Best Dressed On TV: Part 2

Okay! So! Here it is. The much anticipated sequel to my Best Dressed on TV blogpost. Just kidding. It's, like, possibly anticipated by some of my friends who had a lot of suggestions after my last post went up. But I thought I'd do another couple "best dressed on TV" segments because holy moly there are a lot of well dressed women on the televisions, yeah? Like before, these are in alphabetical order by first name. Just because that's how they were saved in my little file deal. Right. Let's get going.

Abby Mills - Sleepy Hollow

Abby Mills rocks strictly neutral colors. She layers up camis, t-shirts, and jackets. She has one serious tough-chick jacket collection. Her clothes are always well fitted. She's always wearing a "seriously fed up with this nonsense" facial expression and her favorite accessory is a super hot angry-old-man-in-a-young-man's-body. There is a reason that everyone who meets her immediately becomes instilled with the desire to help and protect her. And that reason is that she is freaking fabulous. 

April Ludgate - Parks and Recreation

April wears a lot of loose clothing and she usually wears layers. Often, she'll wear pants, a loose t-shirt, and a cardigan but she also likes to pair button downs with loose sweaters. When she wears dresses, she usually wears pretty simple cuts that hang loosely around her. Her preferred accesories include: a biting wit; Champion, her three legged dog; Andy, her goof of a husband; and a sour expression. Straight up, April Ludgate is a goddess and we all kind of want to be her, right? 

Belle Gold - Once Upon A Time

Straight up, what was her last name before she married Rumpelstiltskin? Anyway, Belle is pretty pro at "wearing exactly what she feels like." Sometimes, she's like straight out of a 1930's film, and sometimes she's dressed like a hot modern hipster, but no matter what she looks preppy and polished. Yeah, even that time she paired a pattern button down sleeveless shirt with a high-waisted miniskirt that quite frankly didn't match anything in all of Storybrooke. You know the time I'm talking about, right? No? Oh well. Anyway, she's super stylin' which is impressive because she went from the enchanted forest to a 28 year sentence in an insane asylum. Like, she did not have 28 years to acclimate to modern era attire like the rest of Storybrooke did. AND YET, she did not pull a Captain Guyliner and insist on wearing her old threads once she got her memory restored. It's impressive. The big downside to Belle, though, is that she is literally always with Rumpelstiltskin. Like, she's smart and cool and has a whole host of awesome lady friends but can you find her hanging out with anyone who isn't her greasy-haired hubby? No. (I know, I know, usually I'm like, "check out the dude who puppy dog style follows her around" but in this instance? I don't think he's good enough for her. So sue me. PLUS the other ladies in the show who are in relationships I approve of still get to hang out with people who aren't their significant other. You know what I'm saying.)

Emily Fields: Pretty Little Liars

All of the little liars are pretty fashionable from time to time... but unlike Hannah or Aria, Emily never wears rose-patterned leggings with a weird jacket dress. That's not a real outfit reference, but Hannah and Aria both wear really weird things from time to time. And unlike Spencer, Emily has yet to go to sweatpants/sweatshirt/unbrushed hair/drug addiction levels of depressed. Anyway! Emily wears a lot of fitted jeans, long sleeve shirts, vests, and jackets. Plus she has gorgeous hair. Like seriously, seriously gorgeous hair. And there's always some pretty girl following her around, trying to make out with her. Okay, sometimes the "pretty girl following her around" isn't "trying to make out with her" and is "trying to ruin her and her friends' lives" but whatever. You get my point. 

Felicity Smoak - Arrow and sometimes Flash

Felicity Smoak is super kind and super smart. And I think kindness and intelligence are top notch stylistic attributes. She's also brave enough to rock bright blush and lipsticks. Sometimes she wears really short and fitted ensembles which makes you totally not suspect that she's assisting a super hero. Her signature look is the pulled-back-ponytail but she'll let her hair down if she's got a date. Or if she's acting as psycho-serial-killer bate. Point is, if I was a billionaire vigilante, I'd be crazy in love with her, too. (Also sometimes the people in love with her are just billionaires or just vigilantes but if Oliver Queen could just get over his obnoxious bullspit we wouldn't have to worry about the other billionaires or the other vigilantes and she could have the whole billionaire/vigilante package. Sigh.)

Jessica Williams - The Daily Show with Jon Stewart

Okay so TECHNICALLY Jessica Williams is a person and not a "character" per se, but she's well dressed and lovely and on TV so... she counts. Jessica Williams is SO FUNNY. She's seriously SERIOUSLY funny. And lovely. And I'm in love with her. Anyway, you know how I said kindness and intelligence are stylish attributes? Well, humor? SO STYLISH. Jessica Williams fashion wise is awesome. She wears a lot of suits, which is really exciting because women look good in suits and one time Tina Fey said that the first woman to be a late night TV show host would probably be a suit-wearer and I would watch the heck out of Late Night With Jessica Williams. Also, she can really rock a costume. Plus her hair always looks amazing. And did I mention that she's super funny?

Kira Yukimura - Teen Wolf

Kira wears a lot of tights, mini skirts, patterned dresses, and leather jackets. She wields weapons like a pro, is super pretty, and always hangs out with other well-dressed and gorgeous ladies. She pulls off every look from the "hoodlum about to steal this stuff" to "sporty about to steal this base" to "gorgeous about to steal this heart from this dude right here." Also all the wolves are in love with her.

Sookie St. James - Gilmore Girls

Sookie is so cute. Seriously, seriously cute. She's always doing something fun with her hair: ponytails, braids, curls, and bandanas. When she's cheffin' it up, she wears chef's jackets with really cute and fun patterns and bandanas to protect the food from her hair. Outside of the kitchen, she wears cute skirts, patterned button downs, and cardigans. And whenever the town is having some cool shindig, she's 110% in, which is why in that picture on the far right she's rocking the victory rolls and a vintage dress. And! When there's a fancy event, she's always dolled up in pretty dresses. (Also props to Gilmore Girls for promoting female friendships/relationships and for having a curvy character who is never mocked or scolded or even insecure about her size AND gets everything she wants! You have no idea how hard I clutch onto Sookie St. James from Gilmore Girls.) 

Sophia Burset - Orange Is The New Black

Pre-transition, Sophia hid her femininity beneath masculine clothing. But even then she seriously loved beautiful things. The bulk of the show is set in a women's prison, so 99% of the time, Sophia is dressed like all of the other ladies in bland jumpsuits (although, her hair and makeup are always scores better than the rest of theirs. PLUS she has a really cute robe and made herself some super stylish duct tape shower shoes, so there's that.) But before being arrested, her style was really polished. She primarily wore solid-colored dresses and took tips from her wife to dress polished.

Okay! So, those are my nine features for this segment of "Best Dressed On TV!" I will probably be doing another one of these posts someday... SO leave any suggestions for well dressed women in the comments and I may feature them next time around!
