Twilight fans have a lot of questions about the clothing in the film. Now that the DVD is available and we can see everything in more detail, we went straight to the source - the film's costume designer Wendy Chuck - to understand what was on her mind.

BELLA'S CLOTHES

“I wanted Bella's (Kristen Stewart) clothing to be different from the youth of Forks because she moved from Arizona and was an outsider,” explains Twilight costume designer Wendy Chuck. “Most of her clothes are warm earth colors with a splash of southwestern elements.” Being the new girl at school wasn't the only obstacle Bella had to face: "Coming from a warm, sunny climate to gloomy, rainy Forks, we wanted Bella to be unprepared for the cold and rain." “That’s why,” Chuck explains, “Bella starts wearing a coat towards the end of the film.”

EDWARD'S CLOTHES

To dress Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) as the teen idol Stephenie Meyer portrayed him as, Chuck says they looked to the style of early 19th century royalty: "His name represents his look, which I think signifies the era of English Edwardian kings. He is the epitome of an Edwardian gentleman - very decent, well mannered and charming." But not all of his clothes were inspired by history. As Chuck points out, “He wears not only early 20th century lace-ups, but also modern sportswear.”

EDWARD'S COAT

“Everyone wants to know where this coat comes from!” exclaims the costume designer. Unfortunately, it is the only one of its kind (more precisely, almost the only one - 4 copies were sewn for filming) which Chuck herself developed after she did not find the ideal option. “We needed a certain size and I couldn’t find the right shade of gray anywhere,” she recalls. “Catherine Hardwicke is very sensitive to characters and everything that helps reveal them, even if it’s the texture of a fabric or color.” After trying on 20 samples, Chuck chose one from Mood Fabrics and, based on it, compiled a final version from different styles. The result is a "classic shape with a modern twist."

BELLA'S BROWN SWEATSHIRT

During the central scene in the parking lot, Bella is wearing a Nordstrom sweatshirt (Rubbish brand) and Ruth Cross mittens—Chuck made a conscious decision not to use designer brands: “I always try to dress characters based on their personalities rather than fashion. It's easy to overdo brands, and I felt Bella needed to be especially grounded in the real world."

BELLA'S CREAM THERMAL JACKET

Shooting in Washington during the winter months means you have to deal with the cold, so Bella had a lot of layers underneath her brown sweatshirt, including this cardigan. The Curious Gypsy Thermal Jacket has thumbholes on the sleeves, making it "a little quirky and special," Chuck says.

BELLA'S BLUE JACKET

The Jack BB Dakota cargo jacket wasn't actually supposed to be used in Twilight. (Cargo style implies the presence of large patch pockets). “I was planning on using a brown sweatshirt for this scene, but the director of photography couldn’t stand the fact that the jacket and hair were the same color and said it blended in,” says Chuck, who had to run to the store at the last minute to find a replacement. “I brought the jacket to the set literally before the cameras turned on. Then Katherine said “Wendy saved the day!” And I became a hero." Good news for fans. Due to its wild popularity, this jacket will be re-released in July for $84.

BELLA'S ACCESSORIES

As Bella's feelings for Edward change, eagle-eyed viewers may notice her wardrobe changing: "Her style changes from tomboyish to more feminine," Chuck says. “But since Bella always wears trousers and the style cannot be changed abruptly, we had to look for details that have a slight touch of femininity.” (Specifically this Lucky Brand embroidered top). Bella's accessories have also changed, with a moonstone ring (Chuck says it's the work of the props department), a headband (custom made) and a delicate turquoise bracelet, "something we think her mom gave her," the costume designer adds. who found the original in Los Angeles and prepared six copies to fit Stewart's slender wrist.

CULLEN FAMILY CLOTHING

Chuck had to pay special attention to the clothes of the Cullen family. "I didn't want to use traditional black... I wanted them to feel cold and icy." So she dressed the family in greys, whites and blues, watching carefully to make sure not to overdo it. “The Cullens have great taste and a lot of money. At the same time, I had to root them in the practical world so that when they went to school they could blend in with the rest.”

MORE ABOUT THE CULLENS... AND THAT COAT OF ARMS

Along with her GUESS jacket, Rosalie (Nikki Reed) wears a scarf (Chuck says it's from Forever 21) and a necklace with the Cullen crest created by the props department. “When I first met Katherine, I came up with the idea that the Cullens should have their own crest, which would be reflected in their accessories,” says the costume designer. “It belongs to the Old World.” Alice (Ashley Greene), who also wears a smaller version of the crest around her neck, is wearing a lace cardigan from Anthropologie. “She's quirky and very artistic, so it was important to dress her with layers and textures and show that she wears clothes differently than everyone else.”

BELLA'S BALL DRESS

Knowing that everyone would pay attention to how Bella would look at the ball, Chuck had to choose her clothes very carefully. She cut the vintage bolero, updated it and re-embroidered it. The dress was found almost by accident: “It was a miracle find!” exclaims Chuck, who picked up a silk Max and Cleo dress at the Ross discount store for just $20. (Fun fact: the last two dresses, so that there was spare material for creating a long one. But, as a result, I left the dress in its original form, using the second one as an understudy). “I always say that I broadcast clothes, not necessarily create them - it’s divine how things happen sometimes!”

With amazing eyes and masculine looks? Bella cannot be called a model with an ideal figure. She is a simple girl of short stature with an ordinary appearance. Edward's beloved is the happy owner of delightful ivory skin, which has always been considered a sign of aristocracy. Her face becomes much more expressive if you apply light makeup, however, despite this, she does not like it at all. The image is complemented by wonderful thick brown hair, which takes on a reddish tint in the light, as well as large brown eyes.

