TV and Movie Characters

[laurajade]

I have a question for you. Is there a character on TV or in the movies whose style you would love to emulate?

For me, it's Corabeth Godsey from The Waltons.

Very similar to this look of Vida Boheme in To Wong Foo.

323983

I have always had a soft spot for the "prim and proper" look, if you will.

[MonicaPVD]

My lifelong idol: Fran Drescher / The Nanny

323984

[Cheryl T]

Not really.
It's taken me decades to find who I am and develop my style and I'm happy that way.

[Stephanie47]

I totally enjoy watching Wheel of Fortune to see what Vanna White is wearing. She is in her 60's. Lately, she has been gravitating to knee length dresses. She has maintained her figure. When somebody says to dress age appropriate, all I have to do is watch Vanna White. Her "age appropriate" look transcends decades.

[Kris Burton]

This is easy for me. Mariska Hargitay as Olivia Benson, law and order SVU. Beauty + Brains = Power. Works for me every time!

[kimdl93]

I guess owing to the coloring, Scandinavian background and now?ahem?maturity, I would look to someone like Candace Bergen

[MonicaPVD]

Kris, Olivia Benson was always hot but, to me, she totally had/has "semi-passing CD" butch-ish vibes.

[docrobbysherry]

No, Laura, not one. 100's! But, I don't just think about copying them, I do it! Here's just a few of my many famous character imitations!:daydreaming:
Hopefully u will guess who they r?:daydreaming:

I am thinking of doing Minnie Pearl. or "Doris Murphy (Roseann O'Donnell)" in A league of their own. I already have the outfit. Maybe I will take a few photos this evening. Oh and I also have the Minnie Pearl outfit too.

[Linda K.]

For me it is obvious! It is either Barbara Stanwyck in The Lady Eve:

324001

or Barbara Stanwyck in Ball of Fire:

324002

The greatest set of gams ever!

[BrendaAlexandra]

Virginia O'Brien

[Charlotte Haynes]

Dorien Green (Lesley Joseph) in the woeful BBC comedy series Birds of a Feather. She is my spirit animal.

[Sometimes Steffi]

The first one that comes to my mind is Cher from Clueless.

The second one is Elle from Legally Blonde.

Olivia Benson has a very squarish face and jaw line, IMHO.

[MarinaTwelve200]

I am quite partial to Sophia Lauren and Marina Sirtis, myself.

[Karren H]

I just love the look and style of Australian actress Essie Davis!!!

324010

[NaughtyMichelle]

Classic Hollywood.

Ingrid Bergman

324011

Audrey Hepburn

324012

[Linda K.]

Ah Ingrid!! The perfect set of lips!

[Cynthia T]

Rebecca on Ted Lasso. Love her look and style.

Another thing I'd like to see is a crossdressing character on a show who is not treated as a figure of comedy, or murdered (Ally McBeal, years ago) but who is accepted as a woman.

[SarahLynn]

Ahh, Karren, Essie Davis what a glam. She has more style in the series, Miss Fishers Murder Mysteries, then half the people on the planet. My choice would be Dame Judy Dench back when she was 60 years younger. Or this loverly lady.

[Kris Burton]

I have another entry - Kate Winslet. Thinking especially of her roles as Rose in Titanic, Clementine in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, April in Revolutionary Road, Sylvia in Finding Neverland, Hanna in The Reader
She's such a great actress, and her roles are not always glam, (Mare of Eastown) but her acting skill always grabs your attention. Once again for me, beauty and brains!

[BlueTempest]

Has to be the quirky fashion sense of Emilia Clarke out of Me Before You - so much colour!

Oh this is too easy. Emily in Paris. 324077

[RachelB.]

The timeless and classic beauty of Reba McIntyre. He has been a personal favorite for many years.

[Jeanettew]

Lady Mary Downton Abbey324078324079324080324081

[SarahLynn]

Aah the twenty's. What wonderfull fashion sense they had back then

[Eve_cd]

I?ve long stated that my aesthetic goal is somewhere in the vicinity of the intersection of Peg Bundy and Morticia Addams.

[Denice]

After seeing this thread I have no idea why she came to mind

Great choices!

Samantha Stevens from Bewitched & Madonna in the wedding dress c. 1984 are a couple for me off top of head.

[Celee]

For me, it would have to be Jaclyn Smith. Still beautiful after all these years and the epitome of class.

[laurajade]

A yes, the classic foil, Margaret Dumont.

[crissy7]

Charlize Theron.Perfect.

[Kelli_cd]

I think Sandra Bullock is dreamy!

[josie_S]

Always loved Leah Remini in King of Queens. So girl next door and yet so sexy!

rebecca romijn, she was portrayed as a vindictive trans women "Alexis Meade" but tried to get rooted by asking for help from actual trans folks.

below is a funny bit she did for breast cancer awareness.....and docs current avatar....

Joanna Lumley generally, although I'll never be that slim while there's still life in my body.

Jennifer Saunders too. I can probably fit in her clothes without modification, though.

You know what, just give me the whole Ab Fab wardrobe. I'll even take June Whitfield's clothes while we're at it.

[Debbie Denier]

Elizabeth McGovern, Joan Collins, Gabrielle Drake all glamorous ladies.

[jessicabf]

Interesting to see the various posts. I think it is telling on generational differences and hints at when we each were most impressionable.

Probably some exceptions to that, too. ;-)

[lingerieLiz]

Doris Day from Touch of Mink

Doris Day from Touch of Mink, Liz Taylor in Butterfield 8 where she wore a 2 color slip, beige on bodice and cream fabric. At one time she went in a taxi with only her slip on under her fur coat.

[Vintage4sarah]

I went gaga over Cate Blanchette in her role in "The Monument Men". I love the sophisticated look and style of the 40s.

Karen Allen ever since she wore this nightgown in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Someone on Etsy makes a reproduction for about $100. I need to lose weight before I order one.
