I love movies. Love them til there's nothing left to love. The one thing I love more than movies is movies with great fashion. There are a lot of amazing costume stylists out there in Hollywood and my god, this industry would be nothing without them!
I was recently watching The Talented Mr. Ripley and was blown away by the costumes. This movie is perfect. Perfect scenery, perfect pacing, perfect suspense, perfect actors, and most importantly, perfect wardrobe. I was sitting down, thinking to myself,
wow, everything they're wearing is spot on and
hey, that seems like something I would wear which is even more amazing because this film came out in 1999. That's right, 11 years ago! It goes to show how timeless this film has become.
The story follows a very young Matt Damon (fresh off his Oscar win for Best Writing shared with Ben Affleck for Good Will Hunting) who plays Tom Ripley, who in short is a lying, manipulative, homosexual psycho who goes to great lengths to get what he wants with no regard to whoever he hurts. Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Cate Blanchett also star in the thriller that received 5 Oscar nods (one of them being Best Costume Design). If you're up for an amazing oldie during the winter months before us, check this movie out. I know it may not be in the norm of someone's cup of tea, but trust me: It will have you saying
what the hell in the best way possible.
Below are some screen grabs from the movie:
