A Quick List of The Main TV Shows That Set Trends
TV series is one of the most significant sources of fashion inspiration. Some tv shows surprise me with bold makeup choices, whilst others set outfit trends that stay long after the final season.
Take a look at some of the TV shows with memorable fashion and beauty moments:
Skins
Ah, Skins. The show brings memories of our teenage years and the mistakes we wish we hadn’t repeated in early adulthood. Retrospectively, the outfits worn by the characters weren’t something I would necessarily want to make popular again, but the makeup deserves mention. You guessed right; I’m talking about Effy’s iconic eye makeup. We all wanted to be Effy in one way or another. Partly because her sense of style was both mysterious and bold. Remember the ripped jeans?
And don’t get me started on the smudged eyeshadows – you could say it was her hallmark and went with her personality pretty well. While neat smoky eyes are pretty great, making them messy gives them an edge. You won’t have to worry about looking bad if caught up in the rain.
Gossip Girl (Original Series)
Some parts of Gossip Girl can seem cringy now, but very few beauty looks need a reboot (I’m looking at you, Gossip Girl 2021). Gossip Girl then dictated trends with every new episode – from sparkly jackets to flowery dresses.
Does anyone still remember the lacy grey gown Serena wore in season 4? One of the most unique accessories was headbands that looked cute and classy. They’re still not out of fashion today. Of course, you wouldn’t expect less from Blair Waldorf, the ultimate fashionista.
Euphoria
Euphoria is a recent HBO show that features troubled teenagers and a whole lot of aesthetics.
While the plot is pretty dark, I can’t get enough of the eye makeup full of glitter and colours. One of the most beloved trends nowadays is applying stickers around your eyes. Do it to complete a party look or add a glow to everyday makeup – search for Maddy’s iconic makeup. I predict the outfits will be a hit this Halloween, especially the nun makeup seen on Kat and Rue’s glitter tears.
Emily in Paris
If you’ve heard of Emily in Paris, you either love the tv show or hate it. In light of how the French were portrayed in the show, fashion is the best part of it. The clothes worn by Emily tend to be colourful and bold. Will combining loose inspiration from how French people dress in classic wear make the fashion world happy? Is Parisian style what the fashion world needs right now?
For example, her red beret with a checked coat and high-heeled sandals is simple but with a modern twist. This fusion of styles gives Emily a youthful look I’d love to recreate this autumn.
Bridgerton
Bridgerton might not be the most accurate representation of the clothing style in the Regency era. However, it still makes you swoon with its aesthetics and bold choices.
It seems that puff sleeves are finally making a comeback, and rightly so – they give a simple design a bit more exciting vibe. While wearing a dress might not be the best autumn outfit idea, you can choose a blouse. Many people are charmed by the simple makeup used in the show, too – Penelope’s flushed cheeks and minimal look. In the face of South Korea’s ‘glass face‘ popularity, trying to make your skin look flawless and makeup-free with just a slight blush is common.
It’s too late to wait until New Year’s Eve to make resolutions to refresh your style. You can always turn to any of your favourite tv shows for more inspiration, though.
