There's no competing with the classic image of Audrey Hepburn riding a bicycle, but that didn't stop Kim Kardashian from trying.
The "Keeping Up With the
Kardashians" star, 33, was spotted channeling Hepburn on the set of a
Miami photo shoot on Tuesday. In the photographs, Kim is wearing
Audrey's signature ensemble of a black turtleneck, cropped pants, and
ballet flats, and has her hair pulled back into a chic ponytail. She
even sported a pair of faux bangs in an attempt to really nail Hepburn's
look.
The original photograph of Hepburn tooling around on a two-wheeler
was taken on the set of her 1954 film "Sabrina." In the flick, the
British actress-turned-Hollywood darling plays a chauffeur's daughter
who transforms herself from a lonely Long Island, New York, girl into a
Parisian knockout. When she returns home, two brothers played by
Humphrey Bogart and William Holden vie for her heart. The image of
Hepburn cycling around on her bike is synonymous with her lengthy career
in Tinsletown.
Obviously, filling Audrey's
dainty ballet flats isn't easy and Kim fell a little flat — literally.
The reality queen tumbled onto her back after she flew off of her bike
and was sent sailing onto the pavement during the shoot to promote what
looks to be Hype energy drink. Since no one rushed to help her up, we're
guessing the crash was staged.
Emulating iconic screen sirens is nothing new for Kim. She's likened
herself to greats like Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, and Marilyn
Monroe in the past. In 2012, Kardashian tweeted a series of photographs
from a shoot where she rocked Loren-style bouffant waves and several
dazzling dresses. She even captioned the snaps, "Finding my inner Sophia
Loren."
