The Question of Our Time
What would Audrey Hepburn say about social media and celebrity culture in 2026?
I think she would gently warn against mistaking visibility for purpose. Audrey understood that a camera's gaze can be intoxicating, but she believed true elegance lay in what you *did* with that attention—not in being seen, but in seeing others. She would likely encourage young people with platforms to ask themselves: Am I speaking about myself, or am I speaking *for* someone who has no voice? That distinction, she would say, is everything.
