Stage-Inspired Fashion: Mamma Mia!

From the costumes to the set, from the words of the script to the movements of the actors, everything on stage tells a story. Stage-Inspired Fashion explores ways to add a little dramatic flair to your style.

Mamma Mia! is closing next month after 14 years and 5,773 performances, making it the eighth longest-running Broadway musical. As someone who once had all of the words to all of the songs memorized, I’m sad to see it go.

And all I’ve learned has overturned– what can I do?

Bathing Suit, Shirt, Shorts, Shoes, Hat

This song is one of my favorite moments in both the show and the movie. As Sophie and her fiancé, Sky, confirm their love and attraction for each other, a chorus of Sky’s friends appear on the beach in scuba gear and flippers and perform a dance routine.

Have a wonderful day at the beach in this classic white one-piece bathing suit and white flip-flops. If you want to cover up, reach for these high-waisted denim shorts and burgundy crochet crop top. The deep, beautiful color reflects the sexiness and passion of the song. Finally, shield your face from the sun with this adorable floppy sun hat that is reminiscent of the flippers.

Finally, no article about ABBA or Mamma Mia! would be complete without a mention of…

Dancing Queen

You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen…

Jumpsuit, Sweatshirt, Shoes, Rings, Necklace, Bag

Donna’s best friends, Rosie and Tanya, sing “Dancing Queen” to convince Donna that her glory days are not behind her. Get ready for a night on the town in this modern take on a 1970s jumpsuit and fabulous pink platform heels. Bring along a printed sweatshirt in case you get cold and a fringed suede purse to carry your essentials. Finish off the outfit with a collection of stackable rings and a crown necklace that shows you’re the queen.
