Lez-be-honest: CAROL is divine.

Beyond Cate‘s porcelain skin (and paper-thin lips), and Mara‘s doe-eyed expression, the costumes are where the definition of LIFE is met between audience members and the silver screen. Award-winning Sandy Powell crafted exquisite reds and peach tones that will have you yearning for a spring awakening in your chiffon department. With no further adou, here’s my top ten CAROL costumes.

TEN

This fur coat quickly becomes a staple item in Carol’s closet – but that doesn’t mean we ever get sick of it! Find your local Goodwill and get yourself a fancy fur that will turn any of your outfits from drab to fab.

NINE

Cate looks fantastic in (any) most hues and this understated copper really just puts everything into perspective for me.

EIGHT

What do you pair a taupe with a front bow with? A gold chain and a pop of the hip is what!

SEVEN

This teal frock is clean and classy but most of all, it’s versatile. It looks good leaning back…

AND…It looks great kneeling while wrapping presents.

SIX

Honorable mention to Sarah Paulson’s Wanda Jackson vibes this entire film. We will take one of every ascot and tartan blazer, please and thank you very much.

FIVE

Carol in this green plaid jumper (with brown leather gloves) is EVERYTHING.

FOUR

Who needs Victoria Secret when you can have a flannel robe and (bottomless) supply of Don Perignon instead?!

THREE

The MVP for fashion-ware is Mara’s beret. It is so perfect I can barely form sentences just thinking about how I don’t own one of these.

TWO

I mean…

ONE

If Margot Tenenbaum and Little Edie had a fashion baby, it would be this look. Heather gray and salmon are IN and I’m obsessed with this (now) iconic look.
