Okay, so I’ve been seeing all these “Hollywood Outfit” challenges and recreations online, and I finally decided to give it a shot. I’m no fashion expert, but I do love a good style challenge, and honestly, who doesn’t want to feel a little glamorous sometimes?
Digging Through the Closet
First things first, I rummaged through my closet. This was probably the longest part. I was looking for pieces that had that classic, slightly retro vibe. Think Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe – you know, that kind of effortless chic.
I pulled out a bunch of stuff: a black turtleneck (always a good start), a flowy midi skirt (could be promising), a pair of high-waisted trousers (maybe?), and a couple of vintage-looking scarves. I even found a pair of those cat-eye sunglasses that I bought ages ago and completely forgot about!
The Experimentation Phase
Next up, the fun part (and also the slightly frustrating part): trying everything on! I started with the black turtleneck and the midi skirt. It looked okay, pretty classic, but maybe a little too plain. I added one of the scarves, tying it around my neck. Better! It definitely added a pop of color and that vintage touch I was going for.
Then I tried the high-waisted trousers with a simple white blouse I found tucked away. I tucked the blouse in, of course, and added a thin belt. This felt more “Hollywood” to me, more structured and sophisticated.

Accessorizing is Key
Accessories! I played around with the cat-eye sunglasses – definitely a must. I also found a pair of simple pearl earrings that my grandma gave me. They were perfect! Small details, you know, they can really make a difference.
For shoes, I opted for some classic black heels. Nothing too crazy, just something to elevate the look (literally and figuratively!). And finally, I grab a red lipstick to get a super Hollywood star temperament.
The Final Verdict
I ended up going with the high-waisted trousers, white blouse, belt, sunglasses, and pearl earrings combo. It felt the most “Hollywood” to me, and it was something I actually felt comfortable and confident in. It wasn’t a perfect replica of any specific iconic look, but it definitely captured the spirit of that classic Hollywood style, I think.
It was a fun little experiment! It’s amazing how just putting together a few simple pieces in a different way can make you feel like a whole new person. Maybe I’ll try another Hollywood outfit next week!
