Here at CF, we’re constantly inspired by film and TV show aesthetics. But while we’re focusing on these movies and shows as wholes, we typically overlook the fascinating, and often visually stunning, first few minutes — namely, the opening credits. 

There are so many striking title sequences out there, and we think they deserve a lot more appreciation.

So, today we’re starting a new CF series, Fashion Inspired by Opening Credits. I will be covering opening credits from films and TV shows (and I’m open to requests in the comments!), plus outfits inspired by these sequences.

So let’s kick off this column with TV, specifically three of 2017’s hottest new shows:

Opening to G.L.O.W.

GLOW, which stands for Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, is definitely my favorite show of the summer! I absolutely adore its unique storylines and diverse cast. 

The Netflix series stars Community‘s Alison Brie, who plays a struggling actress who joins the GLOW team for lack of other paying opportunities. 

Unlike most shows, the opening credits for Glow only appear in a few episodes. There is also a different song per episode. So there’s not exactly a theme song for this show. But the various themes they choose are always fun and upbeat.

Products: Top – River Island, Shorts – H&M, Sunglasses- Nordstrom, Eyeshadow – Sephora, Lip Gloss – Lord and Taylor, Sandals – Amazon

The color scheme of the opening credits – and most of Glow itself – is pink and black, so follow these colors with your outfit. 

Start off with some cute black shorts and a pink crop top to channel a female wrestler. Speaking of these gladiators, throw in a literal reference with some gladiator sandals. 

Some of the wrestlers have patriotic pride, so rock your American flag shades. To further channel the neon colors of the opening credits, paint your face with pink lip gloss and eyeshadow.
