Style Icon: Dame Julie Andrew

04/22/13 | celebrity, movies, Style Icons

I first fell in love with Julie Andrew when I saw her in the Princess Diaries at the ripe old age of ten and I watched the movie again yesterday on ABC Family, a perfect Sunday afternoon flick.  It was not until the next time I watched her sing about a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down that I realized the breadth of her amazing acting career – she is the only actresses I have ever heard of who have won an Academy Award for her film debut – earning the Oscar for Best Actress in Walt Disney’s 1964 film,  Mary Poppins. Then following yea she stared one of my favorite movies- the Sound of Music!  I am glad this movie became the highest grossing film of the decade because it introduced the world to a truly phenomenal actress and style icon.   These are my favorite Julie Andrew’s looks: 

While Julie is definitely the oldest woman I have featured in my Style Icons series 
and I am proud to be expanding this to include such an amazing woman,
who at 77 is still stunning!

    Oh my gosh my mom is OBSESSED with Julie Andrews. I grew up listening to my mom sing every song Julie Andrews ever sang, ever. And I am obsessed with the Sound of Music. And basically everything else Julie Andrews is in. So good. So, so, good.

    I totally watch the Princess Diaries yesterday during the princess marathon!!! Julie Andrews is a classic. Have you ever heard the story of how she came to be discovered by Disney for Mary Poppins? It is wonderful!

    Honestly, she looks in the ‘Now’ pictures better than in the ‘Then’ ones!
    I hope I can look half as good at that age!!! ❤

    I adore Julie Andrews. The Sound of Music was one of my favorite movies growing up, so I always loved her–but she’s so charming in Princess Diaries, too (p.s. ALSO watched that this weekend…yay for ABC Family!).

    I absolutely love Julie Andrew. She’s the epitome of timeless. And she’s still gorgeous at 77.

    i love her, and the sound of music is my all time fave movie. As a kid I would watch it over and over and over and I still know the entire movie by heart (im such a dork!~) I love julie andrews though- she is the epitome of nautral beauty. I hope to look as good as her at 77! Also, Can’t believe how talented she is too. i’m sad to hear that she recently hurt one of her vocal cords~ ;( xO!
