On The Timeless Appeal Of Gwyneth Paltrow’s White Shirt In Talented Mr. Ripley
As the pandemic has forced many to cancel travel plans this summer, including me, I have taken to watching films featuring what I consider peak vacation style instead. It didn’t take long for me to hit play on The Talented Mr. Ripley.
While costuming plays a big part in every film, clothes — more specifically, what they say about the people that wear them — carry the plot of the Talented Mr. Ripley. It is, after all, a Princeton jacket that sets the Anthony Minghella thriller into motion: When Dickie’s (Jude Law) dad, a shipping magnate, sees Tom Ripley’s (Matt Damon) blazer, which he borrowed for a high-society event in New York, he quickly enlists him to bring his son back from Italy after assuming they were classmates. As the story takes a turn for the darker, it’s the well-tailored clothes and a gold pinky ring that help Tom steal Dickie’s identity. Yet it’s Marge, Dickie’s girlfriend (Gwyneth Paltrow), who wears one of the most understated items of clothing in the film — a white linen shirt — a fact I was reminded of as I was simultaneously flipping over my closet for the summer and watching the film.
While aesthetic details — and Dickie’s (and then Tom’s) obsession with them — define the men of the film, Marge appears less concerned about her appearance while vacationing in the Italian Riviera. As a wealthy ‘50s socialite, Marge could have brought a cart-load of suitcases with her (much like Cate Blanchett’s character), and yet her looks appear to have come out of a single bag that could belong to any woman of the time. In a move that feels modern (at least for those of us who can’t justify paying for checked-in luggage), Marge appears like someone who put careful thought into packing, adding a versatile item like a white button-down shirt that could go from being paired a skirt and capris to serving as a cover-up on the beach.
Marge first appears in the style while hosting a garden lunch. Worn over an embroidered peach dress, the shirt is unbuttoned and casually knotted at the waist. Appearing thrown on to fight off the afternoon breeze, it also enhances the most interesting detail of the dress: an embroidered neckline.
It’s the epitome of Mediterranean vacation chic (more recently, Daisy Edgar-Jones exemplified this look in the episode of Normal People in Italy). Marge next throws a white shirt over her high-waisted swimsuit, which she also repeats from the first beach scene, while on a boat. While this may seem like a practical alternative to bringing a cover-up while on vacation, her intentional styling of the shirt becomes apparent in one of the next scenes. While walking around the town with the two men, Marge leaves yet another shirt open in a wrap-style front to showcase her swimsuit top while wearing a flowy floral skirt in a look that’s clearly not intended for the beach.
To make the look even more versatile, she adds hair accessories throughout the film, wearing a headband with her hair down for the lunch scene and a scarf-tied ponytail for a walk with Tom.
It was an interesting choice to dress Marge in an item that appears repeated — even more so when considering the scene in which Dickie criticizes Tom for washing the one shirt he owns — and one that sets her apart from the world of the men who are more concerned with the clothes people are wearing, rather than what these clothes can conceal about a person. While she can afford to wear anything that she wants to, she’s most at ease in a simple shirt that says less about her place in society than the clothes she wears when she leaves the sleepy seaside town and re-enters society in Rome — which is, to be honest, when I usually stop watching the film for the summer inspiration.
As I found myself reaching for my own linen white shirt, I was reminded of the timelessness of the style, that can now be found in any budget range and at any retailer. A white maxi skirt came out of the box next. The coast of Italy may not be in our futures, but, by the powers of the linen white shirt and Marge’s style, we can all be transported there right now.

21 White Shirt Dresses For Your Summer Wardrobe
Hailey Bieber’s Reformation Dress Is Perfect For Summer — & Still Available To Shop
This year Memorial Day Weekend wasn’t all parades and barbecues like we’re used to, but, even with the change of plans, Hailey Bieber found not one, but two occasions to get all dressed up for. And by a stroke of holiday luck, her dreamy blue Reformation dress from last weekend’s festivities is still available to shop in nearly every size.
The Gavin dress, which the 23-year-old model featured on her Instagram page, with a caption that reads “happy hb,” is dusty blue with dainty red flowers, and features cap sleeves, an open-back, and a midi silhouette. In Bieber’s post, which has since been seen (and probably saved) by over 1.3 million people, the dress’s extra-high slit and flirty cut-out back are in full view, as is her glowing skin.

