If a soft, blurry pout is the defining makeup look of a romcom, what’s the defining fashion of the genre? For one, there’s always a gorgeous evening look. Think of Jennifer Lopez in that strapless Bob Mackie gown in Maid in Manhattan or Julia Roberts’s red dress in Pretty Woman. Actor Lili Reinhart, who is currently on a press tour for her new romcom The Love Hypothesis, out this month on Prime Video, recently threw it back to another iconic film look—a butter-yellow gown that’s a dupe of the one worn by Kate Hudson in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days back in 2003. Her stylist Ib Abdel Nasser promised Elle that the pair will be paying homage to “the leading ladies of the Golden Age of rom-coms and romance films” all this month, so we’re excited to see what’s ahead.
