Mine is Marianne in Normal People. I'm just rewatching it now and I just love all of her outfits, clothes and jewellery. Particularly when she moves to Dublin. Also, the summery scenes in Italy are dreamy!

Gillian Anderson in Sex Education. Wish I could pull off a pixie cut!

jesusmaryjosephandtheweedonkey · 27/05/2021 10:43

I have several
Karen in cold feet For casual chic
All of the women in the split for work wear
Carrie Bradshaw for unashamedly glamorous dressing

FeelinSpendy · 27/05/2021 10:48

@Ostara212 yes to Watson in Elementary. Wish I could pull off that look!

Diane Keaton
Cate Blanchett
Casual elegance

Jed in The Night Manager had a very fine wardrobe, and I liked a lot of Shiv Roy's outfits in Succession.

Scarby9 · 27/05/2021 21:41

Lizzie in The Lizzie Bennet Diaries on Youtube. I would wear any of her outfits.
Also a brilliant series.

Kelly Macdonald in Line of Duty - although the trousers were a bit too tapered/ ill fitting at times —overinvested—
Carrie Bradshaw
Thelma (or Louise)
Mrs Brody in Jaws - headband and high waisted sea blue jeans is my vibe!

N4ish · 27/05/2021 22:12

All the women in Call my Agent (except Arlette possibly)

EllaPaella · 27/05/2021 22:13

Carolyn in Killing Eve

Ostara212 · 27/05/2021 22:16

@EllaPaella

Carolyn in Killing Eve
Yes, though I woldn't want the cream that smells like arse!
Elverybaby · 27/05/2021 22:16

Beth Harmon in The Queen's Gambit (Anya Taylor-Joy)

Andi after she has her make over in the Devil Wears Prada.

There's a green dress she wears which is lush

Letsgetreadytocrumble · 27/05/2021 22:18

Louisa in Me Before You.

lazylinguist · 27/05/2021 22:20

Jed in The Night Manager. I know little about fashion and rarely take much notice of clothes in films or tv programmes tbh, but she was even stylish enough to distract me, albeit momentarily, from Tom Hiddlestone's character, which is frankly saying something.

3CCC · 27/05/2021 22:20

I dream of having a job where I can wear the clothes Donna and Jessica wear in suits,

Yes! Nina Proudman's Boho chic is gorgeous

Corcra · 27/05/2021 22:20

As said before, as soon as I saw the op I thought of Nina in offspring.
Agree with Sharon in catastrophe.

lazylinguist · 27/05/2021 22:21

Yes, Beth Harmon in The Queen's Gambit looked very striking too, but less the kind of clothes I'd aspire to.

TheMotherlode · 27/05/2021 22:22

Claire Underwood in House of Cards. Would love to be able to pull off her power dressing outfits.

CosyAcorn · 27/05/2021 22:24

Grace Kelly in High Society. Every single outfit in that film

ThePontiacBandit · 27/05/2021 22:24

Mrs Maisel!

EllaPaella · 27/05/2021 22:26

Also loved all of Anna Friel's wardrobe in Deep Water

HalfBrick · 27/05/2021 22:27

Another one for Sharon in Catastrophe.

ladygindiva · 27/05/2021 22:33

Anna Friel as Marcella, both series

CosyAcorn · 27/05/2021 22:33

Oh and another one that is quite obscure. There is a John Wayne movie called Hatari set in Africa. And there was this wildlife photographer in the film named Dallas and I just wanted to be her. It was the khaki action outfits plus chic dresses. Pics attached because no one I know has watched the film.

LunaNorth · 27/05/2021 22:35

Rebecca Ferguson as Rose the Hat in the Dr Sleep movie. She looks brilliant, and I now have several outfits based on her Blush
