My Process for Figuring Out Laverne Cox’s Style
Okay, so I kept seeing pictures of Laverne Cox, you know, popping up here and there. And every single time, I’m like, damn, she just looks incredible. Confident, put-together, just… striking. It got me thinking, it’s not just one thing, right? It’s the whole package. So, I decided to spend some time actually looking closely, trying to figure out what makes her style work so well. It became kind of a little project for me.
First thing I did, I just opened up my browser. Didn’t go anywhere specific, just started searching for images. Think red carpets, events, that sort of thing. I wasn’t looking for anything too casual, wanted to see her really dressed up, where you know thought went into the look. I gathered quite a few pictures, just saved them mentally, or sometimes I’d jot down a note if something really stood out.
Then, I started breaking it down. I looked at the actual clothes:
- Silhouettes: She often goes for stuff that really emphasizes her figure. Fitted dresses, things that cinch the waist. Seemed like a pattern.
- Colors: Bold colors pop up a lot. Reds, blacks, whites, sometimes jewel tones. Not afraid to make a statement with color.
- Details: Looked at necklines, any cutouts, fabric choices. She seems to like a bit of drama, maybe some sparkle or an interesting texture. Nothing boring.
It wasn’t just the clothes, though. That’s what I realized pretty quickly. You can wear the best dress, but if you don’t own it, it falls flat. So, I started paying attention to other stuff.
Hair and Makeup: Always polished. Her hair always looks amazing, whether it’s up or down. Makeup is usually glam but fits the look perfectly. It completes the whole picture, doesn’t fight with the outfit.
Posture and Confidence: This was a big one. In every photo, she stands tall. Shoulders back. There’s this energy, this confidence that just radiates. Honestly, I think that’s maybe the most important part. She looks comfortable in her own skin, and totally owns whatever she’s wearing. That’s the real kicker.
So, my “practice” was basically just sitting down, looking critically, and making notes. Trying to see the individual pieces and then how they fit together. It wasn’t super scientific, just me observing. I looked at maybe twenty, thirty different photos over an afternoon. It’s clear she (and her team, probably) puts real thought into creating a powerful image. It’s more than just being “hot,” it’s about presence. And yeah, I definitely got some inspiration just from watching how she carries herself. That confidence thing? That’s something you can practice too, I guess.
