Breakfast at Tiffany's
Breakfast at Tiffany's is a 1958 novella by Truman Capote and its 1961 film adaptation starring Audrey Hepburn.
The story follows Holly Golightly, a stylish young woman in New York whose glamorous facade masks deeper vulnerabilities.
The title evokes aspirational elegance—Tiffany's being the iconic Fifth Avenue jewelry store.
The phrase now suggests a certain wistful sophistication: She had Breakfast at Tiffany's dreams on a diner budget.
