Sandra Bullock: The Proposal Fashion
E-MAIL THIS POST
Sandra Bullock’s latest romantic comedy, The Proposal, earned more than $35 million since its opening on Friday (6/19/2009) making it for Bullock the #1 movie in 10 years, and her best opening ever.
We were wondering about Sandra Bullock’s wardrobe having a distinct vintage look, and costume designer Cat Thomas, who styled Bullock for the movie, had a perfect explanation for us. Bullock’s character, Margaret Tate, is a powerful woman — very uptight and strict. Her clothes is her armor — the tighter, the stronger and hardened, the better. There was a need for a structured silhouette, and Bullock’s wardrobe was inspired by the silhouette of the ’40s, as worn by Katherine Hepburn and Rosalind Russell.
“There was nothing that we could pull from a department store,” Thomas recalls. “Designing for Bullock’s character was about building every piece of clothing for this powerful woman who is very confined. Everything was about her power, yet had to be feminine at the same time.”
Bullock’s pencil skirt was purposely made longer so that she would be more nipped in and would have to alter the way she walked.
