Charlize Theron’s Lorraine Broughton is dressed to kill. This fashionable 80’s stylish spy has been slaying the game both in fashion and nationalistic treachery in the film Atomic Blonde.
With the likes of Burberry, Dior, John Galliano, and so many others dressing the actress for her role, it’s no wonder being a spy has never looked this good before. Sorry Mr. Bond. It’s as if you took Miranda Priestly from The Devil Wears Prada, made her several years younger, and trained her to kill.
Now, not everyone’s got the budget for several outfits worth of Saint Laurent, Gucci, and Lanvin, so how can you replicate the looks as a normal person?
The #FightingGear
In the debate of form and functionality, Theron’s outfits were said to be made of stretchable and/or free flowing shapes that don’t limit her movement. Lucky for you though, that you only need to look like the atomic blonde, not be one.
The #shady look
If the eyes are the window to the soul, you bet that as a spy, you’d like to keep them hidden. And what better way to do that than with a stylish pair of sunnies in a colour or frame not usually used by everyone around you?
The #BlackOnBlack
You can’t go wrong with black. Ever. It’s physically almost impossible for someone to mess that up. Though sometimes, black tends to drown each other out. Choose items with different textiles in order to find statements that highlight each other, like glossy leather boots under a matte black dress.
The #KillerHeel
Theyre stylish. They’re sleek. They can be used to jab someone in the eye. The red high heel is the perfect accent to brighten up your outfit. And with so many different heights and silhouettes, it’s only a matter of time before you find the one.
The #SweetSeduction dress
Even spies need some downtime, right? Whether they’re metallic jumpsuits or dresses with prints, there’s a “girl’s night out” piece out there that needs your love. Think of it as an investment piece. You buy something gorgeous and you get hit on by someone even more so. Win win.
And there you have it. Stunning looks for every time you feel like becoming the most stylish spy around. The atomic blonde. The hair color, however, is totally up to you, but you know what they say. Blondes have more fun.
