AC/DC and Audrey Hepburn together!
A new Gap commercial stars Audrey Hepburn, albeit a scene from the 1957 film "Funny Face," dancing along to AC/DC's "Back in Black." It was quite a sight to see Hepburn, the paramount of classic style, prancing around to the rock chords of AC/DC. After noticing who exactly it was in the ad, I wondered why Hepburn isn't used more often in commercials. And come to find out, this is the first time in 12 years that a Hepburn film clip has been authorized to endorse a product (PSFK.com).
The commercial is promoting Gap's new skinny black pant line. They've created quite an array of skinny black pants; the flagship of the line is the "Audrey Hepburn twill cropped pant."
The look can definitely be pulled off, but beware, the skinny black pant is a potential Stylefoul if you don't have Hepburn's figure.

I died a little inside when I saw that commercial. Audrey Hepburn, ethereal goddess, queen of feminine style, champion of the ballet flat...used to hock the GAP's horrible crap.
