The Queen’s Gambit Fashion: How to Copy Beth Harmon’s Outfits
- Neutral colors: stick to white, black, different shades of brown. Any use of color is muted, which isn’t necessarily representative of the 1960s, more so of the aesthetic of the show.
- Checkered prints: We are, in fact, watching a show about chess, and there is no shortage of reminders of that fact.
- Collars: from pussy bows to peter pan collars, there is a big focus on what Beth wears around her neck, which makes sense since she’s playing chess and all we see is above a table.
- Simplicity: Beth always looks sharp, at the top of her game, and when she doesn’t, it’s because she’s spiraling. So, when taking fashion advice from her, your outfit has to always look cohesive.
Also, some ideas for replicating her full look, including hair and makeup:
- Beth always parts her hair to the side and it’s perfectly kept, voluminous and shiny, with one full, bold color running through.
- Makeup: sharply defined lips, full brows, red blush and perfect eyeliner.
Here is how you can copy Beth’s looks from The Queen’s Gambit:
The Queen’s Gambit Outfits: Ending Scene Look
Products: Sweater, Gloves, Coat, Pants, Lipstick, Beret, Boots
Yes, I’m going to start with the last scene because the perfection hasn’t yet left my mind. Beth ventures off in a fully white ensemble, with the exception of a roll neck black shirt (which makes several appearances throughout the series).
To copy her style, you’ll need all white everything: a long coat, straight pants, gloves, go-go-ish boots and of course, a beret. The outerwear inspiration is perfect and right in time for this winter.
Finish off your look with a raspberry lip tint. This one from Glossier will give you the natural stained look Beth has in The Queen’s Gambit.
