Empress Sisi’s in Corsage, Ilse Faust’s in the Mission Impossible films (I adore the chartreuse and purple dress she goes to kill people at the opera in), Tilda Swinton’s Marianne Lane wardrobe in A Bigger Splash.

Nina in Offspring and Sharon in Catastrophe. I want their wardrobes. 💗

Gillian Anderson in Sex Education. Also the gorgeous house

In my late 20s and 30s I consciously modelled a lot of clothes worn by Milena Flaherty in "Bad Timing".

Jean Milburn from Sex Education. And her house.

One of the Eliot sisters, I'd love to say Evangeline but I'm more Beatrice. What the hell if I'm having the wardrobe I'm having the sewing room too.

Rebecca from Ted Lasso

Whyisitsosohard · 17/07/2023 07:17

I don't get the love for Rebecca from Ted lasso. She mainly wears blouses and pencil skirts, seems dated and restrictive to me but i appreciate all taste is subjective. Same with Rachel from friends, apart from a few cute aprons when she worked at the coffee shop her outfits were terrible especially for someone who worked in fashion..

For sheer amazingNESS Carrie even though I'd need her body. But the amazing dresses from s6 alone would tip it for me. I'm more of a Charlotte figure wise but Ralph Lauren is not my taste. However, I also love Serena van der woodsen (yhe riding boots and eveningwear) and Sharon from catastrophe (coloured ankle boots, fun fur).

Some people haven’t mentioned already - Judy from dead to me (I actually bought some beaded kimonos in my attempt to Imitate her) and similar vibe Kate Hudson in almost famous. Couldn't Alicia Silverstone in clueless (although I'd rather Dion's colour pathway for the plaid suit), Baby in dirty dancing (need her abs).

CwmYoy · 17/07/2023 07:42

Another vote for Agatha Raisin.

Or any woman in a Poirot.

Jean Milburn from Sex Education. And her house.

This could be a whole other thread, but I want Ricky Gervais's house from After Life. Somewhere in Hampstead right on the Heath. Bliss.

Diddykong · 17/07/2023 08:01

I'd love to be Emily from Paris but in reality know I'd look like an idiot in her gettup on the tube every morning.

I was going to say Lyra from his dark materials. That whole show had a fab 40s vibe but not in a try-hard Joanie clothing+hair scarf type way.

Jujubes5 · 17/07/2023 08:15

Lord Flashheart from Blackadder series 2

AnotherFuckingUsername · 17/07/2023 10:52

Claire Underwood (Robin Wright) in House of Cards. Stunning.

clowniform · 17/07/2023 11:02

Many of my picks have been mentioned (esp Mmes Coulter & Maisel) so adding grown-up Jo March from the GG LW: love those tweedy waistcoats and jackets

Objectionhearsayspeculation · 17/07/2023 11:43

Most of Helena Bonham Carters wardrobe in real life or characters

Judy Hale in Dead To Me.

Oh my god - yea!

Even though I'm most certainly a Jen.

Came on to say GG's Jo March - still hankering after that waistcoat. Also Bathsheba Everdene as worn by Carrie Mulligan 😍

Ooh,.I for5..CJ in The West Wing. Especially the blue Armani dress.

PaulaPennyfeather · 17/07/2023 15:22

Tilda Swinton’s character in A Bigger Splash. Sheer elegance!
