audrey Hepburn, titled Dinner With Audrey, has released its first official images. Thomasin McKenzie portrays Hepburn and Ansel Elgort brings designer Hubert de Givenchy to life. Directed by Abe Sylvia, the film focuses on their four-decade friendship, set in Paris in 1953, when Hepburn was 24 years old and on the brink of fame.
Filming and visual recreation of 1953 Paris 🎬
The production has used natural lighting techniques and historical costumes to recreate the era's aesthetic. The production design relies on archival photographic references to reproduce Givenchy's studios and Parisian streets. The cinematography employs anamorphic lenses to capture the texture of classic celluloid, aiming for a visual finish that evokes 1950s cinema without resorting to excessive digital filters.
When your designer friend dresses you to conquer the world 👗
Seeing an insecure Hepburn and a young Givenchy solving wardrobe dilemmas promises more than a moment of tension. Because, let's be honest, we've all had that friend who lends us clothes for an important date and then looks at us with an expression of approval or total disaster. The difference is that Givenchy lent her dresses to conquer Hollywood, not for a coffee downtown.
