Trend Report Inspired by: ‘ The Graduate’


BY HOLLY E. THOMAS One of Hollywood’s most iconic silver- screen sex kittens, Anne Bancroft’s chic-yet-sultry Mrs. Robinson, made a cameo in an array of fall collections, from the trim suits at Dolce & Gabbana to Miu Miu’s black shifts, imbued with a restrained allure. In director Mike Nichols’s 1967 fi lm, Bancroft uses animal prints, body-conscious silhouettes and a smoldering gaze — and, of course, those thigh-high stockings — to seduce a young Dustin Hoffman. Here, a sampling of modern must-haves with roots in the ultimate May-December romance.

No screen siren leaves the house without a perfect


swipe of black eyeliner. Our new favorite: MAC’s Superslick liquid eyeliner, which features a sponge-tipped applicator and a quick-drying water- based formula. $17.50 at MAC stores and www. maccosmetics.com.

The Learning Curve sheath dress from Eva Franco is sweetly sophisticated in


yellow tweed. A contrasting belt and yoke with bow detailing contribute to the vintage vibe. $248 at Anthropologie stores and www.anthropologie.com.


At Prada, nipped-in waists and voluminous skirts set a prim, ultra-feminine tone. Glossy


bouffant updos and delicate heeled sandals complete the spot-on ’60s aesthetic.


This Joan & David Collection Alta pump tempers a sleek silhouette and exotic pattern


with a modest 2¾-inch heel and dainty tasseled bow, making it offi ce-appropriate but not boring. $200.95 at www.endless.com.

A surefi re way to make a dramatic entrance? A tailored coat that combines crisp


construction with a rich, warm hue — this belted overcoat from H&M fi ts the bill and the budget. $99 at H&M stores.
