The Serpent: The Ultimate 70s Style Edit

By Daniella Saunders

5 years ago

Aviators, flares & bohemian prints galore


Despite its spine-chilling narrative, BBC’s The Serpent – based on the sinister life of thief and murderer Charles Sobhraj (Tahar Rahim) and starring our January/February cover star Ellie Bamber – offers some serious 70s style inspiration.

Amidst the violence and suspense is a plethora of noteworthy bohemian outfits, particularly those worn by Jenna Coleman as French-Canadian Marie-Andrée Leclerc (Sobhraj’s beguiling ‘partner in crime’), from the aviator sunglasses to the printed satin shirts, high waisted flares and halter-necks. Keen to sport some 70s vibes? Consult our edit for the very best that the trend has to offer right now.
