Style Crush: American Horror Story Coven

 

Name: Every character on American Horror Story Coven.

 

One word to describe style:  Chic.  

 

I get frightened easily; I can’t even sit through Paranormal Activity trailers without covering my eyes. So when American Horror Story first touched down on TV screens, I refused to watch it. Oh the Nightmares that would be had. But then the preview for the third instalment, AHS: Coven, aired with groups of witches rhythmically marching in shooties (a lace-up boot/shoe hybrid), black pencil skirts and chic wide brim hats, and suddenly my attention was caught.
 

Despite the gruesome violence and unsettling story lines, I fell in love with the bloodthirsty sorceresses and voodoo priestesses, and had the urge to wear nothing but black, oversized sunglasses and hats. The vibrant colours of Chanel , Ralph Lauren, Saint Laurent and Vivienne Westwood (to name a few), mixed with blood and vengeance made for a pulsating visual experience that no fashion hungry enthusiast could turn away from, no matter how terrifying.  

 

Favourites:

 

Madison Montgomery (Emma Roberts)- Hollywood wild child mixed with Satan’s spawn. Shimmering heels, bandage dresses, luxe fur vests and figure flaunting skirts. Madison always dresses to impress. Everything she wears is devilishly seductive.  

 

Myrtle Snow (Frances Conroy)- OH MYRTLE HOW I LOVE THE. The flamboyant, red headed, fashionista, who has an outrageously awesome style!  With sparkly cat-eye glasses, luxurious frocks, formal gloves and flattering accessories, Myrtle is always bursting with colour. She lights up the screen with her quirky outfits and compliments the contrasting blacks worn by the other characters, I LOVE IT.

 

Misty Day (Lily Rabe)- Long dresses, knee-high boots and flowery shawls.  She is a bohemian goddess!

 

Honourable mentions:

Fiona Goode (Jessica Lange), dressed in all-black and a striking lip, she radiates wickedness and power. Nan (Jamie Brewer), almost always wears Peter Pan collars, Marie Laveau (Angela Bassett) in her gypsy head pieces and colourful maxi dresses, and pretty much anything Zoe Benson (Taissa Farmiga) wears!
