Bring 'The Lord of the Rings' to Life in Your Wardrobe with these Ethereal Dresses Inspired by 15 Characters
What would these characters wear today? Or better yet, what could I wear, inspired by them? (Outside of Halloween that is.)
Recently, I holed up for an entire weekend to watch “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy — extended editions — for the first time.
Disclaimer: I’m fully aware that I’m about 25 years behind and that this is rather the embarrassment for a fantasy and Harry Potter nerd. But better now than never, right?
And don’t worry, I loved it. The ring clearly has its power over me because I’m already itching for another marathon.
That seems to always happen with fantastical movies, and even more so with books. They leave my mind wandering in the magical realm even after I’ve left the screen or pages and returned to the real world.
I love the mythical creatures, the enchanted lands, and of course, the fashion.
The latter got me thinking: What would these characters wear today? Or better yet, what could I wear, inspired by them? (Outside of Halloween that is.)
So, here’s a roundup of 15 whimsical and ethereal dresses inspired by 15 “Lord of the Rings” characters, from the Fellowship of the Ring to villains and leading women.
Okay as a fellow LOTR fan, this was a straight-up delight from top to bottom! I never thought Sauron could be so fashionable.
