I recently saw Woody Allen’s ‘Manhattan’ on a screen laid out on the roof-top of a bar in Shoreditch. The movie as well as the setting was a great experience and I enjoyed myself thoroughly.
Expectedly the movie stars Diane Keaton and this post is about the fashion that is inspired by her looks and outfits from the movie. I cannot pull off the shirt and tie looks from her later Woody Allen movies but there are two particular looks from this movie that I loved. One was the buttoned up shirt and long coat and the other is the turtle-neck with the button down cardigan.
Black turtleneck and button down cardigan
Buttoned up shirt and jacket
I loved the outfits. And the great thing about a look like this is that forty years on, it still looks like it could be worn by fashion bloggers everywhere. And it has definitely been worn by this fashion blogger!
I tried out the first look for myself but had to add my own two-bit – hope you don’t think I have ruined the Diana Keaton look! I thought her look was too plain for my day out and had to add a bib necklace.
Tailored black duster coat, Gap denim shirt and bib necklace from e-bay
Boots no. 7 lipstick in Sienna
Black Chemistry leggings and black lace satchel bag from Bandra (and an intensely suspicious expression for no reason)
Rust shoes from Carlton
The first look with the turtleneck and cardigan is a little too winter friendly to resort to right now so I will keep that for the later cold days. I will be sure to keep you updated.
I also wanted to end this post with this great picture from that night at the movies – on the left are the steel and glass office buildings of London and on the right, Woody Allen from Manhattan. Lovely.

Yet to watch this film, but overall love Diane Keaton’s style because it seemed effortless cool, and casual.
which rooftop bar was it?
Absolutely! She has such a perfect signature look. This was the Queen of Hoxton – but they had the movies organised in many other places as well.
Wow I really love how you recreated the outfit!! You look amazing! 🙂
Thanks so much Nicole! Its a fun, easy outfit to wear – I think I will be trying some movie looks more!
