1. Villanelle – Killing Eve
Dressed to Kill? Well, quite literally!
Constantly oscillating between high-fashion, punk and sometimes outrageous, Villanelle’s wardrobe is what sartorial dreams are made of. From the legendary pink Molly Goddard dress, comic book print pyjamas to power suits, our favourite assassin can pull of anything and everything. Dramatic, carefree and bold – Villanelle’s fashion game is our many moods sewed into one. What a killer style for a killer job! (Pun definitely intended)

2. Thomas Shelby – Peaky Blinders
Walk, Talk and Dress like a Gentleman
Talking about style, we simply cannot not talk about Thomas Shelby. With his directional haircut, flat caps, tweed jackets, and grandad shirts, Tommy Shelby reflects British nostalgia, putting the spotlight back on ‘How to dress like a gentleman’- suave and classy. Well, thanks to this iconic period gang drama, menswear is witnessing a radical change and honestly we can’t complain!
Interesting Fact: Did you know that last year, Kunt & Curwen, the fashion brand co-owned by David Beckham collaborated with Peaky Blinders to launch a collection called ‘The Garrison Tailors’.

3. Claire Underwood – House of Cards
Power dressing done right!
Pencil skirts, high necks, tailored dresses and suits, stilettoes and minimum to bare accessories, Claire Underwood’s wardrobe commands respect and authority. Mostly seen in blue, black, grey or white the reel-life President walks the talk and while she does it, she leaves no opportunity to make heads turn. Smart, edgy and elegant, Underwood’s style might be your cue to formal workwear. Also, did we tell you that the first lady of United States approves Claire’s outfits?

4. The Women Tribe – Mad Men
Bringing back the 50’s whimsy and oomph
The ladies club of Mad Men is a sight to behold! Donning plaids, pleats, polka dots, high-waist capris, pantsuits, ponytails and buns, the women in the (M)AD world of Men breaks the glass ceiling (in style). Be it Peggy, Betty or Megan, everyone has a distinctive style that evolves throughout this period piece keeping the ‘individuality’ intact. Now that’s a clear winner for us.

5. Eleven- Stranger Things
Discovering one’s identity through style
Migrating from baggy tees, grey sweatshirts and dungarees to graphic print romper and shirts, El’s epic style transformation is also a reflection of her personal growth. From trying to be a regular teen, to actually being one, Eleven’s sartorial choices relays her path of self-discovery to us. We are absolutely loving the new Eleven who is experimenting, exploring and finding newer possibilities in her new-found normal life and style. Keep going EL!

6. David Rose – Schitt’s Creek
The Ultimate Diva
You simply cannot ignore David’s bold and INSANE (in a good way of course) wardrobe choices. Kilt skirts, fuzzy sweaters, oversized hoodies, floral on floral outfits, animal prints… we can go on and on about Junior Rose’s eccentric fashion ensembles, but what we absolutely adore is how he has taken androgynous style to the very next level. Hats off to you David for making gender-fluid outfits the ‘IT’ thing.
