• In a 2015 interview, Miss Piggy told the website Broadly that Audrey Hepburn is her style icon. "I mean, she absolutely defined the little black dress and pearls look that has meant so much to me and so many other women. Plus, she came up with the fabulous idea of Breakfast at Tiffany's. (Without her, I would never have thought of having meals at a jewelry store. Now I do it all the time.) Naturally, over time, I've embellished and updated that look—with lots of help from designer friends like Zac Posen, Marc Jacobs, Jeremy Scott, Christian Louboutin and Jason Wu, Vivienne Westwood. Plus, I look good in anything."
