Amy Winehouse Movie: How the film’s fashion compares to her real-life style
From sky-high heels to her iconic beehive hair, Amy Winehouse will forever be a fashion icon.
I can’t wait to witness the fashion used in the new movie. The one-minute and 15-second teaser shows MARISA ABELA, who plays Amy, sporting some of her most iconic ‘fits’, but I’m intrigued to see how accurate the parallels are to the late star’s actual wardrobe choices.
From her white hair streak to her over-the-top signature liquid eyeliner look, Amy Winehouse’s style simultaneously reflects those of her beauty choices. Often opting for a bustier, tartan print mini skirt, little black dresses and itty bitty denim shorts, Amy’s wardrobe repertoire was nothing short of iconic.
Here are some of Amy’s iconic fashion looks.
Her Floral Hair Accessories
In one scene from the teaser trailer Amy is seen on stage wearing her beloved chunky gold heart necklace paired with a towering beehive hairstyle adorned with floral detailing and a black corset. This look is extremely similar to what she wore to the 2008 Grammy Awards, but instead of a black corset, she opted for a simple fitted vest.
Her Onstage Ensembles
Another snippet shows the singer performing in a baby blue babydoll dress, fixed at the waist with an oversized black belt. The look was inspired by a 2007 outfit that Amy wore to perform at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
Her Casual Wardrobe
A known lover of itty bitty shorts, Amy often wore her micro shorts on stage at festivals. In the trailer, Amy is seen with her partner Blake Fielder-Civil, played by Jack O’Connell, picnicking in a park. The singer sported a stripe bandeau top, low-waisted pink shorts and black heels, striking a resemblance to an actual picnic the lovebirds embarked on in Primrose Hill.
Unfortunately, the trailer only gives us a sneak peek as to what to expect in terms of iconic fashion moments, but we can only hope the yellow dress and heart-shaped Moschino bag combo that she wore to the 2007 Brit Awards makes an appearance.
Back to Black started filming in April of last year and is set to be released in UK cinemas TOMORROW – on April 12th.
