Just like the smell of freshly mown grass, a BBQ or a trip to the seaside, the summer film is firmly entrenched in our vision of the season. Tales of summer love played out against sun soaked backdrops fill us with nostalgia and an eager anticipation for ice cream weather. To rev up our spring/summer style inspiration, we’ve chosen 4 petite leading ladies from 4 very different summery films.
1. Mila Kunis in ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’
Nothing says holiday vibes quite like Hawaii. Mila’s character works the beach look with taupe and khaki shades, floral accents and cute bikinis. Easy, effortless and pretty. All you need now is the tan!
