Find Your Film-spiration

This summer, revive Liv Tyler’s ingénue style from Bertolucci’s Stealing Beauty.

The film was released in 1996 when, like now, floral prints were all the rage. Liv wore something like this Topshop Strappy Smock Dress to meet her crush Niccoló (£50). At www.topshop.com

 

Snap up a pair of Current/Elliott’s Super Slouchy Skinnies for today’s take on the faded straight-leg jeans Liv loves (US$237). At www.shopbop.com

 

A black, one-piece maillot is a summer staple. This suit from J-Crew is effortlessly chic and a dead ringer for one Liv dons for a swim in the villa’s rock pool (US$80). At www.jcrew.com

 

Last but not least, splurge on this romantic chiffon maxi-dress from Thomas Wylde (US$1,800). It’s perfect for the Donati’s annual summer party. At www.net-a-porter.com

 

Add one Tuscan villa and a sensitive Italian man and the Stealing Beauty look is complete.