This isn’t the first time Bieber’s been spotted wearing the cult-favorite sustainable brand. Earlier this year, while filming for her husband Justin Bieber’s YouTube series Seasons, Hailey wore a white, daisy-covered maxi dress from Reformation. Unlike that dress, though, this one isn’t completely sold out — not even close.
Rather, for $218, you can still get your hands on the Gavin dress in almost every size available on the brand’s website, from 0 to 12. The style also comes in eight other colorways, including basic black, navy, and forest green, as well as a number of floral prints.
In addition to her Reformation sundress, Bieber was also spotted over the long weekend wearing matching hot pink outfits with Justin at his Beverly Hills basketball game — her look being a baby tank from Brandy Melville, which she paired with pink track shorts and Nike Air Force 1s, and his a pair of pink basketball shorts courtesy of his brand Drew House. While her exact pink tank isn’t still available, the same one in white is. *Buys at-home dye kit immediately.*

14 Celebrity-Approved Looks From The Long Weekend
’90s Sportswear Is The Official Uniform Of Quarantine
At this point, ’90s fashion trends making a comeback isn’t news to anyone. At the 2020 Grammys, Dua Lipa wore a slinky Alexander Wang two-piece set that was as ‘90s as the blue eyeshadow and diamond choker she paired with it. Later during award season at the Vanity Fair Oscars After Party, Emily Ratajkowski chose a similarly ‘90s-style Inamorata co-ord, hers made up of a bandeau bra top and a maxi slip skirt. The rise of brands like Coperni and Dion Lee and the recent uptick in trends from the era, including low-rise trousers and tiny bra tops courtesy of Mugler and chain-mail dresses à la Elizabeth Hurley at Paco Rabanne, have similarly pointed to the resurgence of fashion from the era. But despite what the abundance of ‘90s Instagram accounts out there might have you think, the era wasn’t all Prada mini skirt suits and little black dresses by Calvin Klein. Sportswear also had a (bucket) hat in the game — and, with quarantine steering us away from form-fitting silhouettes and strappy heels, it’s no wonder that our wardrobes of late have taken a turn toward the decade’s sportier styles.

I like to think of Princess Diana as the queen — pun intended — of ‘90s sportswear. We’ve all seen the photos. Or, at the very least, Hailey Bieber’s recreation of them for Vogue Paris in neon bike shorts, an oversized crewneck, and tube socks paired with chunky sneakers. I’m not one to put down the royal’s more done-up looks — in fact, I’ll be the first to praise Lady Di for showing up to the 1996 Met Gala in a lace Dior slip dress — but her style burned brightest in its off-hours, when sneakers replaced Chanel, and Northwestern sweaters were thrown on in lieu of couture blouses.
So when bike shorts and sneakers rallied onto the scene during the summer of 2016, it was Diana that immediately came to mind, as laying the groundwork for the comeback, despite the fact that the Kardashian-Jenner’s were reported to be at the root of the trend’s resurgence.

Celebrities weren’t the only ones to go back in time. Making the most of the comeback are brands like Sporty & Rich, a label started by Emily Oberg in 2014 that sells oversized crewnecks reminiscent of old-school Champion styles, vintage-inspired sweat shorts, and slouchy T-shirts in faded shades of red, gold, and navy blue. Many a men’s sportswear brand, including UK-based brand Aries and NY-based labels Noah and Aimé Leon Dore, have also looked back to the ‘90s, the latter having teamed up with notable athleticwear brand New Balance on a collab so reminiscent of the era that we could see Princess Diana owning every single piece of it if it were around back then. In the collection, you’ll find nylon anoraks, gam-baring track shorts, and color-block sneakers, all in the primary colors that the ‘90s were known for. (That is, when people weren’t wearing all-black Helmut Lang.)
It should be noted that all four of the aforementioned brands often sell out of their limited-edition drops quickly, sometimes in the matter of a few minutes, proving that this isn’t just a trend on Instagram. It has mass appeal, too.

You can’t reminisce about sporty ‘90s fashion, though, without paying homage to J.Crew, which during its formative years, when the heritage brand was sold only in a mail-order catalog, was the home of American sportswear, selling color-block button-downs (that’s not unlike this one currently sold by Solid & Striped) and rugby shirts. Most of the catalog shoots look as if they took place on sailboats in Nantucket or Cape Cod. One catalog from 1998 even featured the cast of Cape Cod-set Dawson’s Creek, with Katie Holmes, James van der Beek, Michelle Williams, and Joshua Jackson all hanging out in cable-knit sweaters, sun-bleached sweatshirts, and bucket hats while rowing in a rowboat.
J.Crew has of course changed a lot since the age of the catalog. The brand is currently struggling, having just filed for bankruptcy earlier this month. But the laissez-faire vibe and comfort-first quality of its ‘90s merchandise, which it abandoned in the ‘00s, lives on. Especially now, with shelter-in-place orders, the trend is proliferating with matching sweatsuits, fancy pajamas, funky socks, house dresses, and more increasing in sales.
As influential faces in fashion start to get a hang of styling for indoors, we’re seeing even more appearances of the ‘90s aesthetic on Instagram: Parisienne Camille Charriere in a Diana-esque pair of blue jeans, worn with a baseball cap, a vintage T-shirt, and oversized blazer; German stylist Marie von Behrens sporting New Balance kicks with high socks, track shorts, and a baggy crew neck on the beach; and NY-based model Imani wearing baggy gray sweatpants with chunky sneakers.
After trying (and failing) to shop the latest New Balance x Aimé Leon Dore drop before it sold out recently, it became clear to me: I am not alone in moving toward a ‘90s off-duty direction this quarantine.
