Movies with Style: The Notebook

The style of the 1940’s is a favorite of mine, which is probably why I loved looking at the many costumes seen in The Notebook.Movies with Style: The Notebook

Wardrobe always plays a role in defining someone’s social status, especially in period pieces like this. There’s a definite and distinguished difference between Rachel McAdam’s character’s upper-class style in contrast to Ryan Gosling’s more simplistic look.Movies with Style: The Notebook

Rachel’s character, Allie, wore some gorgeous hairpieces throughout the film that I would want to have on my head everyday. The Notebook makes me wish I was alive in the 40s just to wear Allie’s wardrobe. What was your favorite costume from the movie?

Movies with Style: Sherlock Holmes

I have trouble not paying most of my attention to the costumes while watching a movie, and this was even more of an issue when I went to see Sherlock Holmes. Even though the film is set late 19th century London, I can still appreciate the style and design of the clothing shown throughout it. I especially loved the wardrobe of Rachel McAdam’s character, Irene Adler, which costume designer Jenny Beavan is responsible for creating. The stand-out piece was this magenta dress paired with a dark navy coat, which allowed the volume of the dress to stand-out through the back. This popping shade seemed to be the character’s signature color, appearing subtly on her lips and giving a feminine touch to one of her more masculine outfits.

Her wardrobe pieces are so diverse, ranging from very feminine to a more tough-girl look, and the magenta not only keeps the character’s many outfits cohesive, but also adds in a modern feel.

I absolutely loved the costumes and give props to Jenny for taking a risk by getting Sherlock out of his signature deerskin cap. The risk definitely paid off in the end.
