Growing Up Fast

What Suzanne wore while out with her friends and with boys sure was opposite of what she showed her family while hanging out at home. Suzanne's style evokes the sexy insouciance of youth in revolt, and the stripes, knits, bright colors, and metallics (which were also a big part of her younger sense of style) were worn often, in body conscious shapes accentuating her womanly form she was so proud to bear.

The movie opened up with his shot of Suzanne. Though you can't see much of her clothing, she's giving off a rebel-without-a-cause vibe and it's already known by the audience that trouble is brewing.

On her first tryst with her first boyfriend during summer camp, she's wearing an '80s mini skirt and striped, wide-cut ringer-tee top. The shapes of both pieces evoke a youthful yet confident mood- exactly where Suzanne was mentally sitting.

At the party where she meets the American that leads to her fate, she's dressed very sexy for a 15 year old girl. Her slinky one-shouldered dress- with striped accents!- gives off a sultry vibe the '80s is known for.

Note: These screenshots show an error in the movie! In one part of the scene, her dress is black and white striped along the one-shouldered neckline, while in the other part she is wearing a black skirt with a black and white striped one-shouldered top. Whoops!

Her other party outfits- one from the beginning of her bad-behavior spiral and one when she's finally matured- are the perfect outfits to identify the decade she's grown up in. The stripes (again!), leather, metallics, bright colors, and womanly silhouettes are so very '80's, just like Suzanne's screw-all attitude.
