Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn brought a fresh, sporty style to the screen with wide-legged slacks and crisp shirts. She rejected fussy fashion in favor of comfort and ease. Her independent look inspired generations of women to dress for themselves.

Did You Know

Hepburn favored trousers so strongly that she reportedly kept wearing them even when a studio hid her pants to force her into a skirt.
