I see Hanna does too. </p> <p>Okay, I was watching Private Practice last night (terrible show but it's not bad to zone out to) and I realized there's one other wardrobe I'd want: Addison Montgomery's. She has the most amazing dresses, trenches, bags, jackets, tops... even her loungewear and gym wear is fab. There are some photos here <a href="http://www.celebstyle.com/2590977" rel="nofollow">http://www.celebstyle.com/2590977</a> and here <a href="http://theglamourousgradstudent.blogspot.com/2008/12/red-heads-with-style-addison-montgomery_15.html" rel="nofollow">http://theglamourousgradstuden.....ry_15.html</a> and a bit of a description here <a href="http://blog.zap2it.com/tvfashion/2008/12/addison-montgom.html" rel="nofollow">http://blog.zap2it.com/tvfashi.....ntgom.html</a> but none of them show her great outerwear, unfortunately.</p> <p>And I'd take everything from Audrey and Katharine Hepburn's closets, too.</p> <p>I wonder if any of those choices have anything in common, or if I'm all over the map! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-43364 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 12:10:56 +0000 anne 43364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A bit late here ( catching up after my holiday). I have said before that I like the way Tina Fey dressed in the film Baby Mama. Don't know that I'd swap though, as she is taller,thinner, bustier and not a SAHM </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-42628 Fri, 09 Jan 2009 03:44:11 +0000 Anonymous 42628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm getting an odd reaction lately when I see pictures of Gweneth Paltrow, I think she is showing to much. Do any of you think so? I'm not opposed to seeing some skin, but with her lately it seems like her dresses are just too short to be classy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-42623 Fri, 09 Jan 2009 03:31:37 +0000 Ellen 42623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in for Jennifer Aniston. I know half the world thinks she's a boring dresser, but I love how she uses neutrals, always looks both polished and effortless, and how everything fits her perfectly. Also have torn out some delightful photos of Charlize Theron occasionally, though I think I like her red carpet style more than her day-to-day style. Jessica Alba often sports outfits I'd love to steal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-42529 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 23:08:17 +0000 shiny 42529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's interesting to read everyone's input! Maya, you could totally rock Marlo ... I can see it!</p> <p>Regarding Meg Ryan... I can't recall what she wore in that movie! Must not have made much of an impression on me, but since she's been mentioned several times, now I want to re-watch the movie!</p> <p>Taylor - Audrey Hepburn... yes! I would add Kathryn Hepburn as well. My legs aren't as long and I don't have her presence but wow. </p> <p>GG - I can totally see you taking over Nicole Kidman's wardrobe! Jealous... </p> <p>As for Cuddy, I agree her clothing is completely impractical for her job. Still, there's something that appeals to me anyway; as I said, I'd not wear skirts - I'd take her outfits but wear them with dark-wash premium jeans! </p> <p>Okay speaking of confessions, I'll admit that long ago I had a similar appreciation for Heather Locklear's wardrobe on Melrose Place!</p> <p>Interesting... I just realized that right now I am a telecommuter and rarely go into the office; back then, I was a SAHM.... maybe I simply miss working in an office and getting dressed for the office every day? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-42526 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 22:53:48 +0000 Laura 42526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I am with you on the 60s-70s shows. I want Mary Tyler Moore's wardrobe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-42525 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 22:32:46 +0000 Maya 42525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know this sounds weird since I am only 24 years old, but a few years ago there was a marathon of "That Girl" on Nick at Night or TV Land or one of those channels, and I fell in love with Marlo Thomas' wardrobe. I don't remember a thing about the show itself...I just liked the clothes.</p> <p>I honestly don't have a clue when it comes to celebrities or any kind of popular television. I guess I am an old lady at heart </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-42517 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 22:17:42 +0000 hanna 42517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love everything rachel bilson wears - she's in my age group, she's trendy without be over the top, and she makes me feel that her style is attainable, even with less expensive pieces </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-42507 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 21:40:28 +0000 deborahlmilne 42507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this column- such a fun way to reminisce all the wonderful movies that influence style. Since I am in my mid-fifties, I remember thinking WOW when seeing for the first time movies such as The Thomas Crown Affair, The Eyes of Laura Mars, Bonnie and Clyde (interestingly, they are all with Faye Dunaway). Since I have a small collection of vintage coats and handbags, I enjoy noting what Kyra Sedgwick wears in The Closer. I love the simplicity of Meg Ryan's wardrobe in You've Got Mail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-42498 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 21:19:07 +0000 taylor 42498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say Audry Hepburn ...with todays edge,since we are built the same I have always loved her style and it works for me..however I would pair everything with a high heel....:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-42180 Wed, 07 Jan 2009 03:53:43 +0000 cinncali 42180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For a "real life" wardrobe, I'd love to have Julia Louis-Dreyfus' clothes on "The New Adventures of old Christine." Whoever dresses her has great taste, IMO. Each show she wears at least one beautiful blouse or dress or carries an awesome bag that I want! I can totally see myself wearing her clothes if only I could find them in stores. