I must have been around 12 years old when I first watched The Thomas Crowne Affair starring Piece Brosnan and Rene Russo. Even at such a young age I was instantly drawn to the effortless elegance of Russo's character, Catherine Banning, so reminiscent of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's easy street style. The Catherine Banning character was styled by the film's costume designer Kate Harrington (who previously worked with the likes of Truman Capote and Herb Ritts), who selected pieces from Celine by Michael Kors and Halston amongst others, highlighting the timeless appeal of wardrobe staples like the classic fitted white shirt, the cashmere sweater and the little black dress. Also selected by Harrington were accessories including luxurious fox furs, pearls and kid leather gloves . To shop the look, click here.
To this day, Catherine Banning remains one of my style icons. Below are a few of my favorite looks.
