Sometimes we have to go through a villain era, okay? And this territory comes with bold, unexpected clothing, shoes, and jewelry, especially in a color palette that doesn’t necessarily scream “fall.” Take inspiration from the anti-heroes of Scream Queens (yes, we know it’s a TV show) with posh pearls, capes, and tweed or from Carrie with a sweet slip dress (pre-blood soaking). You can doll up your look even more with satin bow earrings reminiscent of the hair bows worn by Esther in Orphan or bright pink or red wedges like those worn by Jennifer in Jennifer’s Body. (Espadrille wedges in the fall are truly unhinged, but we’re down for it.) Or if you want to be like the titular villainous protagonist in Pearl, don a red puff-sleeve dress and cry out, “Please, I’m a star!” because yes you are.
