The Desperate Housewives Fashion: Marcia Cross

Ah. . Bree Van De Kamp, the scaringly perfect housewife, played by Marcia Cross. She is my absolute favourite housewife! Probably because she resembles my favourite Sex and the City character Charlotte and because she is super organised-like me! And out of all the desperate housewives, I also love her style the best-the American country club, preppy, prim, feminine and ladylike style. Here are some of my favs:


Waiting to see her son at the correction camp in a very elegant suit with matching pearls.

Chaperoning the school dance in a very Theory cardigan.

Doing LAUNDRY in pearls and a Cynthia Steffe ruffled collared cashmere sweater. WHO looks so neat and wears pearls doing laundry? And WHO has hair THAT perfect doing housework? Going out at events and such I understand. But at home doing housework?? If only that can be achieved in real life.

Walking stylishly along Wisteria Lane. That is just a very chic outfit.

Going on a date with the pharmist looking very classy and ladylike.

Walking down the runway in a distinctly feminine strapless pink dress. Although I must say, those weird ruffles are not working for me.

Off the screen, Marcia Cross's style is not quite as perfect. Like this dress she wore to the ABC upfront party. WHAT was she thinking? I don't know if its just that I'm not used to seeing her like this, or whether she is just looking downright trashy.

At times her style picks up again. Like here at the 7th Annual Young Hollywood Awards. Although different from her on screen look, this simple and young outfit definitely has a distinctive style to it. And lets not forget her really rather lovely and elegant Vuitton dress from the Costume Institute Gala Fashion 2005.

And sometimes. . . I just don't know what to think. You tell me. .

The Too perfect desperate housewife shops at Neiman Marcus, where else?
