Fashionistas in Film: Mia Wallace

In the 1994 hit crime film, Pulp Fiction, directed by Quinten Tarantino, Uma Thurman plays the sexy and mysterious, Mia Wallace. With her simple and elegant fashion, one would never guess she’s the wife of LA’s most infamous gangster. The classic Mia Wallace outfit consists of a loose-fitting yet shapely white button down, a lacey black bra peaking out underneath and some fitted black Capri pants. But, don’t forget the crimson red lips and black eyeliner OR the jet-black bob with straight bangs. She represents the classic women’s fashion in the nineties with a touch of flare only her character could pull off.

             

Sharp tailoring, classic shapes and clean lines define Mia’s style. Rendered in stark black and white, the effect is dramatic and memorable, just like her character.

Mia doesn’t need to wear bright color to express her personality, as it’s already colorful enough. She adds interest to her outfits through small details. She is far too much her own person to be trendy; she prefers classic styles and silhouettes. She is fully aware that in many cases, less is more.
