Fashion Friday: Dynasty Chic

Dec 7, 2012 at 4:30pm by Tori Spelling

 8LjdlqkvyicPQsFImy8YnQrd.jpeg:Amazon:photo

There were so many fun aspects of playing Marci in The Mistle-Tones (which premieres this Sunday at 8/7 c on ABC Family!); I got to sing my fave Christmas songs including a Mariah track (dream come true!), dance my heart out, and work with some fabulous co-stars including momista Tia Mowry and my very own pup Mitzi.

But, I think the best part about playing Marci was the wardrobe. Her fashion inspiration seemed very snowbell faux fur-tastic chic. It was fun and over the top and I absolutely loved it. This meant lots of white, faux fur, sparkly gowns and a special vision of faux fur legwarmers. Doesn't every diva need a pair of those? It was very Joan Collins in Dynasty meets 80’s rom-com villain-ess and I loved every minute of it.

Now Joan Collins’ character Alexis in Dynasty is a total fashion icon, and while we were filming I didn’t even realize the similarities in style between Alexis and Marci. But, recently a friend posted the above pic of Joan Collins as Alexis and I had that OMG moment... it’s SO Marci! You can’t deny the resemblance fashion-wise. Alexis in Dynasty was known for her over the top 80’s style – complete with sequins, shoulder pads, sparkly gowns and fabulous hats. Marci is my version of the modern day Alexis, and I couldn’t be more proud to carry on the Dynasty tradition of total and absolute chicness. My Dad would be proud!!

Will you be tuning into The Mistle-Tones on Sunday (8/7c on ABC Family) to see Marci in her Dynasty-chic finest?

Love,

T

You did the part perfectly though it was hard seeing you be mean because you are so nice in real life. Loved your clothes too. You looked SUPER Chic!!! Hope you get the chance to be in many more movies. You've really got talent girl!!!!

      Happy Holidays to you and your family and extended family, too.

      If only I could!!! Maybe ... someday ... it'll arrive in dark and cold north-west Europe :(
      Have fun at premiere night, at least hope to see a festive picTORIal of that, enjoy it on behalf of me. One advantage though: this way I can keep my focus on Christmas preparations! So many ideas and inspiration, so little time, I guess we all recognize that. Still my fave time of the year, and at least some heavy snowfall over here gets and keeps me in the right mood. #DreamingOfWhiteChristmasses! Have fun T!

      My daughter and I are beyond excited for The Mistle-Tones! The DVR has been set for about a week now so we can watch it over and over! Because well, both you and Tia Mowry are our favorite celebes ever!
