Chloe Moretz’s ’70s-inspired goth style in Dark Shadows

Matriarch Elizabeth (Michelle Pfeiffer) is the driving force of the family, and not even her evil rival Angelique can stand in her way. Feminine silhouettes and gothic tones come together in Elizabeth’s style, and it isn’t too hard to copy either.

Don’t be spooked by dark, old-fashioned fabrics. Take velvet out of the Dark Ages by wearing it in a modern manner. This American Apparel velvet dress ($44) does the trick.

Elizabeth is always striking but modest with pieces that have sheer overlay in all the right places. Stick to darker hues and vintage-style dresses like this swing dress ($148) at Anthropologie. This mesh panel dress from Love Culture ($23) is a little sexier, but it has classically black lace — an Elizabeth must — and sheer mesh down the arms to tone it down a little.
