A look at what makes Margot Tenenbaum's style so good, even 20 years later
Margot Tenenbaum, portrayed by Gwyneth Paltrow. Stepping out of a Green Line bus to meet her brother Richie , she wears a long mink overcoat and a brown Hermès Birkin bag. Her eyes are rimmed heavily with black eyeliner, and her blunt bob is punctuated with a red barrette. It’s a glamorously retro ensemble that certainly does not fit the setting—have you worn such a look on public transit?—but it’s one that Margot goes on to wear throughout the film.
Or maybe even more so, Margot’s refined style remains one of the movie’s calling cards two decades later. A gifted playwright who has been adopted into the Tenenbaum family, Margot is an outsider. That’s only underscored by her fashion sense; She’s decidedly more fashion-forward than the rest of the Tenenbaums. But her looks, while distinctive, are never overstyled. In one scene, she’s smoking in the bathroom while painting her toes anda tight, nude slip dress.
It’s easy to see Margot’s influence on the runways in recent years. Many designers have sent out looks that Margot herself could model down the runway—and while they’ve never blatantly cited her as an inspiration, you can’t deny the gamine similarities. A look from Alessandro Michele’s fall 2015 show for Gucci—including a fur coat, loafers, and red beret—is almost a spot-on replica of Margot’s look, though he updated and streamlined it.
