Pushing Daisies

I am no fashionista. Clothes are the least of my interest, if you compare this with my TV obsession. But I do know a fabulous dress worn by an equally fabulous clothes-horse when I see one. And Chuck, in my book of styles, has always been a consistently  best-dressed TV character.

I had planned on doing an entry about this show’s wardrobe department before, because like everything about Pushing Daisies, wardrobe choices for each of the characters go very well with the whole story. The clothes make the show and the characters look really great on TV. And it’s this kind of thing that doesn’t escape the viewers’ critical eye. The style team behind this show ought to be commended and recognized for it.

But for now, I will zero in on Chuck’s wardrobe. Because I don’t know if you have noticed…her style has evolved in the past few episodes.

Chuck’s style used to be obviously inspired from the 40’s - 60’s era. In the first installments of the show, her look was very elegant and glamorous. A lot of people have said that her style reminded them of Audrey Hepburn and I say the same thing, too.

This red dress below is a favorite. It brings out her sweet, prim and delicate side yet at the same time, the fiery red color of the dress elicits sensuality and sex appeal.

In succeeding episodes, Chuck deviated from her glamorous look to become a flower child from 1969, with her hippie clothes and her messy hairstyle. And what’s with the pointy witch’s hat?

Is her evolution supposed to mean something?

What do you like better? Glamorous Charlotte or Hippie Chuck?
