Which TV character's clothes do you covet?

I've been watching back-to-back episodes of Elementary and love Joan Watson's clothes, especially her shift dresses. I've already started to try and track down some similar designs.

What TV character's clothes do you love and would you try to dress like them?

Kalinda Sharma from The Good Wife.
I already do dress a bit like her- jackets, boots, fitted clothes.
I also like Claire Underwood and might go more for that when I'm older.

Olivia Pope in Scandal.

Dr Martens wife
and Natasha in War and Peace Grin

Temperance Brennan from Bones, certainly in the earlier seasons.

Alicia Florrick has a good suit game.

CJ's formal gowns in The West Wing always appealed to me.

Ooo I read the title and clicked to.say Watson in elementary! Most of the time her clothes seem wonderfully impractical but so stylish not necessarily figure hugging or flashy just great! Sorry gush over as you were

DoesAnyoneReadTheseThings · 30/01/2016 08:40

Ha! I came on to say Joan from elementary!

KaraokeQueenOfTheNorth · 30/01/2016 08:43

Aria in Pretty Little Liars. I'm far too old for her style but I would totally wear it all anyway if I had her figure!

harryhausen · 30/01/2016 08:59

I love Clara's style from Dr Who, but I'm way too old to carry it off.

beeny · 30/01/2016 09:00

Olivia Pope in Scandal.

scortja · 30/01/2016 09:15

Sharon from Catastrophe..

MamaLazarou · 30/01/2016 09:20

Fiona Goode from American Horror Story: Coven. Jessica Lange's character in the first (Murder House) series wears some amazing clothes, too.

SeasonalVag · 30/01/2016 10:16

Oh, yes, Sharon's stuff on catastrophe was often fab. I'd like to track down some of it but no idea how, any thoughts?

AWafferthinmint · 30/01/2016 11:02

Nicki (emilia fox) in silent witness. I am also obsessed with her hair.

iklboo · 30/01/2016 11:36

Trixie from Call the Midwife. I love 50s / early 60s clothes. Unfortunately I look more like Sister Evangelina (Pam Ferris) to wear stuff like that.

Floisme · 30/01/2016 11:41

There's been no-one since Emma Peel.

I'd possibly look a bit bonkers wearing it, but I think Lady Mary from Downton Abbey always looks gorgeous.

Scarydinosaurs · 30/01/2016 11:43

Everyone from suits!

polyhymnia · 30/01/2016 11:44

Claire Underwood in House of Cards, Joan in Elementary, several of the women on Good Wife, Gro in the Legacy, Brigitta in Borgen.

Annarose2014 · 30/01/2016 11:47

I've actually bought a couple of silky shift dresses in the past specifically because they were "Joan Watson" dresses. I got them on ASOS, but one was Vero Moda which seems to do that style a lot.

I also love Olivia Popes "wine cardigans".

sassytheFIRST · 30/01/2016 11:47

All the women from Suits. Tho I would need to lose 3 stone to look like they do in them. Grin

Monica101 · 30/01/2016 11:48

I wouldn't mind The Killing's Sarah Lund's jumper collection.

I find myself watching it and thinking I bet that cost £200 from Brora.

Wheelerdeeler · 30/01/2016 11:49

Olivia Pope

tuilamum · 30/01/2016 11:53

I know she's only a teenager but I love Lennox's clothes from Melissa & Joey
Also agree with PP about Aria in PPL

TheSpottedZebra · 30/01/2016 11:58

YY to Sharon H from Catastrophe and also Emilia fro Silent Witness.

And also Joanna Gaines from a cheesy team house makeover show called Fixer Upper.

TheSpottedZebra · 30/01/2016 11:59

Texan, not team.

Not that it's relevant.
