Who designed Audrey Hepburn’s 1969 wedding dress for her marriage to Andrea Dotti?

Hubert de Givenchy designed Audrey Hepburn’s 1969 wedding dress for her marriage to Andrea Dotti.

Hepburn wore a pale pink, long-sleeved minidress with a matching headscarf for the civil ceremony in Morges, Switzerland. The youthful length and opaque tights made the outfit notably different from the full-length white gowns commonly associated with formal Western weddings.

Givenchy and Hepburn had a long creative partnership that began in the 1950s. He created many of her best-known screen and public appearances, so her second wedding outfit reflected an established friendship as well as a fashion collaboration.

Hepburn’s first wedding, to Mel Ferrer in 1954, involved a different short dress designed by Pierre Balmain. That distinction matters because both ceremonies are frequently discussed together, while the 1969 outfit belongs specifically to Givenchy’s later, more playful bridal vocabulary.
