The first visual materials from the upcoming Audrey Hepburn biopic "Dinner With Audrey" have been released. Thomasin McKenzie will portray the iconic actress Audrey Hepburn, while Ansel Elgort will play fashion designer Hubert de Givenchy. Directed by Abe Sylvia, the film will take place in Paris and focus on the four-decade friendship between Hepburn and de Givenchy.

The released images show McKenzie and Elgort walking arm in arm on the streets, along with photos from their respective scenes. The cast also includes Miranda Richardson (Ella Van Heemstra), Judy Greer (Edith Head), and Michael Shannon.

Set in Paris in 1953, the film explores a slice of Hepburn's life at the age of 24. This period marks a turning point in the actress's career; although she is on the brink of worldwide fame, she struggles with self-doubt. Hepburn visits the fashion house of the overworked de Givenchy. Initially rejected, her determination convinces de Givenchy, leading to a long-lasting friendship. The production emphasizes that this collaboration is one of the most influential relationships in cinema.

Famous photographer Sophie Elgort (Ansel Elgort's sister) has joined the film to visually reflect the connection between Hepburn and de Givenchy. Elgort aims to capture the spirit of 1950s Paris and the youthful essence of these two iconic figures. Over the past 15 years, Elgort has established herself with editorial work and campaign portfolios featured in publications such as Elle, Financial Times, Town & Country, Vogue, and Harper's Bazaar.

Ashok Armitraj and Priya Amritraj have taken on the role of producers for the film. Hyde Park Entertainment, Mad Chance Productions (Andrew Lazar and Vanessa Humphrey), Wayfarer Studios, and Justin Baldoni's Wayfarer are also involved as production companies. "Dinner With Audrey" is set to hit theaters on June 16, 2026.
