“Daisy Jones & The Six”: Embracing the 70s In Style
By Olivia Petretich | April 15, 2023
The highly anticipated television series adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s “Daisy Jones & The Six” was released last month on Amazon Prime. The book dives into the nostalgia of the 70s and the free spirit culture of the time - the fashion in the show and on the red carpet has been no different.
Written in interview style 20 years after the fictional band broke up, Reid’s book was bound to make it to the TV screen. The show follows main singer, Billy Dunne, and his band The Six through their tumultuous rise to fame. Every character plays a key role in narrating their perspective on how the events unfolded, making their personal style an important aspect of the show.
The stars’ looks during their red carpet debut reflected their respective characters’ styles with a bit of nuance. Leading lady Riley Keough sported a black Schiaparelli outfit, combining the sparkles of the 70s with eccentric green statement earrings. Keogh plays Daisy Jones, the breakout star that later joined the band; her outfit on the carpet reflects this movie star-esque character arc.
Camila Morrone, who plays lead singer Billy Dunne’s wife, also opted for a dramatic, all-black look. Throughout the show, Morrone is portrayed as the loyal, stunning woman who stole Dunne’s heart - a look she emphasized on the carpet. Singer/songwriter Suki Waterhouse stunned in a flowing sheer green dress accented with large statement earrings.
Sam Clafin, who plays lead Billy Dunne, sported a minimalistic look with a maroon suit. His style throughout the show is simplistic and rugged, as he struggles with fame and addiction, making his carpet look a nice switch up. Dunne’s bandmates, played by Josh Whitehouse and Sebastian Chacon, dressed in contrast to Clafin, playing into the funky style of the 70s. Whitehouse wore an embellished moto jacket, adding a pop of color to his look, while Chacon embraced his inner rockstar with an edgy pinstripe suit.
“Daisy Jones & The Six” gives its audience a reason to embrace the rock ‘n’ roll culture of the 70s by jumping into the past with both music and style.
