Film directors are no strangers to fashion ads. They’re often a beautiful marriage between style and cinema, one that we’re going to visit from time to time in a new series on LauLauLand, Film Directors Doing Fashion Ads (ingeniously titled, I know). First up is Yorgos Lanthinmos, a name that went stratospheric last year thanks […]

Regal rebellion – Margot’s style in The Royal Tenenbaums
Margot Tenenbaum. The queen of conservative style blended with an air of rebellion. Margot’s luxurious fur coats and Birkin bag are set against girly barrette hair clips and preppy polo dresses, finished with a melancholic edge thanks to a solid serving of heavy black eyeliner. Gucci is constantly referencing her, she makes moody cool, and […]
Oh, sugar. How to create your own sweet moments from Marie Antoinette.
Watching Marie Antoinette made me want to eat some pastries, go to Versailles and buy a corset (you’d need one after scoffing the cream cakes like the ladies in this film). From the movie dream queen that is Sofia Coppola (Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation), you can only expect beautiful things from this cult classic. […]
Meryl and the trench coat of dreams – Fashion moments from Kramer Vs Kramer
I’ve always wanted a Burberry trench, and Meryl demonstrates just why we all need one in our wardrobes while playing subtly stylish Joanna Kramer in Kramer Vs Kramer. See also, lots of pared-down basics, cream and camel tones, silk blouses worn with pearl earrings, and a courtroom wardrobe that puts all those preened DUI-charged celebs […]
Style like a Queen. Fashion moments from The Favourite.
I don’t know how The Favourite got on at The Oscars last night. I am currently on media lockdown on account of not staying up until the wee small hours in the UK to watch (I did it for Leo in 2016, but I’m 30 years old, 5am bedtimes are just TOO MUCH). So while […]
Yes you can work some teenage girl style into your adult wardrobes. Fashion moments from The Virgin Suicides.
I’m kicking off this year’s LauLauLand posts with my new monthly StyleXCinema roundup, showcasing all the films I find that are packed with style inspiration. It’s no secret that I’m a little obsessed with The Virgin Suicides (you can find my VS inspired dress here). Sofia Coppola’s masterpiece is iconic in its style. Dreamy, nostalgic […]
5 female horror movie characters that don’t suck
It’s almost Halloween. That means gorging on candy and gorging on gore, ergo, a marathon of horror movies. It has often been said that female horror characters are a bit – for want of a better word – sucky. But that doesn’t mean they all play to the stereotype of the damsel in distress. Here […]
5 of the best Coppola Girl style moments
Oh, Sofia queen of style. Anyone who’s ever watched a Sofia Coppola film will know the director’s inimitable ability to ooze effortless style. Sofia set the bar high with dreamy directorial debut The Virgin Suicides and then she just kept on going with the likes of Lost in Translation, The Bling Ring and most recently […]
An interior nod to the great Wes Anderson
Ah Wes. No film style blog would ever be complete without him. I do have a long list of specific Wes Anderson films that I intend to nod to in future outfit posts, but for now, I thought I’d create a little corner of my home dedicated to the doyen of cinema. Of course, I […]
