Audrey was not only classy, in her dress and posture, but also in her morals and bravery. She did so much philanthropy and helped so many people. What comes to my mind first is all she did for the Dutch resistance. She danced to raise funds to support resistance, and delivered messages and food to downed pilots there.

[@JamilaMusayeva]

That is what I mentioned as well ☺️

[@eunicemendoza7069]

AV-Art , thank you for this information about her elegance

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Not to mention her wonderful charity work both before after she became famous. She was truly a kind and generous person.🙂

[@h069401]

You do Hepburn perfectly. I'm not suprised that she's a substantial influence in your life.

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Thank you 🥹

[@AlfredRoberts-eg9pt]

@@JamilaMusayeva hey baby girl you're you're welcome I really I have never forgot about you, I never will. you know I like you I'll never forget when I talk to you at your house your family gathering that was cool if I get to do it again I'm going to call you on Saturday and see if you'll talk to me again I like that but yeah you are a very influential admirer of Miss Hepburn that's really amazing I do remember Audrey Hepburn she just did not let no one run over her and she knew her women's rights man that white lady was unreal the wild things that she opposed then were really major back then my mom would like to her tongue hit the ground she loved that so much my mother would be 100 years old in 2029 that's how long ago that was that was back in the seventies I think

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Darling Audrey was a ballerina, no wonder she carried herself so beautifully. My 15 years of ballet, unfortunately, didn’t correct my posture in the long run, I have to constantly correct it. She was my mother’s style icon, too. But mostly, she was a beautiful human being🙂

[@Carmen0777]

Jamila, I’m glad you are standing firm on keeping your family private. I’ve read a lot of people asking about your husband, children, parents and what kind of work they are doing. I commend you for staying true to yourself, your core values and beliefs. On the other hand thank you for sharing Audrey Hepburn she is one of my favorite actress and of course she is the very reason why I’m learning Etiquette, she is the embodiment of Etiquette and grace. Loved watching her interviews and movies. Take care and God bless. Kind regards, Carmen

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Thank you, Carmen, for your continuous support ✨

[@mimvlog3236]

I agree with you, Carmen! I am so happy to see Jamila keep her personal life and family private ( as well as her choice of fragrance!). I don't understand what gives people the right to demand details into every aspect of other people's lives. Keep standing firm on that front, Jamila!!

[@annie-sc]

Totally agree! She truly exudes class.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I don’t understand why people who ask personal questions like that do so. Don’t they have lives of their own?🙂

Audrey Hepburn has always been my role model. I continually work on being ok with the silence. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video

You're so welcome!

[@asanisimasaaa]

Jamila, I just adore you. It's been such a joy to watch you grow your platform over these past couple of years. Thank you for reminding us that kindness and consideration for others are essential components of true elegance. Much love from Denmark

I wear outfits like Audrey’s trousers, shirt and sweater outfit all the time! I had never seen this photo of her, it’s charming.

Audrey Hepburn was truly the epitome of what being classy is.

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Absolutely!

[@josianejustin871]

Jamila, thank you for who you are! It is always a joy to watch your videos. In this day and age where we are bombarded with so much rubbish, it is refreshing to follow someone who has such high human values that our society is so desperately in need of. Keep up the great work.

[@neartothewildheart]

Ever since i found your channel you really reminded me of audrey hepburn. She has been one of my inspirations since i was 13 and now that i will be 18 in a couple of months both you and her inspire me more than ever. You really helped me step into my true self, embodying the elegance that i was always meant to have. thank you.

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Thank you for saying that!

I love this video!! Audrey is an inspiration to me too. So kind, so feminine, so sensitive. Thank you for the wonderful content you share with us.

[@JamilaMusayeva]

You are so welcome!

[@decemberclouds]

I understand why she was such an icon for you! I think that there is a little too much exposure to everyone's life - I don't need or even want to hear everything about everyone! I don't think anyone should be obliged to share any and everything about their lives either.

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Exactly!

[@ellielondor5740]

Thank you so much for this insightful video! 🌟 Learning about Audrey Hepburn's grace and timeless elegance is truly inspiring. Your lessons on etiquette and soft skills are invaluable, and I appreciate the effort you put into sharing them with us. It's amazing how these lessons from the iconic Audrey Hepburn can still resonate and guide us today. Looking forward to applying these tips in my own life. Keep up the fantastic work, and I can't wait for more lessons and inspiration from you! 💖✨

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Wonderful!

