These images are amazing.

Emma Ferrer, granddaughter of Audrey Hepburn had made her modelling debut for the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

There is a striking resemblance between the late actress and her granddaughter Emma, which can be seen in these stunning images.

In one shot, Emma is pictured wearing a black polo neck jumper and matching ski pants which is pretty much the outfit Audrey wore in the film Funny Face.

Hepburn passed away in 1993, a year before Emma was born but the 20-year-old says she has watched her grandmother’s films.

“When I watched Breakfast at Tiffany’s, I enjoyed it the same way any young girl would,’ she says. “I’ve seen My Fair Lady and Roman Holiday, but I suppose my favorite is Funny Face“.

Emma, who is in her third year of study at the Florence Academy of Art, said that as as a child she was aware of her grandmother’s fame but she always saw her as family.

“I knew her image, of course, and that I happened to be, by pure chance, related to her. But as a child I couldn’t really relate to Audrey Hepburn, the actress. To me, she was family”.

Emma’s father is Sean Ferrer, Audrey’s son from her marriage to actor Mel Ferrer. Audrey later married Italian psychiatrist Andrea Dotti and had a second son Luca.
