Big Little Lies Fashion: How to Dress Like the Monterey 5
HBO’s hit drama Big Little Lies returned on June 9th for a star-studded second season.
Following on from the unprecedented success of the first season, this who-dunnit murder mystery series features Hollywood heavyweights such as Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman and — starting this season — Meryl Streep.
Based on the bestselling novel by Liane Moriarty, Big Little Lies tells the story of five very different women from the town of Monterey, California. In the first episode, we learn of a murder at the town’s trivia night, though neither the perpetrator nor the victim is revealed until the final episode. Throughout each chapter, we get a glimpse behind the seemingly perfect lives of the families in this seemingly perfect town.
Today I’m marking Big Little Lies‘ triumphant return with a fashion inspiration post on the women of this star-studded show. These ladies are classy, sassy and oh-so-stylish, so whether you’re a Maddie or a Bonnie, here are five looks inspired by your favorite members of the Monterey 5.

Madeline
Madeline Martha Mackenzie (played by the unstoppable Reese Witherspoon) is the classic type-A personality of this unlikely friendship quintet. In season 1, we are introduced to Madeline when a chance encounter with new Monterey mom Jane Chapman leads to an unlikely friendship.
Madeline lives in a beautiful coastal-view house with her husband Ed and daughters Abigail and Chloe. However, Abigail’s father Nathan has also remarried and has a new family with Bonnie. Much of the conflict surrounding Maddie’s storyline has to do with this fact, as well as the revelation that she was unfaithful to Ed prior to the show’s events.
