“For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone. ”
柯德莉夏萍(Audrey Hepburn)於上世紀提出的這套審美標準,今時今日還適用嗎?生於沒有醫美、美顏相機,一切都是無添加的年代,每個人都赤裸裸地呈現自己真實樣貌;而擁有近乎完美五官、被譽為「最美麗的女人」的Audrey卻認為所謂美是從心而發,一個人美麗與否,全都取決於其內心,反觀如今社會的主流審美觀卻有背道而馳之嫌。Audrey除了為女性以身作則,更留下了許多關於美的啟示語錄,或許下次我們在挑剔自己樣貌上的不完美時,停下來想一想,甚麼是「美」?
女「不」為悅己者容
在銀幕上充斥着金髮女郎的年代,Audrey無疑似是一股清泉,她打破了女人必須性感嫵媚、為男人而打扮的價值觀,堅持自己一貫的風格,對於世界的讚賞,她也只是淡淡然表示:「我只是一直在做自己!」就連Givenchy都對她讚譽有加:「柯德莉有她個人獨特的風格。她穿出了優雅、流行與簡單。獨樹一幟的風格創造了屬於她個人特色的『夏萍』風格。」在Audrey短暫的一生裏,她不單單滿足於外貌帶給自己的演藝事業,反而藉着自己的知名度影響世界,成為一名人道主義者,將自身價值發揮到最大,成為後人難及的「美」的標準。

「女人的美不在於外表,而在於她的靈魂。是她給予的關懷以及她展露的熱情。」

“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.”
「女人的美不在於她穿的衣服、她的身材或是她梳頭髮的樣子。女人的美絕對是從眼睛所散發的,因為那將通往她充滿愛的心房。」
