Critically acclaimed biopic Jackie, which stars Natalie Portman in the titular role, opens in Singapore today. While the film has been most lauded for it’s writing and Portman’s acting, critics have also pointed out the impeccable fashion portrayed in the film.

Jackie O’s wardrobe staples: A camel trench coat, a well-tailored skirt suit or a simple black turtleneck sweater. She was also a lover of sunglasses, often spotted in an oversized pair that became her signature look. Her favourite accessories? An elegant scarf, a dainty watch or classic jewellery to spice up her look.

For casual occasions, she favoured bright and colourful sundresses, most often in a classic A-line shape, and paired them with timeless accessories like a straw hat or a pearl necklace.
