‘Cause people like us, we don’t know when to stop!
Products: Dress, Coat, Heels, Headband
Queenie is the life of the party. Get everyone’s attention with a low-backed sequined shift dress and a luxurious faux fur coat. Accessorize with a matching gold headband that represents Queenie’s crown. To balance the outfit out, keep the shoes simple with black ankle-strap heels.
Kate
Love ain’t nothin’ but a whole lot of nothin’.
Products: Dress, Heels, Necklace, Headband
Kate is Queenie’s best friend and rival. Her look mirrors Queenie’s in a darker color, to reflect her more cynical outlook on life and love. To dress like Kate for your next fancy event, put on a black drop-waist dress, satiny kitten heels, and a rhinestone-studded headband. For the finishing touch, add a little more sparkle with a floral necklace.
Nadine
There’s nothing wrong with Poughkeepsie
That living in Manhattan couldn’t fix!
Products: Jumpsuit, Heels, Earrings, Clutch
Nadine, the youngest one there, is so excited to see the lights of Broadway. For a look inspired by Nadine, go a little more modern with a sparkly jumpsuit that represents the lights and buzz of New York. Put on black platform heels, a gold sequined clutch, and art deco earrings for a touch of the ’20s.
Epilogue
If you feel like you don’t have any good ideas lately, just look at both versions of The Wild Party. They use the exact same subject matter to produce two very different shows–both of which have been successful.
