Elegance is something more than ease; it is more than a freedom from awkwardness or restraint. It implies, I conceive, a precision, a polish, a sparkling, spirited yet delicate.
Elegance means being beautiful both on the inside and out.
Sophia Loren would be a glamour girl even if she were in rags selling fish. She has the look, the movement and the intellect.
My favorite Hepburn moment is in 'Sabrina,' when she steps off a boat in white shorts and a plaid shirt. Chic, classic, and unfussy.
Neither refinement nor delicacy is indispensable to produce elegance.
Elegance is timeless. It withstands trend; It withstands the commercialization of what fashion and style have become.

They've offered me every variation on Audrey Horne, none of which were as good or as much fun.
She was temptation wrapped in casual elegance.
I shall be dark and French and fashionable and difficult. And you shall be sweet and open and English and fair. What a pair we shall be! What man can resist us?
The only man who could make a love scene comfortable was Clark Gable. He was born graceful, he knew what to do with his feet and when he took hold of you, there was no fooling around.
