Pixie Lott once stepped into some very iconic shoes — quite literally — when she took on the role of Holly Golightly for the stage adaptation of the highly acclaimed 1961 American romantic comedy film Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

At just 25, the British pop star faced a wave of mixed reviews for her performance, with some critics noting she struggled to match the impossible standard set by Audrey Hepburn’s legendary portrayal.
