Is Suki a better Daisy Jones than Karen Sirko?
Suki Waterhouse portrays the more understated Karen Sirko in Amazon Prime’s Daisy Jones & The Six. The show is an adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel of the same name. However, Suki is a self-proclaimed Daisy. When asked at the premiere which character she felt most similar to, Suki proudly shared that she was a Daisy. Indeed, her outfits during this press tour prove just that.
Suki’s Emerald Green Gown
Beginning with Suki’s emerald green gown that she wore to the show’s premiere, this look screamed Daisy Jones. The sheer gown by Stephane Rolland was exactly the attention-grabbing dress we could imagine Daisy opting for. It was delicate and feminine yet effortless, fun and risky. The plunging neckline, sheer material, and sparkling jewels completed the look.
The outfit perfected Daisy’s constant juxtaposition between 70s glamour and a carefree effortlessness. The bold gold hoops, loose curls, rings and bangles all highlighted the retro influences on this look and perfectly channelled Daisy Jones.
Suki on the Empire State Building
However, the premiere was not the only occasion we have seen Suki sporting a 1970s-inspired outfit. In fact, she has been doing this throughout the press tour, and fans (including myself) have been loving it.
The cast visited the Empire State Building during their promotional tour. There, Suki was wearing yet another phenomenal outfit that Daisy Jones would be proud of. The actress paired a tiny pair of denim shorts and tights with a silk blouse. She kept the blouse unbuttoned to reveal a crystal bralette. A look that sounds dramatic, right? But it did not stop there. She accessorised with fashion’s hottest accessory, a red neck corsage that matched the singer’s red lipstick. The look was taken up a notch.
What a perfect completed outfit, I hear you say, wrong! There was one crucial element to this look that we are yet to mention. Stylist Rob Zangardi took the look one step further by adding a substantial white fur jacket. The styling decision took this outfit from great to iconic.
But the star of the show was probably an accidental run-down of Waterhouse’s tights. The juxtaposition that this brought to the highly glamorous look played into the messy rockstar character, taking away some of the perfection. If it was intentional, then it was genius. However, I like it even more if it was accidental.
Zangardi Loves Styling Suki
Zangardi has loved styling Suki in these maximalist looks throughout the press tour. He knows the correct number of layers, accessories, and details to formulate the perfect looks. Of course, fur coats have played a massive part in this.
Fur coats were hugely popular in the 1970s. This decade set the backdrop for a massive portion of Daisy Jones & The Six. So, these pieces have been influential in integrating retro influences into Suki’s looks. However, they also feed into the rocker-chic glamour of the Daisy Jones aesthetic that Suki has been playing with. Suki shared one Balmain look on her Instagram. It comprised a classic brown fur coat and knee-high brown-croc boots. All paired with a vibrant yellow and purple mini dress.
Another look paired with white knee-high boots, a pink silk embroidered mini-dress, and a more yellow-toned fur coat. The Gucci look was topped off with giant square sunglasses, and it honestly couldn’t get any better.
Suki’s Eyewear
Speaking of sunglasses, it is essential to mention how perfectly all of these looks have been accessorised using eyewear. The array of oversized frames and dark lenses have really elevated these looks. Nothing screams ‘it-girl’ like the perfect pair of sunglasses. And Daisy Jones was nothing if not an ‘it-girl’.
The choices in eyewear also helped to transport us back to the 70s. I hope this helps to pull us away from the micro sunglasses. A trend that dominated the industry for the past few years. As much as I love this look, I’m constantly bored of seeing the same tiny rectangular frames. I would love to see oversized dramatic frames make a comeback.
Final Thoughts
As excited as I am to binge the series, I’m devastated that the press tour is over. Although, I am sure the show will be full of even more fabulous looks. I was excited waking up each day and wondering what the cast members would wear. And I really hope other actors, shows, and films start incorporating fashion into their marketing this way.
The buzz these looks created has not been seen since the second season of Euphoria dropped last year. Playing into costuming and makeup is a fun and successful way to maximise the marketing of these productions. But, while the press tour may be over, Suki Waterhouse has been a fashion icon for over a decade, and I know that I can rely on her to keep feeding my need for more iconic looks.
