While there are many cinematic gems that continually serve as fashionable inspiration for any summer holiday, one flick we frequently return to is Anthony Minghella's 1999 adaptation of The Talented Mr. Ripley. Between the sun-drenched Mediterranean locations, beautiful cast, and suspenseful twists-and-turns, this motion picture is everything you would want out of a good psychological thriller. However, we would be lying if we didn't admit that one of the main reasons we continue to revisit this movie is due to the stunning costume designs and styles worn by the main characters: Tom Ripley (Matt Damon), Dickie Greenleaf (Jude Law) and, in particular, Marge Sherwood (Gwyneth Paltrow). Hints of her character's blueblood-debutante-gone-dolce-vita style were also seen this season on some of our favorite runways, specifically Dolce and Gabbana and Nicole Fahri. And while Marge's fashion choices morph from carefree to dramatic as the story progresses, we have decided to pay homage to her warm-weather wardrobe while living in Mongibello (a fictional resort based on Positano and filmed in Ischia) in today's edition of Currently Channeling
