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?

How could I forget Essie Davis's Miss Fisher wardrobe? She always looks fab!

Xmasbaby11 · 31/01/2016 15:52

Olivia Pope from Scandal.

Alicia in the good wife.

Carla from Corrie.

Doctor foster.

Nikki Alexander in silent witness.

I'd need to lose a few stone though for any of them!

Not a character but Alex Polizzi worked some good dresses and shoes in her Italian islands series.

I liked Rachel from friends wardrobe in the final couple of seasons... But then I'd also need her figure!

Cerseirys - I couldn't believe no-one had mentioned Miss Fisher yet, thank you for restoring my faith in humanity lol. For everyone who loved House of Elliot, the wardrobes in miss Fisher are just as good. I'd love everything she wears but I'd need to time travel or I'd just look mad ;)

Gillian Anderson in The Fall

ProjectPerfect · 31/01/2016 16:07

Jessica from suits - I've spent ages trying to track down some of her most fab outfits

CuntWagon · 31/01/2016 16:18

Zoe Hart and Lemon Breeland in Hart of Dixie.

MrsUnderwood · 31/01/2016 16:19

I second Gillian Anderson's blouses in The Fall. I also love all the female characters in Hannibal's style, particularly Alana Bloom.

MsAlbertine · 31/01/2016 16:21

Lesley Judd Blue Peter circa 1974

Cookie in Empire

Not really for real life -- it but I love her wardrobe for her character.

Cerseirys · 31/01/2016 16:31

The fabulous Miss Fisher.

And I remember coveting the clothes Essie Davis wore in The Slap too!

Alicia Florrick in The Good Wife. Also covet her eyebrows.

Rachel in Friends.

Micah · 31/01/2016 17:34

Cam from bones.

ExConstance · 31/01/2016 18:02

Emilia Fox in Silent Witness, all very ordinary but perfect.

Cocolepew · 31/01/2016 18:20

The women in Suits
Alicia from The Good Wife
And Claire Underwood, she's spectacular.

hazeyjane · 31/01/2016 18:34

Agent Carter

Chocolateteabag · 31/01/2016 19:12

YY to Joanne Gaines in Fixer Upper

She has that cool cowgirl but hip mom of 4 (!) look I might hate her slightly

HermioneWeasley · 31/01/2016 19:32

Not TV, but Rene Russo's character in the Thomas Crown Affair. She looks amazing in every scene

TheHumanSatsuma · 31/01/2016 19:37

Not TV, but I love Judi Dench's clothes in Best Marigold Hotel.
I try to look like that but end up looking like a deranged old hippy.

beautyadoration · 01/02/2016 01:10

Mary Margaret from OUAT (not the awful Snow White outfits) and Aria from PLL :-) I love most of the outfits they wear!

ItGoesWithoutSaying · 01/02/2016 10:44

Reading this the ones that made me nod are Kalinda (Good Wife), Clara (Doctor Who) and Sarah Manning (Orphan Black).

whothefuckhas5children · 01/02/2016 10:54

Diane Lockhart from Good Wife
Alicia Flortick from Good Wife

Love their suits and would love to be able to afford to dress like them for work. I dress up but not at that level of Style.

Cleorapter · 01/02/2016 20:05

Olivia Pope from Scandal. Her wardrobe is amazing.

midnightmoomoo · 01/02/2016 20:26

Olivia Pope from Scandal and yes to the House of Elliot outfits!!
