New Look (Mood Board) : Juliet Capulet Romeo & Juliet (1968)

 

• Juliet was born into a family of wealth. Not quite 14 years of age, she finds herself moving from childhood to adulthood almost instantly after meeting Romeo and for the first time felt that she was no longer a child but now a woman.
• Juliet’s character is one that is outgoing, she is well mannered, a strong girl who finds herself in love and is always impeccably dressed.
• The Capulet home is a traditional, spacious mansion and Juliet’s bedroom is quite large with a decor fit for royalty.  The Angelic bed frame has a wall fixture that gives her bed an enchanting, draped and canopy-like headboard. The colour scheme of Juliet’s bedroom is both light and airy and features creams, offset with trims of gold. Truly fit for a princess.
• Juliet’s balcony is covered by a delicate, climbing vine that has adorable, light pink flowers. The perfect setting for a romantic scene.
• Key words “rose,” “orchid” and “sweet” were obtained from Juliet’s script and used as décor elements. Other objects that enhanced the sweet theme included: unicorns, pink jelly beans, perfume, posters, candles, a chandelier and lanterns. The words spoken by Juliet give an indication of the things that she adores.
• The leading element for the wardrobe colour scheme is innocence. We have chosen two main colours; white for purity, energy and kindness, while, light pink is feminine, romantic, affectionate, intimate, thoughtful and caring.
• Juliet does not have a credit card limit and can afford to be at the forefront of the latest trends and fashions at all times. Juliet is pictured on the mood board in a “New Vintage” hero gown by Chanel that is both traditional and lovely. It is worn to the Capulet party and also for the balcony scene. Juliet steals the attention of all the guests who are stunned by her elegance, beauty and finally her breath-taking gown.
• Juliet has long lushest hair which is well kept by her maid. It is extremely long hair and is swept to the side in messy, ultra-modern fishtail braids. 
• Makeup has been chosen to suit a solid blonde. Green eyes pop with a typical smoky black eye but then completely transformed with beautiful, coloured diamantes. The rest of her makeup features a very natural look.
• Glamorous, manicured white nails with shimmering silver glitter as a top coat is both elegant and yet does not overpower her stunning dress.
• Juliet’s everyday items and accessories have been carefully chosen to reflect her wardrobe style. Her  handbag, watch and shoes all have different shades of light pink highlights that are complemented with white, and finally, have a finish that glitters.
• Her iPhone is the latest in mobile technology ensuring she is always “connected.”
