Get Gwyneth Paltrow’s look: ‘The Talented Mr. Ripley’

In homage to director/writer Anthony Minghella -- who passed away suddenly -- the Rage takes a quick peek at the fantastic look of ‘The Talented Mr. Ripley.’ If you haven’t seen this wickedly good film, rent it pronto. (Watch it with a hunk of fine Pecorino and a bottle of Chianti at your side.) And style fiends should duly take note of the great costume design, by Gary Jones and Ann Roth. This picture of Gwyneth Paltrow -- looking like one of those rich American art patrons who jets off to Capri to find herself and then finds that she really likes young, Italian men and wicker baskets -- deserves some mimicry. Here’s the ‘Gilded Dawn’ skirt from Anthropologie ($98) that’s similar to the one in the film. Pair it with a white button-down shirt, tied at the waist, and some gold gladiator sandals. Love this Moroccan straw beach tote ($25) to complete the look. Get the book, on which the movie was based, by Patricia Highsmith for smart, savage summer reading.

The airfare to the Italian Riviera will cost a bit more.