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-42109 Wed, 07 Jan 2009 00:42:16 +0000 greenglove 42109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Dr. Cuddy's wardrobe but think that she shows way too much cleavage and wears too many cocktail party skirts for a woman in her position. Even House questions why she wears such attention getting clothes. She does have great color and style. Is she a true hourglass?<br /> Do you remember Agent 99 from Maxwell Smart? I think if I am remembering correctly that she had great clothes.<br /> Celebrity fashion. I am not well versed but Nicole Kidman seems to look great much of the time, also Gweneth Paltrow. I am sure more have caught my eye that I cannot think of right now.<br /> Did anyone see In Her Shoes? I loved Cameran Diaz' leather motorcycle jacket, jeans and scarf. She wore it alot in that movie, I would love that coat, sturdier than all the thinner refined ones around but still fitted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-42091 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 22:54:24 +0000 susan 42091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this thread! I too loved the way Meg Ryan was dressed on You've Got Mail. I think she was the actress who used to be on As the World Turns, my teenage, college and early married soap opera. I had a purple striped skirt and sweater vest that I used to love and I felt very "Meg" in it! Some of Diane Keaton's clothes have called my name too. Charlotte's clothes were definitely my favs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-42085 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 22:33:11 +0000 kellygirl 42085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd have to choose Gwen Stefani. I love her edgy modern style. I have No Doubt that I could not pull it off but it would be fun trying (sorry, couldn't resist.) I also love her shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-42080 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 21:43:43 +0000 bella 42080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun topic! </p> <p>Shiny - It is interesting that you find Cuddy's clothes well-tailored. To me, they look inconveniently tight - almost as if she can't move or even breathe freely in them, not to mention very inappropriate for her work environment. </p> <p>Chelle - we have very similar tastes. I loved Meg Ryan's clothes in that movie and I even had a similar haircut in college!:) Also, of all the SATC girls, I would definitely pick Charlotte's wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-42078 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 21:35:42 +0000 shell 42078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, this is a fun topic!</p> <p>I'll put in another vote for Chuck from Pushing Daisies! I love anything retro, and her outfits are so so chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-42070 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 20:12:02 +0000 Violet 42070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun topic! I remember when Friends was on, I liked some of Monica's and Rachel's outfits - the ones from later in the show. I do like some of Victoria's Beckham's outfits. Some are way over the top, but there's something about her style that I like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-42000 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 13:37:06 +0000 chelle 42000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think wardrobes go a long way to develop a character on TV and in a movie. The "uniform" helps us understand what they are all about. I also love the idea of having a type of uniform look but haven't been able to narrow my style yet. I'm easily distracted in the stores!</p> <p>My favorites are:</p> <p>Cute and tailored Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail (I know it is kind of old but I love everything about her in that movie - including her little book store), </p> <p>Charlotte's feminine classic character in Sex And the City</p> <p>The very casual Keri Russell in the movie Bedtime Stories. </p> <p>Very interesting topic, Shiny! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-41988 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 10:22:59 +0000 Inge 41988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a coincidence Shiny! I've been catching up on House too and I was thinking exactly the same thing! I absolutely love Cuddy's wardrobe. Like you said, she has a bit of a uniform thing going on, but it never gets boring and all her suits and blouses and tops are stunning and beautifully tailored. (I like Cameron's short-sleeved puffy blouses and vest combos too, but Cuddy's wardrobe is more sophisticated, I wouldn't mind borrowing things from her;-)</p> <p>I know there are a few more TV characters/actressess whose wardrobes I adore, but I can't seem to think of anyone else at the moment. Great topic though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-41963 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 06:43:16 +0000 Anonymous 41963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't watch very much TV either but I wanted to comment that I do think the character that Shiny started this thread with, Cuddy, does have intriguing style