Iconic Hollywood Looks To Inspire Your Wardrobe
From the days of black-and-white frames to the saturated glow of modern streaming, cinema has always been more than a story — it’s been style, identity, and silent persuasion, etching its impressions slightly on our being, sometimes as character traits we owe our being to, sometimes the grace of their styling. Whether Hollywood classics or today’s binge-worthy series, the characters who live on in memory often do so because of the worlds built around them — the entire frame, built layer by layer by stylists, costume designers, editors — all working to give life to characters who become part of us.
Turn to any movie of your choice and you might not remember the exact dialogue, but you will remember what you felt — and that feeling lingers because of the impression of such a scene, made up of, oh, the look! Because let’s be honest — there’s a little bit of them in all of us.
At Outhouse, the aim is to become your style archivists — from the graceful frames of Audrey Hepburn’s innocent elegance draping the cinema with charm and wholesomeness, to Emily in Paris’s unforgettable soirées and fashion extravaganzas — what’s to miss between the decades? To identify your true style is to match your energy. Let this guide be your go-to, match that Hollywood vibe, character aura, and build the accessory closet of your star-struck dream.
Channeling Audrey Hepburn’s Iconic Elegance with Outhouse
Breakfast at Tiffany’s is a proud cinematic portrayal of glamour, sophistication, and a unique perspective on female identity. It captured the finesse of the 1960s New York City girl charm, making the ‘little black dress’ a style icon. Audrey Hepburn’s role as Holly Golightly, with her signature little black dress, leans into the aesthete’s taste of being highly influential. The charm captured in her soft yet complementing silhouettes — making her the Tiffany girl archetype of sophistication and independence — continues to resonate with women today, a spirit perfectly captured through accessorising with Outhouse.
To reflect the kindness that glowed through her sophistication, there are iconic inspired designs you can wear as your go-to Tiffany girl aesthetic. The Regina Pearl Collared Choker Necklace — freshwater pearls wrapped in neutral tones — promises you the croissant in one hand, coffee in another, and the independence of carefree grace. For moments wrapped in subtler nods, there are the OH Monogram Ivory Nova Stud Earrings and OH Celeste Ivory Nova Stud Earrings — inspired by her minimal yet presence-commanding looks from Roman Holiday. Who can forget that green flared dress twirl? The epitome of femininity, balancing poise with just the right touch of drama — that free-spirited, romantic air around her. Pearls all the way, for a Hepburn grace!
Such curation deserves pairings that echo her signature, stored in the extravagance of Outhouse’s mini bags. The Midi Disco Handbag in Shell and OH V Furbie Handbag in Shell perfectly harmonise with the pearls, while the 22K gold accents offer a balance of old-world grace and modern versatility.
Accessorising Like the Devil Wears Prada
The year was 2006, and The Devil Wears Prada stormed into cinemas — not just as a film but as a cultural blueprint of fashion, power, identity, and transformation. Meryl Streep’s portrayal of the iconic Miranda Priestly remains etched in fashion history — a proud, unapologetic representation of power dressing for women. Her infamous cerulean monologue wasn’t merely a sharp commentary on the fashion cycle; it was, in truth, a philosophy lesson. She taught us that whether or not you feel you’re participating in fashion, every choice you make has already been shaped by a layered story of designers, colors, fabrics, and cultural shifts. You may not have chosen the cerulean sweater, but cerulean chose you.
And in that very spirit — where seemingly effortless choices are, in fact, acts of influence — we turn to the two distinct yet equally captivating styles embodied by Miranda and Andy.
Accessorising Lessons from Miranda Priestly
For Miranda, power dressing wasn’t an aesthetic, it was authority wrapped in quiet restraint. It is female power dressing at its finest — sharp cuts, neutral tones, statement totes, and jewellery that whispers luxury without shouting for attention.
Her handbag of choice would certainly be The Boss Tote Bag in Raven Black or The Boss Tote Bag in Greige Taupe — structured and commanding. Whether heading to a high-stakes meeting or commanding the Runway office, these oversized tote bags for work embody her elegant office jewellery mood — fluid, fierce, and ready to arrive.
