13 Things to Know About Our Style Crush Lucy Boynton
STYLE MANTRA
“As long as you feel good in something, it doesn’t matter what other people think," said Boynton. "You just have to own it. You’ll never regret wearing something you really love.”
DREAM DESIGNERS
“Miu Miu and Prada keep fashion fun, and Chanel’s recent space-themed collection is stunning. I’ve always been a huge fan of Valentino too. I never wanted to take off the pink gown I wore to the Gypsy première. It was a magical dress for a magical moment.”
STYLE ICON
“I’ve always liked higher necklines, and Mia Farrow is my ultimate inspiration. The baby-doll dresses with big Peter Pan collars that she wore in Rosemary’s Baby were iconic. I’ve been drawn to similar looks ever since.”
DECADES OF INFLUENCE
“I’m getting more adventurous with my style, but you probably won’t see me in a completely formfitting dress anytime soon. I much prefer the silhouettes of the ’40s and ’50s—although the ’80s became a big influence for me after Sing Street. I got far too comfortable wearing bright blue eye shadow.”
COSTUME KEEPSAKE
“In Murder on the Orient Express I wore the most exquisite looks, including one outfit with a hand-stitched sequined veil. If I could get away with wearing it every day, I would! My other favorite was a beautiful brown suede jacket that was custom-made for me. On the last day of filming, the costume designer slipped it into my bag and I snuck off with it.”
GO-TO ACCESSORIES
“For the red carpet I like a platform heel, but for everyday it’s mostly Converse high-tops or booties with black tights. Right now my favorite thing I own is a raspberry cross-body bag from Prada’s fall collection. I work all my outfits around it.”
FASHION FANTASY
“I’m drawn to romantic and ethereal looks. I feel most like myself in lighter pieces and pastels. I’m obsessed with lilac at the moment.”
RED-CARPET GOALS
“Elle Fanning is constantly willing to take risks, and I really admire that. And Kiernan Shipka has never made a wrong step. Her fashion history is gold.”
Creative Chameleon
“My style changes based on my mood or the films that I’ve seen lately. I recently watched Paper Moon, and it was a complete inspiration even though the protagonist is an 11-year-old girl. You'll be seeing me in dungaroos soon.”
FANCY FEET
“All my life I’ve coveted the mary janes from the movie Annie. And recently I finally found a similar pair at the French shoe store Carel. I bought them in bright red and powder blue, and they’re the absolute best.”
SHOPPING SPOTS
“My usual go-to is & Other Stories, because it’s always a safe bet even though each collection tends to be very different from the last. Zara is another favorite.”
COLOR OF CONFIDENCE
“I’m always drawn to the color red, whether it's a red dress, a red lip, or my bright red Carel shoes. It’s always been my favorite color to wear and what I feel most confident in.”
BEAUTY ESSENTIAL
“My beauty essential is anything that helps me get big doe eyes—that’s the look I love. I always use MAC Haute and Naughty mascara because it comes with two brush options, one’s thin and the other is thicker. I've been searching for the perfect mascara for years and I finally found it in that.
