admin My favorite Amanda look comes at the beginning of the film, when her driver drops her off at her new U.K. holiday home. She sports an incredible brown trench coat with white shearling trim, complete with a white turtleneck, black skinny-fit trousers, and sky-high stilettos (which she wears in the snow). She then proceeds to cart her three huge suitcases—presumably filled with even more fabulous clothes!—through the snowy terrain, up to the house. As the movie continues, Amanda holds on to her effortlessly chic style. For her first night in the cozy cottage home, she drinks red wine while lounging around in a chunky cream cable-knit sweater, gray sweats, and a lilac beanie—a gray scarf slung effortlessly around her shoulder. (You have to watch her drunkenly sing “Mr. Brightside.”) I’m totally influenced to channel her quietly luxurious approach to style this holiday season, when elevated cozy dressing has its time to shine.

Amanda does, however, deliver a few splashier evening looks in the movie, too (should you need inspiration for any upcoming holiday parties). When she pops over for a visit at Jude Law’s home, she arrives wearing an incredible cream coat, unbuttoning it to reveal a black top and cream pencil skirt that’s punctuated with a wide crystal-buckle belt. “I know, I’m a tad overdressed,” she quips. “You look like my Barbie,” Law’s daughter says. Even Amanda’s approach to formal wear is decidedly sleek and pared-back. Her closet basically makes the case for timeless investment pieces: You can clearly still turn heads in a simple, but well-cut, silhouette. So, this holiday season, you’ll find me slipping into my best Nancy Meyers neutrals, too. If you find me drunk-singing to The Killers at home, though, that’s none of your business.
