Are You An Audrey, Marilyn, Grace, Or Sophia?

Long before "iconic" was a common catchphrase, these were the women who defined what it meant to be iconic. Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, and Sophia Loren weren’t just Hollywood stars—they were archetypes, each representing a different kind of powerful femininity.

Maybe you’ve always admired Audrey’s effortless elegance, Marilyn’s irresistible charm, Grace’s regal poise, or Sophia’s fiery confidence—but which one are you?

This isn’t just about looks or style (though, let’s be honest, they all had great taste). It’s about who you are at your core—the way you love, the way you live, and the energy you bring into a room.

So, are you the timeless ingénue, the magnetic bombshell, the refined princess, or the passionate powerhouse? Let’s find out.

If You’re an Audrey...

You’re effortlessly elegant, but in an unpretentious way. You have a soft, feminine presence that people find comforting, and your intelligence shines through in everything you do. Books, travel, and deep conversations fuel your soul, and while you might not be the loudest person in the room, you’re the most memorable.

You value deep, lifelong friendships and believe in keeping your inner circle small but meaningful. You cherish your family, always putting effort into showing them love through thoughtful gestures. As for romance, you love a cultured, well-read man who stimulates your mind as much as your heart.

You believe in kindness, in making the world better, and in the power of a perfect little black dress. You don’t chase trends—you are the trend, even when you’re just running errands in a trench coat and ballet flats.

Your ideal evening is a candlelit dinner with meaningful conversation, a classic movie, and an early bedtime so you can wake up refreshed and sip espresso at sunrise. Your musical tastes incude French café music, jazz standards, classical piano—anything that makes you feel like you’re strolling through the park on a crisp fall morning.

Your favorite places include Paris, New York’s Central Park, old bookstores, art galleries, and cozy European cafés. Your favorite reads are classic novels—perhaps Pride and Prejudice, Anna Karenina, or something by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Audrey Traits

Chic, understated fashion (think pearls, clean lines, and timeless silhouettes)

A deep love for books, art, and culture

A preference for meaningful relationships over fleeting ones

The ability to make elegance look effortless

Audrey's quotes to live by: “Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible,’” and "Elegance is the only beauty that never fades.”

If You’re a Marilyn...

You have that magnetic energy that draws people in—whether it’s your laugh, your confidence, or the way you light up a room without even trying. You don’t just get attention—you thrive in it.

But beneath all that sparkle is a depth that only a few truly get to see. You’re playful and flirtatious, but also introspective and sensitive. You’ve had your fair share of heartbreak, but you still believe in love.

You’re fiercely loyal, and when you love, you love deeply. You’re protective of your friends and family but sometimes struggle with setting boundaries because of your big heart. When it comes to romance, you long for a passionate, rebellious soul who keeps things exciting—he’s bold, daring, and absolutely obsessed with you.

Your style is undeniably glamorous. Whether you’re in jeans or a full-length gown, you understand the power of a bold lip and curves. You also know that beauty isn’t just about looks—it’s about the energy you carry.

Your ideal evening is a cocktail party where you’re the center of attention, followed by a moonlit walk with someone who truly gets you, or glamorous nightclubs followed by a stop at a vintage diner. Sultry jazz, romantic ballads, and anything with a little drama are on your playlist—think Etta James, Frank Sinatra, and Lana Del Rey.

When you have time read, it's likely a steamy, dramatic novel—think The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo or a juicy Hollywood memoir.

Marilyn Traits:

A natural flirt who knows how to command a room

A signature beauty move (red lipstick, voluminous curls, or a sultry walk)

A vulnerable heart hidden behind a playful exterior

An unapologetic love for glamour, indulgence, and all things beautiful

The belief that life should be exciting and romantic

Marilyn's quotes to live by: "Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world," and "We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets."

If You’re a Grace...

You’re regal, but not in an overly intimidating way—you just have a way of moving through the world that makes everything feel a little more elegant. Whether it’s the way you dress, speak, or carry yourself, people notice your refinement.

You believe in tradition, in etiquette, in the power of saying just the right thing at the right time. But don’t mistake your composure for weakness—underneath your polished exterior is a woman who knows exactly what she wants and isn’t afraid to get it.

You have high standards when it comes to friendships and relationships. You prefer quality over quantity and believe in nurturing strong, lifelong connections with those who truly appreciate you.

When it comes to men, you want a sophisticated, well-mannered gentleman with a strong sense of responsibility and a romantic side, too. You crave something stable, classic, and deeply romantic. You don’t fall for just anyone—you choose carefully, knowing that true love should be as enduring as a vintage Cartier watch.

Your ideal evening is spent in Monaco, Parisian ballrooms, historic mansions, or anywhere with a breathtaking view. The time would be best spent at a black-tie event where you turn heads. Classical symphonies, opera, or soft jazz plays in the background.

Your favorite reads are most likely a biography of a royal figure, or a coffee table book on interior design.

Grace Traits:

A wardrobe full of timeless, polished pieces (tailored coats, silk scarves, and elegant gowns)

A preference for quality over quantity in all aspects of life

A love for old-world charm, fine art, and timeless romance

An ability to maintain composure no matter the situation

A belief that true elegance is a combination of grace and strength

Grace's quotes to live by: “I favor elegance and grace, but I never forget that to me, it also represents strength," and "Fairy tales can come true. You’ve got to make them happen. It all depends on you.”

If You’re a Sophia...

You don’t just live life—you devour it. Passionate, bold, and completely unafraid to be yourself, you’re a force to be reckoned with. You love hard, fight hard, and rarely apologize for it.

You believe in indulgence—good food, rich conversation, and experiences that make your heart race. You don’t need attention, but you get it anyway because you’re impossible to ignore. People admire your bombshell style, your humor, and the way you can make the simplest moments feel electric.

You’re deeply devoted to your loved ones and will fight tooth and nail to protect them. You believe in loyalty, honesty, and celebrating life’s joys together.

You believe in all-consuming love—the kind that’s fiery, intense, and filled with deep loyalty. You don’t settle, and you never fake your emotions. A rugged, passionate man who knows how to handle a strong woman and isn’t intimidated by your fire is your perfect match.

Your ideal evening is a homemade Italian feast, a glass of wine, and an animated debate about art, politics, or the meaning of life. Italian ballads, Spanish flamenco, or anything by Andrea Bocelli or Édith Piaf is on your playlist.

Your favorite places are Rome, Naples, bustling piazzas, and anywhere with rich food, history, and culture, and you're most likely to be caught reading a cookbook, or a passionate, dramatic novel—maybe The House of the Spirits or Like Water for Chocolate.

Sophia Traits

A naturally commanding presence (people listen when you talk)

A love for dramatic, statement fashion (big earrings, bold prints, and body-hugging silhouettes)

A sharp wit and a tendency to say exactly what’s on your mind

A passion for good food, good wine, and even better company

A belief that life should be lived, not watched from the sidelines

Sophia's quotes to live by: "Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical," and "There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love.”

So, Which One Are You?

Did you instantly recognize yourself in one of these iconic women, or do you see a little bit of yourself in all of them?

Maybe you’re an Audrey with a Marilyn streak—graceful and intellectual but with a secret playful side. Or perhaps you’re a mix of Grace and Sophia—poised and elegant but full of fire underneath.

One thing’s for sure, Old Hollywood may be long gone, but its icons live on in every woman who embraces the unique allure of her unique femininity.
