Bonnie wants to be an “it” girl, a big-time movie star like Clara Bow. Modernize her look with a chevron-patterned dress that references the real Bonnie Parker’s dress. Layer a longline dark blue shirt on top and add lace-up black heels for a cool-girl vibe. Replace Bonnie’s signature beret with a beanie, and finish the look with dramatic eyeliner inspired by Clara Bow.
This World Will Remember Me
I don’t intend to waste my life ’round here.
I got it all mapped out.
If I can pull just three jobs a year,
I’ll be rich, I’ll have wealth and fame,
Everyone will know my name.

Clyde’s costumes alternate between “roughed-up outlaw” and “Sunday best.” Just like Bonnie, he wants to be a celebrity.
Get Clyde’s combination of roughness and romance by pairing a delicate lace shirt with sturdy blue chinos. Throw a cozy brown flannel on top and add pointed-toe boots. Clyde doesn’t go out without his hat, so finish the outfit with one made of burgundy felt.
Bonnie
I start thinkin’ ’bout my Bonnie
From the minute I wake up,
And that feelin’ is the best I ever had.

Before the final showdown, Clyde serenades Bonnie from the bathtub (still wearing his hat, of course). Despite their questionable moral codes, the two of them really love each other.
For an outfit that’s both sweet and sexy, wear this silky gray shift dress with black thigh-high socks and 1930s-inspired heels. Add a velvet bow choker and a burgundy cardigan – the color symbolizes both love and violence.
