Lucy Liu in Elementary
Rachel Bilson in Hart of Dixie
Can't think of anything more recent.

I'm far too old for them now but adored Blair Waldorf wardrobe in Gossip girl, wouldn't mind Serenas either.

Andrea Martel in Call My Agent (the French version) - all those fabulous jackets and boots. But I'd need her figure as well Grin

Also have a love for all Meg Ryan's outfits (with exception of the NYE dresses) in When Harry Met Sally.

@MassiveOvaryaction ooh thank you! I just. Red a sale to knock £100 off the price😂

I had the same thought. Seems like the character has realised it was an expensive purchase too as she wears it in more than one episode Grin

Oh me too stringbean I first saw When Harry met Sally when it came out and it's been fascinating watching her outfits go out of fashion and then come back around again - and yes with the exception of that dreadful Princess-Diana's-wedding knock off on New Years Eve.

JMAngel1 · 16/01/2024 09:42

Sylvie in Emily in Paris - just divine.
Also, the same actress in Call My Agent.

thechangling · 16/01/2024 09:54

I loved the clothes that Birgitte, the PM in Borgen, wore. She always looked so cool and sophisticated. I'd have her wardrobe in an instant.

Ormside · 16/01/2024 09:59

Beth in 'The Queen's Gambit.'

Ridingthegravytrain · 16/01/2024 10:04

Bit niche but Hong-Joo from Tale of the nine tailed 1938

PrincessHoneysuckle · 16/01/2024 10:12

Michelle keegan in fool me once

beguilingeyes · 16/01/2024 10:13

I joined this thread to also write Gillian Anderson in this. She looked phenomenal. I also loved Nicola Williams wardrobe in the Split as a PP mentioned.

Totally agree. Also with Rene Russo’s outfits from the Thomas Crown Affair. I’d also include the coats worn by all the female characters in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, amazing tailoring.

MorrisZapp · 16/01/2024 10:21

Magpie Murders here too, she was just so cool.

Squiblet · 16/01/2024 10:44

Beth in 'The Queen's Gambit

Am watching this now and 100% agree! Some incredible tailoring.

Have you noticed they mainly dress the sorority girls in pastels, and Beth in black and white - chessboard colours

Sparklypen · 16/01/2024 11:27

Agree re Lesley Manville in Magpie Murders. I googled one of her jumpers at the time - think it was from Anthropologie.

Also all the female characters on the Split. I was sure the actresses wanted to be in The Split mainly for the clothes.

And I loved the way that in the final series Annabel Scholey's character's clothes improved as she got her shit together.

Yes and I love the very last scene of QG.

RockGirl · 16/01/2024 14:42

Yes she's the White Queen at the very end.

Riverlee · 16/01/2024 14:43

Audrey Hepburn clothes as well - love those black and white fifties movies.

Squiblet · 16/01/2024 16:50

gahhh you just spoilerised it for me 🙃

ThreeTescoBags · 16/01/2024 16:55

Blake Lively in A Simple Favour and Age of Adaline and gossip girl... Come to think of it, I just want to be Blake Lively.

nottoday300 · 16/01/2024 17:43

Ashley Jensen - Agatha raisin

sprigatito · 16/01/2024 17:46

Bellatrix Lestrange. But I'd need her figure as well, else I'd look like a hippo draped in torn up bin bags

Mairzydotes · 16/01/2024 17:52

Sheridan Smith in Jonathan Creek - mid 00s boho.

Kate Beckett in Castle.

Jb566 · 16/01/2024 17:55

Particularly the tank tops worn in last night’s episode 15/1/24, I loved them. Dr Alexander is always stylish as is Emelia Fox

hashisucks · 16/01/2024 20:05

Emilia Fox wears a lot of Wyse London in real life and as Dr Nikki. I’ve spotted a bit of Isabel Marant and probs Me and Em in there too.
