For many people, the name Audrey Hepburn causes one iconic image to spring to mind: Audrey, as the capricious Holly Golightly, having breakfast at Tiffany's in pearls and a black Givenchy gown.
Now, that very dress that featured in the classic 1961 film is going up for auction. Expected to fetch up to ?70,000, or $130,000 USD, the proceeds of the sale will go to the City of Joy - a charity which helps needy children in Calcutta.
The auction will take place at Christie's on December 5 - anyone fancy a little black dress for Christmas?
