PRETTY IN PINK
IN AMStERDAM, Villanelle’s ensemble reflects her playful mood, as she has seemingly reached some sort of detente with her nemesis, Eve — with whom she shares a mutual, obsessional attraction.
‘She’s writing love letters to Eve,’ reveals Mitchell. ‘She’s quite loved up. She’s on holiday being childish. I wanted to give her a demure, iconic Hollywood look.’
She teamed a vintage pink taffeta skirt with this blouse by U. S. designer Rosie Assoulin. ‘I tied a knot in the front in the way they used to in the Fifties, which helped push the blouse back off the shoulders,’ says Mitchell.
Villanelle’s eclectic style meant the look ‘ needed something else’, so Mitchell found supersize Eighties gold earrings by Christian Lacroix. She says: ‘they are bonkers, but being Villanelle — and Jodie — she pulls it off.’
