Ariyah, pictured above, amped up the glamour factor when she added a cape to her tres ornate look. I think The Incredibles‘ Edna Mode had a point when she said that capes are not meant for superheroes. They’re certainly not practical. But legendary film costume designer Edith Head—who actually inspired Edna Mode’s hilarious character—didn’t think twice before decking Audrey Hepburn in capes.
