Here at Vogue, we are feeling particularly inspired by moments in film that are centered around lounging around at home. Considering many of us are practicing social distancing and staying inside, now’s the time to recreate some of these magical, pro-lazy vignettes—they are essentially a Hollywood case study in looking good while doing absolutely nothing. Why not dress up to simply read a book or make your breakfast? These classic clips encourage us to make our own rules and turn every routine task into a fashion moment.
Take Diane Keaton in Something’s Gotta Give. There’s an unforgettable scene where she and Jack Nicholson make midnight pancakes in the kitchen, and Keaton is wearing nothing but a chic white bathrobe—it looks like linen!—and slippers to match. If you’re going to prance around the house in a robe, might as well make it a minimal one like hers. Or there’s that Breakfast at Tiffany’s scene when Audrey Hepburn’s character rolls out of bed to answer the door in a white men’s shirt, silky blue eye mask, and dangly earrings. Consider it a look to try while having your afternoon nap.
My personal favorite is from The Royal Tenenbaums: Gwyneth Paltrow applies nail polish in her Wes Anderson–designed bathroom wearing a nude lace slip dress, a must-have piece for lazy Sundays. All you need is the perfect topcoat and vintage radio like hers to keep you company, and you’ve suddenly got yourself the perfect DIY-spa setup.
In need of more movie-outfit inspirations to chill at home in? Below, 14 scenes (and the stylish characters in them) to re-create at home—and what to wear to do it.
