Fifty Shades of Grey-Inspired Style: Two Sides of Ana
By Couture Snob Tina
April 11, 2012

The latest book sensation (at least on the female front!) is erotic, not what you would call well-written, yet completely, utterly addictive. I got hooked on the series recently – and started thinking about Anastasia Steele’s style evolution, which blossoms along with her intense, submissive-dominant relationship.

Ana starts off a simple, virginal girl, a 21-year-old student who has never had a boyfriend. When she meets Christian Grey during an interview, she is docile and unsure of herself, literally tripping and falling into his office. Her modest purple shift dress comes at graduation, a loaner from her bestie-roomie, Kate.

As she develops in the book, Ana becomes more confident – and dresses the part (thanks to Christian’s billions and a personal shopper at Neiman Marcus). Enter the daring silver mini-dress! Her friends talk her into it, and Christian gets in a fight at a nightclub over a guy groping her in it. The change has arrived. She starts revealing she’s no submissive; actually, it’s she who is the real dominant in the relationship.

Just another example of dress imitating life! Here’s how to recreate Anastasia’s dual sides. Are you more DVF or Hervé Leger?
