Why Don’t You… Shop Your Favorite TV Characters’ Wardrobes?

27 Jan Why Don’t You… Shop Your Favorite TV Characters’ Wardrobes?

Why Don’t You’ is my weekly tribute to legendary editor Diana Vreeland who penned a column of the same name for Harper’s Bazaar for 26 years begging, “Don’t just be your ordinary dull self. Why don’t you be ingenious and make yourself into something else?”

Let me tell you, I had a time, finding Michaela Pratt’s outfits on How to Get Away with Murder for her style post. But you all seemed to appreciate the tips and screen grabs (Aja did too!).

Your response showed me I’m not the only one who is curious about Aja Naomi King’s character’s style. In fact, some of my better performing posts revolve around our favorite characters and their wardrobes: Jessica Day, Mindy Kaling, Hannah Horvath and Blair Waldorf.

Coincidently, the lovely ladies at Spylight reached out via email to introduce us to the wondrous workings of their website so that we can shop our favorite characters’ wardrobes! Thank you, Internet?

Here’s how it works according to Spylight’s Co-Founder Aly Moore: “Spylight makes your TV screen shoppable. We work directly with Hollywood studios to go on set inside the wardrobe department and collect information about what the actors are wearing—so you can buy Olivia Pope‘s iconic white coat or anything else you want from shows like Scandal. We’re obsessed with the idea of making Hollywood your personal stylist.”

What’s not to like about that, right?

“We know that fashion lovers are always inspired by the looks and characters they see on TV – but now they will actually be able to recreate these looks,” Moore continued. “Anyone can channel their inner Jessica Day from New Girl  (with her shoes on set above!) when they want to! In order to make Hollywood wardrobes accessible, we also provide close matches to pricer items worn on TV.”

I am so excited! I can’t wait to steal (er, buy) all of Aja Naomi King’s character’s looks. Who has your favorite wardrobe on screen? Will you check out Spylight?

Oh, and p.s. Spylight is going to send over roundups of Micheala’s clothing when How to Get Away with Murder comes back so I can recap it here!
