Audrey Hepburn, a lady known for her poise and impeccable taste, was a fan of pink. In her own words,

“I believe in pink … I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.”

This much-loved movie star was spot-on when she associated beauty with happiness—after all, a smile elevates anyone’s appearance.
