We’ve all looked to celebrity style for fashion inspiration at some point in our lives. But it’s one thing to say “I love her outfit,” and it’s another to actually copy it in real life.

For this series, I’m
going the extra mile and making it happen. Each week, I’m getting inspiration
from a celebrity and copying five of her looks as closely as possible. Then,
I’m reporting back to you: Did the outfits work in real life? Did I feel
comfortable? Did people treat me differently? I’m sharing it all.

In past posts I’ve dressed like Zendaya, Gigi Hadid, Grace Kelly, Kendall Jenner, Vanessa Hudgens, Sophie Turner, Priyanka Chopra,  Millie Bobby Brown, Hilary Duff, Lily Collins, Taylor Swift, Iconic Halloween Characters, Selena Gomez, Alexa Chung, Iconic Christmas Characters, Rachel Green Part 1 and 2, Queer Eye’s Fab 5, Monica Geller.

This week, I’m creating modern takes on the costumes from Greta Gerwig’s Little Women.

Little Women (2019)

By now you’ve probably heard all about Greta Gerwig’s 2019 film adaptation of the classic novel Little Women. As we mentioned in our post on Little Women fashion, this film differentiates itself from the other adaptations (there have been eight) by taking on an anachronistic structure and a focus on the March family overall instead of just following Jo.

Since the film is a period drama, the costumes are incredible and are a major tool to distinguish each of the sisters’ character and personality. It may not surprise anyone to learn that the film won an Academy Award for Best Costume Design. Jacqueline Durran, the costume designer, has worked on quite a few period dramas, like Pride and Prejudice (2005), Atonement (2007) and Anna Karenina (2012) and this was her second Oscar win.
