The Best Looks from our Fave Rom-Coms
Romantic comedies are the ideal movies to watch whether you’re curled up in bed alone or having a chill night in with friends. The characters’ personalities are often showcased through the way they dress, making for some beautiful and memorable outfits. Here are some of my favorite looks from rom-coms.
Crazy Rich Asians
Crazy Rich Asians is a film showcasing the glamour and lavishness of Singapore’s elite, so it’s no surprise that it features some spectacular outfits.
Summer 2018 was the summer of jumpsuits, and this golden number was the jumpsuit to end all jumpsuits. Araminta looks just as fabulous as you would expect the bride-to-be in Singapore's wedding of the year to look at her bachelorette party. The jumpsuit is incredibly flattering, and the golden sparkles create a perfect ready-to-party look.
Astrid was who audiences wished they could be: powerful, beautiful, and charming. She went on to have some of the best lines in the movie, but from the moment she was introduced in this light pink dress, it was clear that she was the epitome of sophistication and elegance.
The most memorable look from Crazy Rich Asians was this blue dress worn by protagonist Rachel at Araminta and Colin's wedding. Rachel looks gorgeous as she and boyfriend Nick exchange loving gazes as "Can't Help Falling in Love" plays in the background. It's a perfect moment, and it's no wonder that this dress has been described as part of Rachel's "Cinderella moment."
You can't talk about rom com fashion without acknowledging Cher's yellow plaid outfit. The combination of the classic plaid pattern with the bright yellow color made it the perfect mixture of preppy and bold. Between the matching blazer and skirt, the yellow cardigan, and the white shirt, this outfit was perfectly coordinated.
Another plaid set, but this look feels more subtle and relaxed. The black beret and boots pair nicely with the red and black coat.
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before gave us what feels like a never-ending stream of cheesy Noah Centineo Netflix movies, but it also gave us some cute outfits to match its charming depiction of high school romance. Whether she was on a ski trip or just relaxing in her room, Lara Jean always looked put-together in a colorful and whimsical outfit.
This outfit is simple, but that adorable rainbow striped sweater looks so good with the denim skirt. Throw in a cute necklace and some sunglasses, and you've got the perfect look for sending your older sister off to college.
This is the ultimate first day of school look. It's the perfect combination of cute and vintage, and the unique shorts and combat boots make the outfit stand out.
This coat is to die for! The bold pink color is gorgeous, and the toggles are adorable. Here, Lara Jean has paired it nicely with a plaid skirt and a white button-up under a grey sweater.
Lily James stars as a younger version of Donna, Meryl Streep's character from the first movie, in which her signature outfit was overalls paired with a white blouse. This outfit shows how a younger Donna would have styled overalls, taking a yellow floral blouse and using the overalls to dress down the blouse. The pose she uses to model the outfit as well as the details like the butterfly statement necklace showcase Donna's bold, adventurous personality.
This is an absolutely gorgeous skirt that makes me wish I lived on a Greek island and communicated my feelings solely through ABBA songs. It's hard to pull off orange, but Lily James does it effortlessly here. The orange and navy also go together perfectly.
It wouldn't be an ABBA-inspired movie without some over-the-top '70s outfits. These ruffle-tiered bell bottoms paired with gold glittery tops are the perfect look for forming a girl group with your best friends.
