Hunger Games: Catching Fire

I'd like to start off this post by saying if you haven't already had the pleasure of seeing Catching Fire in theaters the past few days, GO SEE IT NOW. I'm really not a big fan of book-to-movie movies, but this one was fantastic. The costumes are completely breathtaking, Jenifer Lawrence's acting is spot-on, and the boys are hotter than ever.





I mean seriously... I'm drooling...


But back to the costumes...

Net-a-Porter created a line of clothing inspired by the movie and designed by the same designer that created Effie Trinket's outfits. It's called Capitol Couture, and the prices range from $75-$995. If this is a little out of your price range, you can try these looks inspired by the many eccentric characters in the movie.


Effie Trinket

In the first installment of the Hunger Games, Effie sported many different hats and hair pieces paired with dresses with lots of volume and ruffles. 

Although Effie's style changes in the most recent movie, she still rocks the bright, bold colors and outrageous dresses. Here's an outfit inspired by Effie perfect for the holidays!

Effie's Blue Feather Outfit


I absolutely love cobalt. Love love love love love. So obviously this was one of my favorite Effie dresses! I paired a long sleeve blue dress with some matching blue heels. The black sleeves of the dress are similar to Effie's feathered sleeves. To get the feather effect you can add some grey or black feather earrings.Finish it off with a gold belt and necklace and you're set, all for under $75!

Katniss Everdeen

Anyone who's seen the movie or read the books wishes they had Cinna as a stylist to design all of their outfits. His "Girl on Fire" dresses have been a highlight in all of the Capitol scenes. Although Katniss doesn't fit the girly-girl profile, she gets to wear the most beautiful, show-stopping dresses. 






As she spun, her wedding dress burnt up into a black dress that had Mocking Jay wings. I wish things like this could happen in real life... Although this is a very unique dress, I chose to take a closer look at her chariot ride outfit.

Katniss's Chariot Ride Outfit 


This dress... There aren't words to describe how much I loved this dress. I was on the edge of my seat during the movie, waiting for her to push the button to start their outfits on fire. The wait was worth it. The sparks flew off her dress and Peeta's vest and it was just gorgeous! Don't they just look so BA?! I found a dress with a similar neckline that, fortunately, will not start on fire. The shoes add that fire-y look to the outfit with their texture. Pair this with a red or orange bag and some sparkly earrings and you're ready to go