BONJOURS DEAR JAMILA WHEN I SAW YOUR VIDEOS YOU ALWAYS MAKE ME THINK OF AUDREY HEYPBURN ! you have the same élegance , the grace , the softness of her

[@shanasidders1047]

You are so beautiful, and and YOU are such an inspiration to me. Thank you for your insight. You have helped me tremendously.

I love this video❤❤❤ Audrey Hepburn is my idol when it comes to fashion and elegance

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Mine too ✨

[@carlbaun9840]

You definitely took after her! She was lovely and, unfortunately, quite tragic young woman. When I look at you I saw glimpse of Audrey herself!

[@northstarr7404]

Hello Miss Jamila! Ever since I have been watching your videos, it has been helpful and motivational for me to improve as a person both in how I present myself and how I manage the things around me. I put your videos on in the background as that encouraging voice as I work through my every day tasks. Thank you for your videos and for being an avenue to uplift and inspire anyone open to becoming more polished and self disciplined.

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Thank you for your kind words ✨

[@sudhamukhia9860]

When I saw you for the first time my thoughts were she looks like the Morden day Audrey Hepburn !❤

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Wow, thank you!

[@jelizavetase5272]

inner beauty is most important!

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I prefer the “Duchess Slant”, too, it’s easier to hold and more comfortable than knees together, feet flat on the floor. Plus, chairs are often too high-seated for me to put my feet flat on the floor, I’m not tall. Being able to anchor one foot against the floor really helps; as any dancer knows, turning part or all of the body on the diagonal gives more length and space, and is flattering.

[@charlenealvarez13]

Hello @jamila Thank for your lovely video lessons. I appreciate all you do. Can you please consider doing a video on the topic of how to be private in an elegant way? I prefer to keep my private life private but no matter what I seem to do, I'm always bombarded with what I feel are inappropriate, invasive questions, especially in the workplace. I would love to learn elegant ways to properly respond to overly invasive questions. My intention is never to come off as rude or to hurt anyone's feelings, but I would also like to protect my own privacy. Thank you!

[@Lovejoypeace69]

Lovely summary.

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Thank you kindly!

[@ZDAChillingworth]

What I really like a lot about Hepburn, apart from her creations and contributions to UNICEF of course, is the fact that she can maintain such level of elegance while looking perfectly natural. Girls these days can, in my opinion, quite easily mimic her posture and accent if they really want to, but most will just end up looking very stiff and give a sense that they are just trying way to hard which breaks the very impression of being elegent.

[@AlfredRoberts-eg9pt]

😅 I can see how you smile and you know too that lady was something else😊 she wasn't no joke I mean I might be a guy I know that I got a good depth on either side of education no concepts I understand it all and I know you know about perception that's why I stayed over here after I met you in a time that I shouldn't have came over here but you were so understanding you're such a good person I tell everybody that I know that I know you are good teacher that just can reallydefine. and make you understand it. You have had to see some hard times and you know how it is to be at Rock bottom I know you do you seen it over there where you live and people don't understand it but you do and that's why you're very strong willed at wanting people to do better because there's some places in this world that the next move in life was not living .and I appreciate you being on here. Everything you talk about is the all all truth, q you're always looking out for advancement.You would never be offensive .to anybody and that's amazing. . I'm a guy I have I had a mom and a sister I have more nieces than you can put into a back of a pickup so I know about this stuff and I appreciate you being here I just wanted to say that

[@mybearmymartin]

I love this video. Inspirational and motivational. I also love the OOTV that you put in at the end as well. You are my type of girl. Thank you for making this video!

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Thank you so much!!

[@leslieclementi7183]

Funny Face. Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire. Great movie. And you have validated why I keep my daughter in ballet. She genuinely loves it, but I keep telling her it will give her good posture. I have terrible posture, and I don't want her to have that issue.

[@arianahunt1073]

My daughter loves ballet. It really gives them elegance and grace.

