Twilightbellamittens_l There's no expensive D&G, no blinged Juicy Couture, no double-C Chanel or slinky Versace in the seductively subdued world of "Twilight."

"Twilight" costume designer Wendy Chuck explains to EW why she didn't put Bella (Kristen Stewart) in a single big designer creation in "Twilight."

And she probably won't do any recognizable designer duds in "New Moon" either.

Seems she made a conscious choice to shun A-list designers and stick to real-life affordable separates.

''My look is always character-based and not fashion-based," she tells EW. It's really easy to get over-stylish, and I felt that Bella in particular had to be anchored in the real world.''

That's why you see Bella in the parking scene car wreck scene in a brown Rubbish hoodie from Nordstrom and woolen mittens from Ruth Cross. And why Bella looks sweet in a cream thermal by Curious Gypsy with thumb holes in the sleeves in the hospital scene.

And why she sports a faded blue cargo jacket from Jack BB Dakota (purchased at the last minute from a Nordstrom Rack store) when she and Edward do tree climbing. And why she dons a $20 Max and Cleo silk frock from the discount shop Ross to briefly hit the high school prom.

According to EW, that newly dubbed "Twilight" cargo jacket will be reissued in July for $84. We want one now!

What's your favorite Bella outfit in "Twilight"? Edward (Rob Pattinson) sure seems to like all her clothes.

Name drop! I rushed over from google alert and of course nothing on Rob! Not cool...


Whatever she wears, she's stunningly amazing! I can't wait to see her again on New Moon. :)


I love Twilight and I like the idea of using clothes u actually can afford, what I dont like is how the Cullens repeat a lot of jackets and stuff, the book clearly says that the never wear the same thing twice because of Alice's fashion love. They should've tried different classis but edgy things. That my only complain


I am sorry, but d'uh.

Seriously, how many High Schoolers (apart from the characters on Gossip Girl) wear Chanel to school? Have the books ever mentioned Bella wearing (or even being able to afford) anything designer? Seriously. This "making a conscious decision about it" is really ridiculous.

The only people from Twilight who actually would wear any high class designer stuff would be... the Cullens. In a classical understated way.


I to rushed over from Google alert only to be siked out!!

It doesn't matter what she wears her acting still sucks! I. Just. can't. seem. to remember. my. lines....


I love Bella's wardrobe in Twilight. I actually have the brown and grey striped henley she wore in the movie. The designer is called Splendid, I think. I bought the thing 3 years ago at Nordstrom. Cute clothes never go out of style :)
