Hollywood actress Claire Danes always seemed a tad too apple pie for my liking. Starring as the angelic heroine in Baz Lurhmann’s 1990s movie adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, and in the more recent fantasy movie Stardust in which she played a fallen star, she never struck me as the type of girl who would be able to let loose with fashion and unleash her inner style vixen. But I was wrong. Claire Danes really is too sweet to be wholesome and new fashion shots in this month’s Black Book magazine prove just that.
The pictures taken of the blonde beauty reveal her in every high-fashion trend set to rock the world of style over the next few months. She is pictured in everything from Calvin Klein and Gucci to American Apparel and Herve Leger – and she looks amazing for it.
In one snap the actress is perched on top of a glass ceiling in New York wearing a shoulder-padded blazer and tighter-than-tight acid-wash designer jeans with rips in the knees, along with a gorgeous pair of killer strappy heels. While in another, she dons merely a pair of nude fishnets, a Lady Gaga-inspired leotard and a glitzy sci-fi-style jacket with some uber-high ankle boots.
Proving that the 1980s really are a force to be reckoned with in fashion at the moment, Claire is pictured in an asymmetrical hot-pink minidress with sheer black tights and the clunkiest necklace you have seen this side of the 21st century!
So, surely if someone as sweet and inoffensive as Claire can look edgy and vampish in these hot trends, we fashionistas will have every chance of rocking the socks off them.
Which autumn trend are you looking forward to sinking your teeth into?
