We’re not afraid to admit we’ve been sucked in to the whole Twilight phenomenon, and after spending most of New Moon slowly being tempted over to Team Jacob (Taylor Lautner) from Team Edward (Robert Pattinson), we couldn’t help but get excited when Bella (Kristen Stewart) decided to go to Italy and save her true love. After a tense meeting with Edward’s adopted (and psychic) sister Alice (Ashley Greene), the pair hop on a plane to Italy. Once there Alice acquires a Speed Yellow Porsche 911 and drives in the typical Cullen way (effortlessly fast) to Volterra to face the Volturi. Although all of this is pretty exciting, we found ourselves drooling over Alice’s outfit rather than a bare-chested Rob.
Being the family fashionista we’re not surprised to see Alice in a lovely collarless Michael Kors coat teamed with long red leather Gala gloves. Costume designer Tish Monaghan liked Alice’s: “fashion-y look from Twilight, so we wanted to continue with that. We wanted things that looked cute and feminine on her, paying more attention to detail with the little swing coat, arm warmers, and a scarf at her neck. To me, all of this was an aide of covering up parts of her body that could potentially sparkle.”
And what better way to hide her sparkly skin while keeping her suitable fashionable? Go retro of course, Tish says: “When she was going to Italy, I just had in my mind Audrey Hepburn. You have this woman driving this Porsche, which was originally supposed to be a convertible, so I wanted a beautiful scarf around her head, big sunglasses, little capris. When I mentioned this whole Audrey Hepburn look to Ashley [Greene], she said, “Ohmygod, she’s my icon!” And now Ashley Greene has become ours.
It’s the oversized sunglasses we’re interested in, and they happen to be a pair of Ray Bans – the Jackie Ohh II model. They’re extremely classy in a glossy black, and with the oversized oval shape they’re extremely retro. Teamed with a headscarf and gloves, Alice looks as pretty as a picture and make us was to hop into a convertible for a cruise (if only we had one!) Grab the Ray Ban Jackie Ohh II sunnies, or some great lookalikes, in time for the summer sun!
Is Alice Cullen the most fashionable of the family?