in the pics shown. She seems to mix several elements and the one that stands out to me is the puff sleeves on an older woman and somehow they look OK and not too juvinile. It must be the mix with the twead and the perfect tailored fit. I do like it and will have to watch the show to learn more about her style. In fact just yesterday my grand daughter told me that House is a good show to record on the DVR and she loves it. I must check it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-41961 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 06:26:36 +0000 tarzy 41961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun question! </p> <p>I can't think of a specific character right now - but - and this is going to sound really weird - I always notice the wardrobes of female detectives on TV! They usually put them in some fantastic black pants that fit incredibly well, a really nice jacket, and some great shoes (usually not practical for all the walking I would imagine a detective has to do, but hey - it's TV!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-41947 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 03:01:50 +0000 Angie 41947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fably fun quezzie. I can see you sport Dr. Cuddy’s wardrobe in an instant, Shiny. Well chosen. Thanks for the pics. I don’t watch tele so I wouldn’t have known who you were talking about! </p> <p>Mine would have to be a mixture of three wardrobes: Cate Blanchett for her fabulous couture clothing, Penelope Cruz for her everyday Euro and pretty sense of style, Kate Moss for all her edge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-41946 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 02:52:24 +0000 julijuli 41946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She doesn't have my body type but I would swap wardrobes with Kim Raver's character on Lipstick Jungle. I love what she wears - tailored, but sexy. (obviously I've been watching a little too much junk TV as well!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-41940 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 02:04:02 +0000 shiny 41940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't think that deep! Hmm... let me try!</p> <p>I definetly didn't mean this to be an exercise in "I wish I had her body." If that were the case, I'd have chosen Padma from Top Chef or Halle Berry ! This is more about "I wish I had her style," if that makes sense.</p> <p>If totally different body types, something about the actress' clothes could still provide clues to your personal style preferences. </p> <p>For example, what appeals to me about Cuddy is that her clothes are super-tailored. You can tell they are tailored - to perfection. No off-the-rack suits for her! And I like that she follows a formula; formulas (provided they leave some room for flexibility) appeal to me on a lot of levels; not just easiness but also the consistency.... like a signature. </p> <p>And I like the structure, color, and texture of the jackets she wears. There is timeliness about her wardrobe, and yet it still looks current. Finally, I like that she looks both feminine - and powerful. Maybe I've never gotten over the 80s power-suits of my early career. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-41935 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 01:46:19 +0000 Steph 41935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this question! I know I would absolutely switch with Charlotte "Chuck" Charles from Pushing Daisies. Her clothes are absolutely adorable--lots of dresses, all with a '50s/'60s look to them. They are always in bright colors or with pretty, bold prints, and often she wears hats! (The show is supposed to be a feast for the eyes, which explains the colors and hats.) For those who don't watch the show, here is an example:<br /> <a href="http://www.watchingpushingdaisies.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/Chuck_Outifts/chuck7.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.watchingpushingdais.....chuck7.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-41933 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 01:40:55 +0000 Nicole 41933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do I get to have the actresses body to go with the wardrobe? Or do I have to pick someone's whose clothes would look good on non-Hollywood me? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-wardrobe-would-you-want#post-41931 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 01:29:17 +0000 shiny 41931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With DH sick this past week, we've watched a lot more t.v. than usual. Including endless re-runs of House. </p> <p>I've become fascinated with Dr Cuddy and her wardrobe - here is a sample (though not the best example):</p> <p><a href="http://corporette.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/cuddy.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://corporette.com/wp-conte...../cuddy.jpg</a></p> <p>She sports way too much cleavage (it's t.v. afterall!), but otherwise, I've noticed that they dress her pretty much in a "uniform" of sorts: a perfectly tailored skirt-suit, usually in a gorgeous flattering color and frequently tweedy, with jacket that defines her hourglass figure perfectly, and is always kept buttoned whether sitting or standing, with a statement necklace (frequently but not always pearls). </p> <p>I don't have much occasion to wear skirt suits, but I must say, I am really drawn to her style. I would swap wardrobes with her in a minute. (Though I might wear jeans with the suit jackets!). I am wondering if this might not be a clue to my own style preferences? </p> <p>But my question, just for fun is: </p> <p>If you could swap wardrobes with any single celebrity - t.v. or otherwise - who would it be? And why? </p>
