Naomi Lapaglia Wears a Margot Robbie Blue Dress From Chanel’s Autumn/Winter ’22 Collection
When a stockbroker seduces his married wife, he isn’t expecting his wife to turn into a trophy wife. But, as the title suggests, Naomi Lapaglia (played by Margot Robbie) turns out to be a real hottie. She loves bling and gaudy clothes. And she has a thing for hairspray. Interestingly, she wears a polo neck dress in one of the movie’s most memorable scenes. It’s an outfit that has inspired many creators to copy.
Naomi’s costume is a mix of vintage pieces from the 1980s with an edgy touch. Her shoes are a standout. Although the rest of the look is simple, she manages to create a surprisingly feminine ensemble. The pink pumps are a classic that have become a symbol of female dominance.
It’s also no surprise that the dress is from Chanel’s Autumn/Winter ’22 collection. It’s a stunning, if short, red carpet gown that’s a good match for a sultry night on the town. At first glance, it looks like a modern reimagining of a vintage ’50s dress. However, a closer inspection reveals that the dress is crafted from silk patterned with a timeless polka-dot motif. This is paired with an interesting cutout in the bodice that features a diamond shape.
Luckily for fans, the dress is still available for purchase on Net-A-Porter. There are some major differences between the two dresses, such as the absence of the bejewelled tiara. While the top tier dress is a strapless number, the second tier features a halter neck and has a frock-like skirt that is perfect for dancing.
As far as the name goes, it’s not actually the first time that a movie has showcased the pink dress. In fact, it was a summer hit. Other similar styles are still being pumped out by designers such as Vera Wang and Elie Saab. Nevertheless, it’s a nice homage to a lady whose fashion sense is uncanny.
While the dress certainly is a show stopper, it’s not the best way to impress. A more effective choice would be a simple up do or a satin glam look. Obviously, a blazer is more practical than a fancy dress. If you’re looking for something a bit more regal, try a tuxedo, although there’s nothing wrong with a cocktail dress either.
Lastly, the blue dress is a bit of a gimmick. In addition to its eye-popping color, the dress has an abstract print that’s been replicated across many media. What’s cool about the dress is that it’s also accompanied by a chained mini purse, which may just be the most understated accessory ever!
From a styling standpoint, the biggest question is whether or not the gown is worth the price tag. Of course, it’s hard to say for sure without seeing it in person. If you’re in the market for a glamorous dress, you might want to consider the blue gown by Herve Leger or a strapless number by Chanel. Otherwise, you might be better off with the more affordable tiara-inspired dress from one of the many brands that carry this style.
