Disaffected teens unite and pull those plaid shirts out of the closet –
it's time to recreate the look of one of the most iconic anti-heroines of
1990s television drama, Angela Chase. As the queen of angst, actress Claire
Danes was frequently clothed in the mish-mash alternative rock style of the
early part of the decade, which for you means either digging through your
pile of castoffs or heading down to the local thrift shop to land some of
the components you will need to make your Angela Chase look authentic.- A flower-print dress, which can be worn over a grey t-shirt or dark leotard, depending on your mood.
- A man's plaid shirt, either tied around the waist or hanging open off of your shoulders.
- Dark tights.
- And of course the piece-de-resistance: a dark metallic red wig (one below will need some trimming) and rich red lipstick. If you're feeling particularly daring, then throw caution to the wind and just dye your hair to match Angela's dramatic doo.
If you plan on hitting up a costume party with a few friends, why not make it a 'My So-Called Life' reunion and convince your buds to go as Jordan Catalano, Rayanne Graff or Rickie Vasquez, who each have their own particular 90's look. It's an uncommon cast of characters that should have other attendees congratulating you on your originality.
