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.

Not only does her hair look shorter, but so does her hemline. Love the dress and considering her great legs, it suits her well.