A strange charm and cuteness gives the girl a sweet expression on her face, which always fully reflects her thoughts, feelings and emotions. Her eyes are not capable of lying - because Bella is very sincere and somewhat shy.

Bella looks more mature, despite her 17 years. She is very caring and understanding, which can be clearly seen in her relationship with her parents. The owner of a rich inner world, she attracts young people with her sincerity and responsibility.

Many of those who love the movie "Twilight" dream of becoming like Bella and finding themselves the perfect guy, like Edward Cullen. What is needed for this?

Character

You need to be confident and have good self-esteem. Bella is not one of those girls who is obsessed with her appearance and wardrobe. And this requires courage and confidence in your own good taste.

There is no need to wear bright makeup: no eye shadows or mascara in flashy shades, foundations or decorative cosmetics. Naturalness is above all. The maximum you can afford is powder that will rid your skin of oily shine, lipstick in soft colors and brownish shadows.

Bella's hair falls over her shoulders in large curls. This effect can be achieved by slightly twisting the strands with large curlers. There is no need to spray them with hairspray or do intricate hairstyles.

A girl who dreams of being like Bella needs to choose the right, natural scent. Edward more than once noticed the pleasant smell emanating from his beloved. There is no need to use strong odors; ideally, even deodorant should not smell. Cleanliness, freshness and a subtle, pleasant aroma are all that is required.

Bella has a terrible habit of biting her nails, which is why they are always short. You shouldn't take it from her, but neatly trimmed nails will only bring you closer to the desired look. A manicure with natural shades will only decorate your hands.

Bella's gait is slightly awkward and funny, but this only gives her grace. To become like this charming girl, you need to learn to keep your back straight and walk naturally, without thinking about how your gait looks from the outside.

Bella always wears only what she likes and what is comfortable. Therefore, you should just be yourself and not wear bright flashy outfits. Jeans, sneakers and simple T-shirts are not only comfortable, but also quite cute.

Being like Bella Swan is not so difficult, you just need to be yourself and not be ashamed of it. Naturalness is the main trump card of the heroine of Twilight.

On the eve of the premiere of the fourth film of the Twilight saga, based on the books of the American writer Stephenie Meyer, blogger and columnist on beintrend.com Yulia Tignyan conducted a detailed analysis of the images of heroes from the legendary Twilight saga. Let's take a closer look and compare what's special about the clothing style of the heroes and actors themselves in real life. Today “under the microscope” are Kristen Stewart and her heroine Bella.

The director of the first part, Catherine Hardwicke, set the right tone for the love story between a vampire and an earthly girl, bringing to the fore, first of all, the feelings and difficult relationships of the main characters, which ensured further success of the entire project in advance. Of course, young and beautiful heroes in themselves are already a win-win trend that never goes out of fashion. And skillful direction, script, the incredibly beautiful nature of Canada, where the filming took place, an excellent selection of soundtracks, and, of course, the appearance of the characters - everything together became the key to global success.

The clothes of the heroes, at first glance, seem quite simple and even ascetic, although at the same time they are not devoid of individuality and give each of the heroes their own style, reflecting their character.

Bella Swan is the main character of the saga, a girl who does not follow fashion trends. She is quite self-sufficient and does not like to attract attention to herself. In clothes, first of all, she likes comfort and discreetness, external paraphernalia interests her little, and if she wears something, be it a ring or a bracelet, then it has a special meaning for her and is an important symbol. In general, accents play an important role in the appearance of the heroine. Her ring on her index finger became a real fashion fetish, a thin black hoop on her head of brown hair, large knitted mittens or a bright crimson hat - all these details gave the image a special chic and made the heroine look real.

In her “worldly” life, actress Kristen Stewart is not far from the Twilight heroine. She, like Bella, is a bit of a rebel by nature, a tomboy and a rocker at heart, which is undoubtedly reflected in the clothes she wears outside of filming and going out. Basically, these are jeans, checkered shirts, T-shirts of loose styles and calm colors, and for shoes - your favorite sneakers. But, despite such a sporty arsenal, the actress always looks stylish, girlishly fragile and feminine.

Even appearances on the red carpet, where the dress code requires you to look luxurious, do not give Kristen a reason to cheat on herself. And if she wears a dress, then it will definitely be a little edgy chic: with cutouts, spikes, khaki, in an ensemble with sneakers or black stilettos. The look is completed by the already famous curls, freely flowing in lyrical disorder or carelessly gathered into a ponytail, as at the last MTV Movie Awards.

Dress just like Bella. Don't be too imaginative. Bella almost always wears long sleeves because she lives in Washington. If you live in a hot climate, choose appropriate clothing that is comfortable for you. Wear short sleeves and blend in with the crowd to avoid being the center of attention. Bella didn't dress up differently every day (remember, Bella only had one skirt). But she was known to wear comfortable, practical clothes. Bella mostly wears dark colors such as black, dark blue, dark green, grey, brown, sometimes white. Dark blue would be a good choice because blue is Bella and Edward's favorite color. It is repeatedly mentioned that blue suits Bella very well.

Consider Bella's outfits in the books. In the books she wears these things:

• White lace shirt
• Plain black jacket
• Blue jacket
• Jeans
• Boots
• Beige sweater
• Khaki skirt
• And, of course, her famous prom outfit: a blue frilly dress, Edward flowers in her hair, ribbon sandals and a boot on the other foot.
