The true measure of a fashion icon goes far beyond access to designer wares. After all, a great stylist and near-unlimited budget unlock all sorts of luxury pieces, including the rarest archival designs. What's more impressive, however, is when a style star elevates a brand that's high-street and turns it into high-fashion. One such fashionista is Anne Hathaway, who went viral for wearing a white poplin shirtdress from Gap to attend a luxurious Bulgari event.
On Netflix's Wednesday, Jenna Ortega's titular character is confined by a strict dress code. After all, private schools, even those for "outcasts" like werewolves, vampires, sirens, gorgons, and more, typically require a uniform. And Nevermore Academy's is pretty standard, demographics considered. All enrollees wear a striped skirt suit, which includes a blazer, a matching pleated midi skirt, a sweater vest, a white button-down, and, finally, a necktie. They're preppy monsters.
Ortega didn't just channel any ensemble off recent runways, however, the You alum pulled from the archives, particularly, the 2000 collection designed by then-creative director John Galliano.
