From playing cricket on set to posing in designer clothes, these stunning photos capture the timeless beauty of Audrey Hepburn.

Scroll through for the iconic images...
Six photographers who captured Audrey over the years — Norman Parkinson, Milton Greene, Lawrence Fried as well as Terry O'Neil, Eva Sereny and Douglas Kirkland — came together to share their favorite snaps for the book. In this picture, the actress is seen playing cricket on the set of 1967's Two for the Road, starring Hepburn and Albert Finney.
The photos, some of which have rarely been seen publicly, depict Audrey in a personal setting, while others show her at work. Photographer Eva Sereny captured Hepburn on the set of what would be her last starring role: Always, by Steven Spielberg, which was released in 1989, pictured here.
Here, Audrey looks relaxed at the Villa Rolli, in the South of Rome. She rented the villa while filming War and Peace in 1955. Parkinson photographed the star for Vogue's September issue of 1955 and Glamour US's cover story of their December issue of the same year.
Douglas Kirkland took this stunning portrait of Audrey wearing silver eye-shadow during a trip to Paris in 1965. Despite her glamorous looks, the actress was better known for her natural beauty.
Norman Parkinson photographed Audrey at the La Vigna Villa near Rome, Italy, for Glamour US in August 1955. She was filming King Vidor's War and Peace at the time.
Lawrence Fried followed Hepburn for a day in New York city in 1951 for a photoshoot for Esquire magazine. She's seen here at a NYC diner counter with her signature bangs.
Terry O'Neill captured an intimate and playful side of Hepburn in this rare picture from 1966. She is smiling with a dove perched on her shoulder.
In this picture from Lawrence for the Esquire photoshoot, Audrey picks up a sandwich at a New York City cafeteria. One of the most iconic pictures of Audrey was also taken in New York — on the set of Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Few actresses embodied the glamour and modernity of the 50's and 60's Hollywood era like Audrey Hepburn. Here, she is photographed in a fuchsia evening gown by Lawrence Fried for American Magazine.
Norman Parkinson took this picture of Hepburn as Gigi during their first meeting on January 24, 1952. The actress was 23 years old at the time.
Douglas Kirkland worked with Audrey Hepburn on a series of iconic portraits for the film How to Steal a Million and again, a decade later, for the film Robin and Maria.
A deliberately color-enhanced version of Audrey standing up in this dress, captured by Parkinson, appeared on the cover of Glamour in December 1955. The photoshoot took place in Rome, Italy.
The actress dons a raffia hat for her photoshoot with Milton Greene at the request of Look Magazine. Hepburn was as well known for her hats as she was for her other fashions.
Look magazine sent Milton to Malibu in September 1953 to photograph Audrey while she was filming Sabrina. This impromptu series of images features Audrey on the beach and at her Malibu bungalow.

The book boasts a series of images of Audrey Hepburn backstage and in her dressing room at the Fulton Theater around 1951 during the run of Gigi. The theater was renamed the Helen Hayes Theater in 1955.

Shortly after Parkinson took this photo in January 1952, Hepburn was cast as Princess Ann in Roman Holiday, her breakout film. The movie was so successful, Hepburn was skyrocketed into fame.
Audrey Hepburn's petite figure fascinated both photographers and fashion editorials, making her one of the most photographed stars of her era.
Some of the most iconic images of Audrey by Norman Parkinson, also captured during this session, were when Parkinson asked the young actress to stand in front of vibrant bougainvillea. The dress she's wearing here is by Givenchy.
Here, Hepburn is playful with photographer Terry O'Neil on the set of How to Steal a Million in 1966. The timeless movie is still popular and has a 100 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes.
O'Neil also caught this snap of Hepburn hanging around the set of Two for the Road, which was filmed in the south of France and released in 1967. She co-starred in the movie along with Albert Finney.
