Mia Wasikowsa's 'Restless' Vintage Styling - Get the Look!


I can not help, but mention the great fashion in Gus Van Sant's latest movie release 'Restless'. Starring Mia Wasikowska and Henry Hopper as two people who fall in love whilst dealing with life, loss and love. 

Annabel (Mia) is a terminal cancer patient with a deep love of life whilst Enoch (Hopper) is dealing with a great loss in his family. They meet by chance and find an unexpected common ground in their unique experiences of life. 

Mia's character, Annabel is sweet, cute and quirky and she has vintage style to match. We cannot help, but feel inspired by this leading lady's wardrobe. Annabel mixes fantastic hats with lashings of lace, pea coats, fur and loud accessories. 


I found this fabulous red cloche hat on Etsy for £97. Handmade with a large matching red felt corsage for a modern twist on a twenties look as worn by Mia's character in the film "Restless". Match with a cute waist length cardigan and bright red gloves to replicate Annabel's quirky vintage styling.  

The cape was big news this Autumn and it will still be around for Spring when the days get mild and the nights get lighter and longer. (Sounds like a dream right now). I love how Mia's character Annabel wore hers with a bold blue ribbon and bright blue gloves. Not too matchy and enough colour to make the dullest days brighter. I love this cape from Zara for $89. Wear with your own bright blue accessories to re-create this look...if a bow is too loud for you, why not try a bright and bold vintage brooch?  

Restless is out now on DVD courtesy of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Available on the 13th February 2012.

  1. Oooo eee... I love that cape! Do you think capes are just for very skinny girls?

  2. I always think as long as you go skinny on the bottom to give your body some shape it is fine...no long billowy skirts...etc.
