Discover which iconic style fits your personality—and how it could shape your path as an etiquette expert.

A Personal Note: Why Audrey Will Always Have My Heart

A few years ago, I did something a little whimsical—something only a true admirer of classic elegance would do. I purchased every sheet of Audrey Hepburn stamps I could find. To this day, if you’ve ever received a handwritten note from me, you’ve likely noticed one of those stamps… or perhaps an Oscar de la Renta.

Audrey Hepburn is an icon I will always adore. I love everything about her—her grace, her quiet confidence, her unmistakable elegance. But I also admire Katharine Hepburn: bold, witty, and full of tomboy charm.

They are both magnetic. Both powerful. Both unforgettable.

And in many ways, both Hepburns represent two powerful paths for women who teach etiquette.

The Audrey Archetype: Grace, Soft Power, and Manners

Are you more of an Audrey?
Audrey Hepburn was the embodiment of quiet strength. She taught us that elegance is not about being noticed—it’s about being remembered.

As a certified etiquette expert, Audrey types bring:

  • A polished, graceful presence
  • The art of subtlety and soft power
  • A magnetic calm that invites trust and admiration
  • A deep love for beauty, tradition, and timeless values

Audreys are gentle guides. They model refinement in every interaction—especially when teaching manners to children or coaching professionals on executive presence.

The Katharine Vibe: Wit, Confidence, and Bold Authenticity

Now, if you’re more of a Katharine, you bring something equally extraordinary.
Katharine Hepburn never followed the rules. She rewrote them. She showed the world that strength and authenticity could be just as elegant as pearls and gloves.

As an etiquette expert, Katharine types bring:

  • A bold, unapologetic presence
  • Unshakable confidence and wit
  • The power to lead from the front and inspire action
  • A fresh, modern voice that resonates with today’s audience

Katharines teach etiquette with humor, clarity, and confidence. They captivate students—especially those who need to see that manners can be powerful, not just pretty.

Why Both Make Brilliant Etiquette Experts

Whether you lead with Audrey’s elegance or Katharine’s charisma, both styles are needed in today’s world. Why?

Because manners aren’t just about which fork to use—they’re about human connection, personal power, and emotional intelligence.

And no matter your style, if you value grace, presence, and empowering others, you already have what it takes to become a brilliant etiquette expert.
