Geek Chic: Fashion Inspired by The Hunger Games

Though only Effie Trinket actually enjoys the reaping, you can inject some fun into the outfit with your accessories: The bracelet recalls Prim’s pet goat, Lady, who also provides a minor source of income to the Everdeen family. Carry your belongings in a tooled leather bag emblazoned with a soaring bird. (We’ll say it’s a mockingjay.) Finally, for those of you who have read the books, the cute duck earrings reference the moment when Katniss decides to volunteer in the place of her sister.

Denizens of the Capitol

The wealthiest and most powerful citizens of Panem reside in the Capitol. In stark contrast to the impoverished districts, the Capitol is a veritable hive of debauchery, gluttony, and materialism. To Katniss, the Capitol citizens’ behaviors and appearances are equally outlandish.

Capitol citizens gorge themselves on rich foods and then take vomiting pills so they can feast again. In the name of fashion, Capitol residents do everything from implanting jewels in their faces to covering their bodies in ornate tattoos to dying their skin. Effie Trinket and Caesar Flickerman, the television interviewer for the Games, are perfect examples of the ostentatious styles that dominate the Capitol.

Product Information: Dress, Heels, Fascinator, Belt, Bangles, Clutch, Lipstick, Eyeliner

While you certainly don’t have to go to the extremes that they do, Capitol-inspired outfits will definitely speak to you if you’re a glitz and glamor kind of girl. Effie Trinket’s attire is all about making a statement with volume and color, so this frilly turquoise dress definitely fits the bill. Hot pink is a great complement to teal, so slip on a towering pair of strappy platforms and swipe on bold lipstick in that shade.

If you’re still feeling the aftereffects of Kate Middleton mania, this is the perfect time to try out a fascinator. (Effie would love this feathered confection!) Add even more pizzazz with gleaming bangles and a metallic belt. Finally, tuck a purple clutch under your arm and apply a smoky eye in a similar hue.
