So you want to dress like...Fierce women of T.V.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I would kill for some of the pieces certain women on T.V. wear. I've been known to watch a little bit too much television, and from this results in drooling over the wardrobes of characters in my favorite shows. This post details four amazing styles that are modeled by four awesome women of T.V. Don't forget to leave your own inspirations for dressing in the comments if you feel like sharing!


1) River Song

As seen on: Doctor Who
Portrayed by: Alex Kingston

Style profile: River Song dresses elegantly but functionally. She's hard and feminine all at the same time and never compromises her taste for expensive things. See the shoes she's holding in that picture above? Those are Christian Louboutain's! It's no secret that River Song knows who she is and how to convey that in her sense of fashion.

My interpretation: Bold colors, clean lines, hardware, and "playful" accessories are essential for pulling off a look like River's.

2) Divya Katdare

As seen on: Royal Pains
Portrayed by: Reshma Shetty

Style profile: Divya lives in the always sunny and bright Hamptons, and her wardrobe never fails to reflect this. Pastels and neutrals highlight her beautiful skin tone and add an accent to the beachy background of the show. Her clothes are also functional as she has to be constantly on call for the HankMed business.

My interpretation: Pastels, simple pieces, and contrasting accents in the accessories.

3) Helen Magnus

As seen on: Sanctuary
Portrayed by: Amanda Tapping

Style profile: Helen Magnus is one of the more ambitious and tough female characters on T.V. right now. She balances dealing with world governments, running her own tactical team, and balancing her 150 year or so love life. Talk about a woman of many talents! She's a woman who demands to be taken seriously just at the sight of her, but one who never fails to be wearing a great pair of shoes at the same time...

My interpretation: Neutrals, metallic accessories, and a "popping" shoe convey an "in charge" and feminine silhouette.

4) Leslie Knope

As seen on: Parks and Recreation
Portrayed by: Amy Poehler

Style profile: Leslie Knope is first and foremost her own person. She cares little about what people think of her and focuses only on her work and even more on her friends. She is never lacking in dedication. Leslie's manic and feminine, and her clothes always reflect this. She works for the city government, so she must be put together. Personality is added with fun colors and even better prints.

My interpretation: Fun prints dressed up with a blazer and neutral accents for the office. The bow belt and bow-accented shoe add a bit of femininity to the entire ensemble.
