#2: Katharine Hepburn’s Defiant Fashion Statement

Katharine Hepburn wasn’t one to follow the rules—especially when it came to fashion. Studios insisted she wear skirts, but Hepburn preferred pants, a bold choice for a woman in old Hollywood. When executives confiscated them to force her into a dress, she didn’t back down.

Instead, she confidently strolled around in just her underwear, making it clear she wouldn’t be controlled. Her protest wasn’t just about clothing; it was about independence and progress. In an era resistant to change, Hepburn’s defiance wasn’t just amusing.
