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!

Another aspiring Betty Draper here.

And Charlotte from SATC. Some of Carrie's stuff was a bit too out there for me but Charlotte always looked elegant and glossy.

Stevie Nicks.

Tilda Swindon in A Bigger Splash.

I also love Linda Cardellini’s boho chic in Dead To Me, and yes to Sharon Horgan in Catastrophe.

Going back a bit, Cate Blanchett looked amazing in Notes On A Scandal.

I love so many of these, but notice how many of these women have chic small breasts. No way could I pull off many of their looks.
How stylish is it actually possible to be with 34GG boobs? It makes me sad. I'd love to be able to wear stuff like Jed in the Night Manager, or Anna Friel, or Tilda Swinton, but I couldn't wear their clothes.

@Willlow

Emilia Fox in Silent Witness
Totally agree.

Anne (of green gables) when she was elegant around the time of Morgan Harris ... definitely not the crap she wore in the Continuing Story even her shoes were too bloody big

Gazelda · 27/05/2021 22:59

Faith Howells in Keeping Faith. Her shoes, her coats, her earrings.

It helped that she is a bad-ass queen.

@OutComeTheWolves

Sharon in catastrophe
Yes! I came here to say the same.
OldWivesTale · 27/05/2021 23:00

Same as you. Marianne in Normal People after she moved to Dublin

Lily James character in The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.

Andrea in Call My Agent

Divebar2021 · 27/05/2021 23:05

I’m also crushing on Andrea in Call My Agent - striking and beautiful but also strong looking. I enjoy the fact she carries the same bag and wears the same coats rather than having a new outfit in every episode

orangejuicer · 27/05/2021 23:05

Meg Ryan in You've got mail sigh

chuggabo · 27/05/2021 23:06

Alexis in Dynasty. Jessica Pearson in Suits. Servalan in Blakes Seven.

Power that is both intelligent and sexy. Could never pull it off myself- but a houndstooth pencil skirt and a bright lip and I feel a bit stronger in myself.

Whitewolf2 · 27/05/2021 23:11

Cher from clueless

Pumpkinpops · 27/05/2021 23:12

@orangejuicer I dream of that grey (?) dress she wears at the end.

Agree with Marianne from Normal People. I may have put together some copycat outfits Blush. The shirred dress from Arket is my Tuscan sundress (hope I get to wear it at some point).

Also love Sharon Horgan in Catastrophe and Andrea in Call My Agent. I like lots of the clothes in Motherland too.

BruceAndNosh · 27/05/2021 23:19

However this style only works if you look, sound and move like Ms Anderson.

Ooh I'll have to think as there are probably loads but another vote for Mrs Coulter in His Dark Materials, and I want Trudy from Mad Men's night dress wardrobe Grin

heyyellowyellow · 27/05/2021 23:25

Sharon Horgan. I may or may not have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to her...
