Maggie Gyllenhaal is famous for her quirky and irreverent sense of fashion. Often taking an almost costume approach to her clothes, she picks and chooses the best from different decades and designers and is not afraid to stand out.
We show you how to steal her look...
Eclectic Casual I can probably count on one hand the amount of times I have seen Maggie in pants. A fan of skirts and dresses, she often plays around with patterns and colours to add dimension to basic silhouettes. To get the look, choose patterns that incorporate the colours of the season and layer up with detailed jewellery and other eclectic touches.

Gorgeous Glam An example of Maggie putting vintage fashion ideas into play, this 30s inspired ensemble is a classic yet different evening wear choice. For those who want to tone down the drama, swap the faux fur throw for a simple pashmina or woollen wrap to keep the cold out and give a cleaner line to the outfit.

Classic Red Carpet This swish contempary look is Maggie’s take on the little black (or blue!) dress. Whilst the dress plays with lines and fabrics, the subdued tone and simple accessories mean she looks classic and stylish and not at all over done. Look for dresses which feature detailing such as interesting hemlines, fine fabrics or beading in monotone colours like grey, black, brown or even earth toned pink.

Hair and Beauty Maggie tends to keep her signature brown locks above the shoulder, the most definable thing about them has to be how shiny and straight they are. If you have curly or wavy hair and crave Maggie's signature shine use a pair of high quality straightners (1). Maggie’s skin is evened out with a mineral powder that hides imperfections without hiding her skin. If you have stunning eyes like Maggie also think about opting for a pale colour like she often does. A light brown eyeshadow (3) lining the eye can open and brighten more than the typical dark liner.
