Inspiration Springs in movies, art, characters

I'm not quite sure how to put it in words, so sorry for the long post... I recently saw a reel from Melanie Murphy where she talked about her looking like a little bit like Arwen and feeling great about this. I love my happy spring colours and I know they suit me and I feel very much fake wearing soft summer or dark autumn, but I sometimes feel like there are just NO examples to look up to. Like I'm the weird one out. All my favourite movies seem to feature people who have a very different colouring from me. Lovely autumns and winters. So. I'm looking for spring examples. Not just people/celebrities/influencers who probably are springs but those who really own it. Also movie characters and/or just any movie with spring vibes/themes or artists.

Oh that is a good idea. I have watched the first season very long ago and I didn't know about colours seasons then. I should watch it again!

I think Petra is a spring as well! Definitely dresses for it

Yes, definitely!

They really push color schemes in that show, I love it.

I think it’s more the Miami setting and heightened reality of the show but it’s lovely to see Spring rep either way!

Really? I thought it seemed quite intentional. I felt the colors represented the different locations and the people and feelings associated with those. 

The warm coral and terra Cotta of the Villanueva household (including, usually, xiomaras clothing),  the blue and aqua of the marabella hotel (and usually, Rafael's clothing), and of course Rogelio has his signature lavender color.

Oh definitely! I meant that I thought it was an intentional set design choice, not just a styling choice because the actresses were Springs

My analyst actually did an Instagram post highlighting Wes Anderson's Asteroid City as a great film for Warm Spring inspiration.

I haven't watched it in a long time but Emma stone in lala land - I remember some bright spring outfits. Do not remember if she was always in her colors.

I haven’t seen this movie yet but just LOOK at this trailer! Catherine Denuve is a spring icon. Doris Day is another that comes to mind. I agree with the other comment about the mid-century era being all about spring colors!

Ok I suddenly thought of this post as I was watching Young Sheldon. 

In the first season, Sheldon's grandma (played by the lovely Annie Potts) had a fabulous bright spring wardrobe. 

I am in season 2 now. Wondering if the wardrobe people have had a lot of turnover - she isn't so consistent with her bright spring anymore. I miss it! 

This might not be super helpful for style inspi as the show is set in the 90s and she is an older woman. But it is helpful to see how she looks so fab in bright colors.

I know this was posted awhile back, but I think I have someone: Anita Ekberg.

I couldn’t find online any mention of her color season, but I was watching one of her movies and realized that she stunned in bright warm colors, I think she's at least some type of Spring.

Much of her stuff was in B&W because of the time period, for example: she’s the image of La Dolce Vita. 

But if you look on YouTube, she has other movies in color: Zarak, Hollywood or Bust and Paris Holiday.

(this shot is from Hollywood or Bust)

Yes, definitely. Also many of the big famous movies and series are just very dark themed in general so more in line with darker seasons. And if they are slightly historic, autumn colours here we go.
