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!

Drew Barrymore in The Wedding Singer. I have coveted that hairdo since the very first time I watched it. Sigh. Lucky Drew!

Everyone in Call My Agent
Not a fictional character, but Esme from the Sewing Bee is always incredibly chic Smile

I was trying on ANOTHER leather jacket the other day and realised how much I have internalised Sarah Michelle Gellar's style from Buffy from around S3 onwards.

Also Mrs Coulter's outfits in the Northern Lights adaptation were amazing.

Mary Margaret Blanchard in Once Upon a Time

Joan Harris in Mad Men

Diane Lockhart in The Good Wife (esspecially the fab jewelry that she wears)

Phillipins Leroy-Beaulieu in CMA and Emily in Paris.
She is equisite in both and I like to think rocking her own style.

@BruceAndNosh haha, you make a good point. I am not the elegant petite brunette that Marianne is come to think about it!!

@JMAngel1 oh yes, Emily in Paris. I loved Camille's style in that. She is absolutely stunning!

Another vote for Andrea in Call My Agent (also have the biggest crush on her ever), Judy in Dead to Me and both Bonnie and Celeste in Big Little Lies

ClaireEclair · 28/05/2021 06:34

Narcissa Malfoy (Draco’s Mum) in the Harry Potter films. High end Goth chic. I also love Dita Von Teese and Susie Cave.

icelollycraving · 28/05/2021 06:47

Oh, I love this thread!
Marty Maraschino (you know, like in cherry) at the National Dance Off in Grease.
Joan in Mad Men
Margot Leadbetter
Charlotte in SATC
Marilyn Monroe in How to Marry a millionaire
Beverley in Abigail’s Party
Alexis Carrington in Dynasty
In real life, I’m basically Pam from Gavin & Stacey/Viv from No Offence.

@Chienloup

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.
@chienloup I know what you mean. I say I'd like to dress like Betty Draper but in reality my figure is more Joan.

I love Mahoney from mr magorium's wonder emporium. Her look is everything I would be if I wasn't overweight with massive boobs.

As a presenter, I adore Angela scanlon's style. Again, I have the wrong body shape for her wardrobe.

FedNlanders · 28/05/2021 07:13

Francie in Grace and Frankie Star

doadeer · 28/05/2021 07:15

Alexa from Schitts Creek ❤️

ThePawtriarchy · 28/05/2021 07:35

Sandra Bullock in Practical Magic, but I’d need to live in the film.

@CosyAcorn

Grace Kelly in High Society. Every single outfit in that film
Oh yes! Especially that tea dress she wears on the wedding day.
