I decided to start a
series called 'Stylespiration' where I'll be sharing tips on how to dress like
your favorite movie or book character without looking like you're wearing a
costume.
Bella Swan/Cullen has
been one of my most favorite characters for a very long time now. I thought it
would be perfect to start this series off with her.
Bella's style is
really simple and evolves as the story progresses, changing drastically when
she becomes a vampire. If you love Bella and want to emulate her style, check
out these tips…
Tops
As a human
Bella wears a lot of
basic tees, long sleeved tops and plaid button-downs with plenty of layers
since it's chilly in Forks.
Layer a long sleeved
tee with a half sleeved plaid shirt for the look from the movie where she first
meets Jacob.
For her casual
outfits, Bella pairs different tops with skinny jeans. She sticks to simple
styles, occasionally opting for delicate details at the neckline.
These are items you
can pretty much expect to already have in your wardrobe, so this casual look
should be easy to recreate.
As a vampire
Bella's style takes a
drastic turn when she becomes a vampire. She now opts for edgier, tighter tops
in dark shades.
Look for almost gothic
pieces if you want this look. Darker shades like black, charcoal, burgundy and
deep purple will work. Keep everything fitted and tailored.
Jackets
As a human
Bella wears short
jackets which reach about mid-thigh. She wears these in neutral colors like tan
and grey. Her raincoat was probably the only standout color- a bright fuchsia.
As a vampire
Bella's jackets become
very structured and edgy after her transformation. Being a vampire, she doesn't
really need to wear a jacket since she's pretty much immune to harsh weather.
Nonetheless, I love her black leather jacket. She wears it with leggings and
combat boots.
Dresses
As a human
For her senior prom,
Bella is seen wearing a cute ruffled blue dress, with a cream cropped shrug and
black tights.
Instead of the dress,
wear a flowy, deep blue top with skinny jeans or tights for a more relaxed
look.
For her birthday
celebration at the Cullens', she wears an olive green dress with a black
cropped shrug which she got as a gift from Alice.
After her wedding
ceremony, she changes into a creamy golden knee length dress with a black belt
at the waist.
As a vampire
Bella's first scene as
a vampire shows her in a skin tight cobalt blue dress, which she later rips at
the thigh so she can run at vampire speed.
She is later seen
wearing a charcoal grey dress, also skintight. She pairs this with black tights
and ankle boots.
While going to meet
Mr. Jenks, she wears a black mini dress with a long grey coat. Any fitted LBD
will work for this look.
Accessories
The accessories are
pretty minimalistic. There aren't any statement necklaces or glitzy clutches in
Bella's wardrobe. She keeps it limited to headbands, bracelets, rings and the
occasional simple necklace.
I hope you got some
stylespiration and can now pull off your own Bella look.
