Audrey Hepburn's Granddaughter, Emma Ferrer, Steps Into the Spotlight for the First Time

While Lady Gaga has been featured on the front of Harper's Bazaar's September newsstand issue, a 20-year-old Emma Ferrer has graced the cover of the subscriber edition.

Ferrer, whose grandmother is the extremely famous Audrey Hepburn, made her modeling debut in her first ever magazine spread.

The brunette beauty posed in a Lanvin gown with a black-sleeved top and a loose-fitting skirt that strikingly resembled her grandmother's classic and timeless style. She also had her hair pulled back in a chignon with her earrings drawing attention to her well-defined bone structure.

Ferrer, who was born one year after her grandmother died in 1993, is the daughter of 54-year-old Sean Ferrer, Hepburn's oldest son, and is currently in her third year at the Florence Academy of Art.

She appears in a spread for the September issue of the magazine as a tribute to her iconic grandmother, posing and imitating Hepburn's famous looks.

Interestingly, 23-year-old Michael Avedon had been in charge of shooting for the spread; Avedon is the grandson of Richard Avedon, who was known for photographing Hepburn numerous times back in the day.

Growing up and spending much of her life in Italy, Ferrer will be packing her bags and moving to New York next year to carry on with her studies. In the accompanying interview with Harper's Bazaar, she mentioned that her notion of her grandmother is somehow evolving.

"The first images I have of her are, interestingly enough, when she was quite young," Emma says, "I remember seeing a photo of her jumping on a trampoline-I believe this was before I understood that she was famous. But I remember thinking that she looked like a friend I wish I could have had."

Later on, the first-time model explained to the magazine that she has not watched all of Hepburn's films yet. Nonetheless, she owns a couple of the Hollywood star's belongings, including cashmere turtlenecks and a white stuffed teddy bear.