Hi😊

[@arianahunt1073]

I agree with you about makeup. My niece went from looking unique and like herself to unrecognizable because of too much makeup.

[@walkerskii]

I'm so happy to see this, I requested you do another breakfast at Tiffany's type mock video, that was my favorite thing you've produced, Thank you for doing this.

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Thanks for the idea!

I think you are even more elegant and classy than Ms Hepburn as Ms Hepburn had some childlike vulnerability whilst you are so well put together and confident Ms Museyeva

[@JamilaMusayeva]

I think it was just a different generation ☺️

[@antoinette4729]

I, too, am a thin person. i exercise a lot and I eat a lot, more than 2000 calories a day. i did gain a bit in menopause but increased my exercise and did not get more than 15 lbs over my normal 100 pounds. However, for some reason, after age 60 I dropped to 90-92 pounds and feel the best ever! People who are thin are not unhealthy necessarily. My blood work and heart studies are normal,

[@suzanadsuza4819]

Great idea !

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Thanks!

[@Simplelivingslowliving]

Accepting compliments is one that I struggle with. I always try to explain it 😅😅.

[@ShivangiNaithani]

Jamila mam really has a hilarious side to her 😂 she had me at baking and caking 😂😂 Wonderful video as always ! ❤

[@ArpitGupta-tp1sz]

Hi😊

[@JamilaMusayeva]

😊 thank you

[@antoinette4729]

Sorry for multiple posts. Audrey Hepburn never wore her hair with tendrils down the sides. Tendrils distract from a lovely face. Pull hair back off the face even when wearing hair down. That is more like Audrey. Examine all her photos. You will not see long tendrils even though it may be a trend today, it is not "neat" and can get in food, or touch people when one turns one's head. You are not wearing tendrils on either side of your face today. Your hair is lovely.

[@Brickswithjon]

She said she was inspired by Audrey. Not a carbon copy.

My maternal grandfather’s family came from Luxembourg and France, and all of the women on that side of the family look like a Audrey Hepburn/Wicked Witch of the West hybrid.

[@JamilaMusayeva]

That is interesting

[@heidismith3678]

@@JamilaMusayeva If you saw the women in my family, you would understand. Basically, it’s like Audrey Hepburn’s face and bone structure only with a giant nose like the Wicked Witch of the West. My great grandmother was petite but her attitude was big, fierce and mean, not nice like Audrey Hepburn lol.

Being only 5' tall, my feet rarely touch the floor. It is difficult to look elegant with legs that dangle. I do sit close to the edge of a chair to help

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Jamila, promise you’ll never sun-tan your beautiful, creamy skin! Use SPF 50 on all exposed skin, every single day. When you’re my age, 63, you’ll be so glad you did! I did, after a few light tans as a teenager and one bad burn (fell asleep in the sun accidentally), I’ve used it every day and I still get frequent compliments on my “beautiful skin”. Most women my age look super-spotted, patchy, discolored and leathery because they didn’t protect their skin, especially the upper chest and neck. Besides wrinkling and other damage, even a single sunburn in a lifetime exponentially increases the risk of skin cancers. I’m acutely aware of this because my father is always having squamous cell cancers removed, once they cut his arm down almost to the bone! Not something we want on our faces.

[@siddhilipare]

Hello Jamila. I saw your video about Turn jealous into motivation. That was great video, but the thing happens with me is some people around me always try to copy me it makes me feel mad because at some point it's fine but afterwards it makes me really mad. I hope you help me with this problem. Thank you.

Stop playing yes really cool you love Audrey Hepburn so much q I know my mom spoke of her and I can tell the way she spoke to that Miss Hepburn was a good example in society she was a classy lady my mom was a classy lady to for someone that worked in a factory all her life after graduating in the ninth grade which I never did like to see her work so hard because she was very bright and this relates to my mom and you know I'm your friend now you know how much I'm your friend I'm straight.

[@ilonacheema6088]

Yes, I did liked her too. Unfortunately she died quite young. I think something like 68 only. She had cancer and she was a strong smoker too. She was unnaturally thin, not sure if I want to be like her. I could never associate health being so thin.

[@JamilaMusayeva]

I dont think her cancer was related to her smoking or thinness. Cancer happens to everyone. It is unfortunate that we lost her so young.
