Audrey Hepburn's Granddaughter Makes Her Fashion Debut

With her brown hair, doe eyes, and graceful bearing, Emma Ferrer bears more than a slight resemblance to Audrey Hepburn. Not shocking, considering the 20-year-old is the eldest granddaughter of the iconic actress.

Ferrer makes her debut on the September cover of Harper's Bazaar, where in a series of photos taken by Michael Avedon—the 23-year-old grandson of photographer Richard Avedon, who captured many classic shots of Audrey—she channels a variety of Hepburn-inspired looks.

Audrey died a year before Ferrer was born, so she only knew her grandmother the same way many of us have: through film and pictures. Still, she acknowledges a strange kind of connection between them.

“I remember seeing a photo of her jumping on a trampoline—I believe this was before I understood that she was famous," Ferrer said. "But I remember thinking that she looked like a friend I wish I could have had.”

Her career ambitions are her own, though, leaning more towards drawing and painting than acting. Having no desire for the Hollywood lifestyle, she traded LA for Italy in her teen years, and is currently in her third year at the Florence Academy of Art. She plans on moving stateside to the academy's upcoming New York branch next year.

Ferrer also shares her grandmother's affinity for dancing, having trained in ballet. This would explain why she totally owns the images where she's emulating the Funny Face dance scene.

Later on, Ferrer remarks, "Somehow, seeing her in her youth and brilliance reminded me that I do, in fact, carry her spirit along with me." We couldn't agree more.
