The lifestyle mogul found some beauty inspiration from one ofAudrey Hepburn’s most stylish characters:Breakfast at Tiffany’sHolly Golightly. Stewart hosted “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” with chef Daniel Boulud and businessmanLee Brian Schragerfor the New York City Wine and Food Festival (NYCWFF) on Friday, Oct. 18.

The 83-year-old posted toInstagramand shared in the caption that she had a “marathon day” after she attended the breakfast event at Boulud’sBlue Box Café. “It was a most elegant affair,” she wrote before creditingZahir Ziani salon“for best updos in nyc or anywhere.”

Holly has her hair in an elegant updo with her short bangs swept to the side and seamlessly pinned into the twirled updo, with a diamond tiara — which Stewart also had.

Holly’s sleek hairstyle is paired with her swanky black satin gown, long black satin gloves, large tortoiseshell sunglasses and Tiffany’s pearl necklace.

While Stewart opted for a different ensemble, she channeled a similarly sophisticated look. She wore a black turtleneck sweater, black leather pants and large tortoise sunglasses. Stewart’s look was topped off with a triangle bib necklace comprised of pearls and diamonds — which paired well with her pearl earrings and diamond rings.
