Oh hello! Remember me?! Yeah I'm the girl who states she'll start posting more often at the end of each blog post...And never sticks to her word. Ooopsies.
But now I'm going to be making more of an effort as I've always got some sort of post ideas swirling around my head!
Lets get back into it!
Every time this movie is on TV there’s no doubt that I’ll be
glued to the television, quoting my way through the duration. Needless to say
it’s one of my favourite films of all time. Nostalgia making me want to relive
the 90s, but this time in Beverly Hills.
Despite the film being a typical love story, boy meets girl,
boy falls in love with girl but with the restraint of social class this cannot
happen, it’s also a great film to portray different styles of fashion in the nineties.
Vivian (Julia Roberts) is probably one of my favourite characters to do this as
her taste in fashion evolves throughout the film, as well as her character. I
mean as much as the thigh high boots were her statement look in the beginning,
no one can dispute that the red ball gown that Vivian wears to the opera is the
balls. Only in Pretty Woman this could happen. That’s why it’s so great.
Furthermore, the transition from Vivian walking into the
boutique for the first time and getting turned down to Vivian walking in
looking completely different. “Big mistake. Big.
Huge. I have to go shopping now.” It’s just brilliant.
And here's why I love Vivian Ward's fashion:
As you can see at the start of the film Vivian's character looks almost like a badass, even though we all know she isn't (that is if you've seen the film!) with her wild and unruly hair, which I'm so jealous of, short skirts and the trusty thigh highs. But as the film progresses her style develops her into a Pretty Woman (excuse the pun). It's all about the midi length dresses, understated shades of nudes, subtle patterns and the perfect up do.
However, as much as I admire the elegant side of Vivian's style, there's something so effortless with the white shirt and body con skirt that is seen on the second picture.
What do you think of Vivian's style?
Do you have a film character who's style you envy?
Until next time,
