Best dressed TV characters

[MyRealNamesBernard]

I'm in the middle of Season (hate that word, what's wrong with series?) 3 of House of Cards, and have been so distracted by Clare Underwood's wardrobe I've slightly lost track of the plot. Those sharp shift dresses are a joy to behold, and there was a rather stylish cream polo neck which I keep thinking about.

Does anyone else watch TV shows purely to lust after outfits? Or is it just me...?

(I remember having a similar obsession with the main characters in the House of Elliot when I was a teenager, but it was a 'costume' drama so fair game for outfit drooling).

Louisa in Doc Martin.

Dr Foster
yes yes to Alicia good wife lounge wear
don't always like Carrie in home lands suits but love her leather jacket

I haven't watched Corrie in ten years but I used to like looking at Carla's wardrobe too. I'd often recognise my own clothes (Carla, like me, was a good customer of Karen Millen).

Gillian Anderson The Fall
Dr Foster
Connie Beauchamp in Casualty

Morwenna from Doc Martin!

I quite like to see what Steph wears on gogglebox - I think because she dresses like a 40 something mum but not one who has succumbed to fleeces and mum boots

Oh! I forgot Dr.Watson (Lucy Liu) in Elementary, she's got some lovely clothes.

Ray in Ray Donovan- swooon. Idris Elba in Luther, gorgeous in his overcoats.

as burnished* already mentioned.

Abby Sciuto in NCIS, I want her clothes! (And her job, and I wish I could dress like that at work!) I also quite like Jo Danville's outfits in CSI: New York.

Nikki Alexander in Silent Witness although I never understand the stiletto heels she wears for her job...

When I was younger and a huge buffy fan I used to make lists of what she was wearing in each episode so I could try and recreate it

Jessica Lange's character in American Horror Story: Coven is the absolute epitome of style and glamour, IMO. I basically want to be her.
