What happens when you cross Katie Melua and Emma Roberts? Well, you get someone who looks a lot, facially, like Hollywood legend Audrey Hepburn’s granddaughter, Emma Ferrer. The 20-year-old, who has the divine eyebrows of her late grandmother, features on the front of US Harper’s Bazaar this month, and here’s the need-to-know on Emma, who:
-
Never met her grandmother, being born to Audrey’s son Sean just a year after she died of a rare form of cancer.
-
Is all arty, being a student at the Florence Academy of Art, just about to go into her third year. She’s also studied ballet, just like Audrey.

Grew up in LA but isn’t that into it. ‘Growing up there felt entirely normal, since I was only a child,’ however, ‘I know kids who had to go into rehab. It’s only now that I realise certain elements of a Hollywood lifestyle are, in fact, not entirely healthy.’
-
Will hold her hands up and admit she doesn’t actually know her grandma’s filmography inside out:
‘I’ve been questioning a lot lately what she means to me. I knew her image, of course, and that I happened to be, by pure chance, related to her. But as a child I couldn’t really relate to Audrey Hepburn, the actress. To me, she was family.’
‘I can live with her through my father. His stories are all about his growing up. But honestly, I haven’t seen all of her movies. When I watched Breakfast at Tiffany’s, I enjoyed it the same way any young girl would. I’ve seen My Fair Lady and Roman Holiday, but I suppose my favorite is Funny Face.’
-
Understands there’s a bit of Audrey in her, though. ‘Somehow, seeing her in her youth and brilliance reminded me that I do, in fact, carry her spirit along with me.’
-
Wears Audrey’s hand-me-downs. ‘All I can think of are her cashmere turtlenecks, which I adore and wear all throughout the winter.’
-
Is a little daunted about leaving the nest (she’s moving to New York next year). ‘I worry about finding the kind of organic food I like to eat and wonder where I will live.’

Is only just getting how great it would have been to have had her grandma about when she was growing up. ‘Sometimes when I was younger, I felt confused toward what having a grandmother like her could mean in my life. But I am now understanding.’
Aw. We’re not sure how much more we’ll see of her, as she doesn’t seem the famous type, but considering how well she models, and how everything she says seems to be that little bit sophisticated, we wouldn’t be entirely opposed to seeing more of her.
