Celebrity Inspiration: Shop the TV screen with Spylight
updated the 6 October 2015 à 23:22
Looking for an outfit worn by your favourite celebs? Online site, Spylight features hundreds of outfits and accessories worn by the likes of Blake Lively in Gossip Girl and Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City.
Whenever we look for an outfit – special occasion or not – we tend to draw inspiration from everywhere – the streets, blogosphere, social networks, magazines, TV, movies and so on. Then we land on a dress or a style we love and attempt to reproduce the look. It’s fun, but sometimes we can be so lazy and would just like to find the exact dress with as minimal effort.
Thanks to the magical combination of fashion and technology, this dream can now become a reality.
The new website, Spylight, enables us to shop instantly for the outfit worn by our favourite on-screen characters. The site teams up with production studios to source the exact wardrobe worn by the actor and actress on set – from the gorgeous accessories worn by Blake Lively (as Serena) in Gossip Girl to the stylish looks of Sarah Jessica Parker (as Carrie Bradshaw) in Sex and the City.
How does this awesome innovation work?
First of all, you have to select the TV show or movie.
Then, to find the outfit you want to recreate, pick the character whose style you love. You can also browse by season, scene and so on.
Once you choose the character, season or scene, a series of outfits will emerge on your screen.
Select your favourites and the site will list the exact garment and accessory worn by the character and redirect you to an online store that stocks them.
The site provides similar look-alikes for the pieces that are not immediately recognised. And good news, it offers lower-priced alternatives to expensive pieces.
We just love this ingenious online shopping experience! Now, as their tagline says, let’s “Shop the screen”!
