Malcolm & Marie (starred by John David Washington and Zendaya) is one of the most watched movies lately, so we couldn’t avoid talking about it. With the amazing performances and the beauty and simplicity of everything in this movie, it really caught our attention. Have you seen it yet?

It’s not the romantic movie you are waiting for, it’s a punch in the stomach, showing the true reality that nobody and nothing is perfect and, for that, it is needed in these pandemic times. This was the first Hollywood project to be entirely written, financed, and produced during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The whole movie takes place in one night, it’s an American black and white romantic drama, that follows a filmmaker called Malcolm and his girlfriend Marie when they get home after his latest film's premiere and start a fight that will test their relationship.

Director Sam Levinson insisted that this movie should be made to be “timeless” so that many years from now the outfits, the sets, and the whole scene will still amaze people. Costume designer Law Roach had chosen only three outfits for Marie in this movie, her clothing changes during the night, helping to contextualise the passage of time and the evolution of the fight, while they discuss the film, their lives, the film industry, and intricacies of their relationship.

So if your feeling obsessed with the elegance and power of Marie’s looks we can help you creating something unique just for you to feel amazing in your own skin!

1. Cut Out Dress

This is the first piece showing in the movie. The shiny and metallic dress with a cut out on the belly, crossed neckline, and side opening on the leg, which Marie wears with some dark tights, for Malcolm’s movie premier. This is a piece that flaunts the curves and sensuality, it is gorgeous, iconic, and sexy.

2. Tank Top

It’s not just a basic white tank top, it was mentioned that Zendaya had to try a lot of different tops with different shapes and cuts and fabrics. It is so important, even when you only want a basic piece, that you understand your body and what it tells you that is more comfortable and stands out the tings you like the most in it, so you can feel sexy every time you wear it!

3. Vintage Kimono

The short flower kimono it’s a timeless piece and Marie wears it over the tank and briefs look. We love kimonos and they are always such comfortable and versatile pieces representing a must have in every wardrobe. Cool curiosity is that this piece is from Zendaya's wardrobe and was lent to her character Marie.