When it comes to her jewellery, Miranda’s aesthetic breathes minimalism with intentional accents:
Her earrings followed the theory of simplicity and class, the O.H Monogram Archway Hoops Earrings or the Myriad Twisted Pearl Hoop Earrings, blending just enough pearl jewellery to soften but not dilute the power. For rings, her statement would be in singular, sculptural forms like The Seine Ring or The Paloma Pearl Doublex Finger Ring, perfectly stacked or worn solo.
For necklaces: One can explore pieces like the OH Poppi Lever Necklace or branch into elegant evening jewellery picks from the Layered Necklace collections, giving her the choice between everyday styling and soirée accessories.
Each of these choices balances feminine softness with executive authority — jewellery for work redefined.
The Art of Layering with Andy
Andy’s character arc wasn’t just a career story; it was a visual study in how women discover fashion jewellery as an extension of identity. From oversized sweaters to Chanel-inspired tailored fits, Andy’s journey celebrates the boldness of experimentation.
Her newfound layering technique pairs perfectly with the dynamic designs of Outhouse. The OH Poppi Bucket Bag in Macaron Green echoes Andy’s youthful vibrance, while still sitting comfortably within the luxe fashion jewellery universe. For her jewellery:
The OH V Choker Necklace offers architectural finesse that’s perfect for layering or solo wear. And the OH Poppi Bolt Layered Necklace and Lazuli Sculpt Layered Necklace provide the perfect hardware-meets-glamour balance for modern workwear best jewellery. Her bracelets stack beautifully with options like the O.H Crescent Half Wrist Handcuff Bracelet, the OH V Tan Leather Bracelet- each bringing Andy’s iconic fit moments to life.
Every layer of jewellery, every bag we carry — it all plays its part in how we walk into the room, (remember the cerulean sweater lesson).
Accessorising Through the Cities
Just when cinema became that place of inspiration, there came the revolution of Netflix — and with it, the rise of OTT series that have quietly shaped not only pop culture but also the very art of accessorising. And with that being said, it would be blasphemous to not shine light on Emily in Paris — a show that didn’t just air, it struck a cultural nerve.
Emily’s Maximalism and Accessorising
Set against the picturesque soirées, Parisian luncheons, fancy yet stressful meetings, the carefully staged dinners and those extravagant parties — the show offered a visual diary of modern-day Paris dressed in poetry. And at the heart of it all is Emily Cooper, portrayed by Lily Collins.
Her wardrobe? A joyful rebellion against subtlety, charged with the French je ne sais quoi that she so desperately tries (and often manages) to merge with her infectious American enthusiasm. The bursts of bold colours, fearless prints, and playful patterns mirror her marketing-girl-on-the-go aesthetic. And with maximalist energy like that, the accessorising follows suit: youthful, playful, sentimental — but always intentional.
The mini bags were her constant muse — always there to balance her maximalist twirls and swirls. For the day-to-day go-getter energy, the best fit would be OH V Paparazzi Handbags Collection — structured, playful and sharply Paris-ready. For those sparkling soirées striking drama and plot twists, picking the Crystal Furbies would be the right choice, glistening just enough under the party lights.
For a spirit that carries both charm and confidence: The Lazuli Collection would be her natural gravitation point — especially the Sculpt Layered Necklace, the Suddorn Ring, and the Cartella Earrings. For the youthful, wide-eyed girl who’s mastered the art of getting everyone to say yes to her pitches: The Bisou Collection becomes the perfect finishing touch — playful, delicate, and quietly persuasive.
Mindy’s Minimalist Mindful Accessorising
Mindy Chen, played by Ashley Park — oh, the alliteration never gets old. The minimalism, the melody, the magnetic charm. From her cabaret performances to champagne-fuelled soirées, her style is an unapologetic blend of bold colours and flirty silhouettes. And while her fits embrace maximalism, her accessorising is a balancing act of mindful minimalism.
Mindy’s go-to remains the Mini Bags Collection — the Furbie Handbags embody her playful spirit, grounding her statement looks with a chic foundation. And of course, for someone who never says no to an opportunity, the Crystal Furbie finds its place in her wardrobe, adding the high-glam sparkle perfect for her spotlight moments.
Her jewellery always whispers elegance, never overwhelming her vibrant ensembles. Clean lines flowing through her floral silhouettes pair seamlessly with pearls. Mindy’s vibe belongs to the Charme des Celeste Collection — where delicate pearls meet celestial motifs, delivering timeless elegance that matches her effortless poise.
