Lin-Manuel Miranda has blessed us with Hamilton, Broadway musical and hip-hop sensation that has swept not only through America but through the rest of the world. I personally have been a fan for about a year now, and I love to introduce more people to my fandom.
This week I had a thought: "How can I subtly introduce some Hamilton fashion into my wardrobe?" So I jumped onto my Polyvore account and went crazy, and then I thought wouldn't my fellow HamFam want to know to?
So here you go:
Five Looks Inspired By Hamilton
And suddenly I'm Helpless...
This look is inspired by Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton's song "Helpless" in the first Act. It is about how Eliza falls in love with Alexander. This look is very flirty and girly. The hairstyle is a lace braid that goes into a side braid.
And PEGGY!
This look is based on Peggy Schuyler, the youngest of the Schuyler sisters. (FUN FACT: Peggy's name wasn't actually Peggy, it was actually Margaret, or Margarita)
She is witty and fun, so I tried to translate it into her style. A yellow dress in honor of her costume in the show, paired with pretty turquoise accessories. The hairstyle is lovely curls with the top sectioned off and put into a bun.
Don't change the subject, 'cause you're my favorite subject...
The next look is based on the real star of the show, King George III. He is sassy and very glamorous, so therefore this look is super fancy. A fur coat in honor of his royal robe, red pants, and LOTS of glitter. The hairstyle is quite easy to do, just curl your hair, bundle it up with pins, and add a fancy hairpiece.
America's Favorite Fighting Frenchman!
LAFAYETTE!! This stylish Frenchman loves revolution and when France didn't want to jump into a war he went over to America to see if he could pick some fights. He quickly became friends with Hamilton and later fought with them in the Revolution.
The hairstyle is greatly influenced by actor Daveed Diggs. Most of us don't have hair quite as magnificent as his, so we have to make do with a bun, and I just added a gold chain.
oh yes, "One more thing!"
Young, Scrappy, and Hungry
It would be a crime if I didn't include A.Ham in this list, and he would come back from the grave to challenge me to a duel if he saw King George III is here and not him, so here we go.
Alexander Hamilton was very ambitious during his life so I thought to go with business attire. The hairstyle is actually very simple and easy to do. Just tease the top and smooth the sides anchoring it with a bobby pin.
Will you be trying these styles? Do you have other requests for me to do? Let me know in the comments.
