We know we know, we all can feel the heat from KL Fashion Week 2023 this year! Who wouldn’t be? I mean, Watsons Malaysia is the official hair and makeup partner so, how can it NOT be great? (Confidence level: Miranda Priestly).
Now, let’s switch gears a bit. Think about “The Devil Wears Prada”, that timeless fashion flick that’s etched in our minds. This film? It’s got the laughs, the flair, and a cast that’s practically a who’s who of Hollywood. Would you believe it’s been more than 17 years? And yet, it’s still delivering style tips that are on point for today’s trendsetters. Seriously, this film can’t go wrong, just like a killer outfit.
If you’re up for some seriously killer fashion advice that are seriously not for the fashion weak, then keep on scrolling!
- Build Your Outfit Around Your Shoes
Shoes play a huge role in nailing your style, they’re not just for walking, hmm obviously?! This applies to the movie we’re talking about and the fashion world at large. Shoes take the crown. They’re not just add-ons, they’re like the base layer of your entire outfit. So, if this isn’t your sign to elevate your shoes collection, then I don’t know what is.
Brownie points if you have combat boots! 😉
- Accessorise with Intention
As we follow along with “The Devil Wears Prada”, Andy’s style got a glow up from bunch of accessories that people would go crazy for, all thanks to Nigel, of course. Andy’s accessories are like the special ingredient for each outfit. They’re like the fashion secret that transforms Andy from a regular journalist into the style sensation we all love today. It’s not hard, really. Add a few well-picked pieces and voilà, your look goes up or down a notch, just like that.
- You Can’t Go Wrong with Monochrome
Come on, don’t tell me you didn’t notice any monochromatic looks in this movie. It’s all over, from everyone including Andy, Miranda, and Emily herself. I mean, think about that all-white outfit Andy slays on the streets of New York. Going for separates in the same shade, tone, or texture? That’s a classic move that never loses its appeal.
Now, I’m not saying you can’t play around with colours in your outfit, but believe me, monochrome is where the timeless style lives. It’s like a fashion guarantee, just like the title suggests, you can’t go wrong with monochrome.
- Too Much Makeup is a Red Flag
Remember that scene when Emily pulls off different eyeshadows for every outfit? Yeah, it’s memorable, but it’s also a reminder that balance is crucial. When your makeup grabs all the attention, it might be a sign to step back and re-evaluate. Just like adding that finishing touch to an outfit, makeup should enhance your look, not overpower it.
So, if you’re wondering if you’ve gone a bit too far, take a moment and ask yourself, “What would Miranda Priestly think?” Is it leaning toward an “alarmingly bold shade of lipstick”? If so, maybe consider toning it down a bit.
All in all, fashion trends are here today, gone tomorrow. So, the real trick is to always wear what makes you feel good, comfy, happy, and confident. Point blank period.
