If you’re like us you’ve already watched Love Actually at least once, so you’re probably taking style notes from some of the characters– and this red bardot knit will give you the Martine McCutcheon festive look
With Christmas just a few days away and work winding down, it’s the perfect time to binge on festive films. If you’re anything like us, you’ve probably already watched Love Actually at least once and have been taking style inspiration from its characters.
This month, we’re fully embracing our inner Martine McCutcheon by adding some vibrant red pieces to our wardrobes. Remember the scene where she ends up on stage at a school nativity play? That’s the look we’re going for.
The actress, who plays the initially unlucky but ultimately fortunate Natalie, is decked out in red for that scene, and we’ve been itching to recreate her outfit. Luckily, shops are brimming with red items this season, especially after Kate Middleton declared cherry red a fashion essential.
If you’re seeking a Martine-inspired off-the-shoulder style, we’ve found the perfect alternative: Bershka’s Bardot Sweater in Red, priced at £25.95. With its off-the-shoulder cut, soft knit fabric and body-flattering shape, it pairs perfectly with jeans or a midi skirt.

To fully channel Martine’s Love Actually look, finish off the outfit with a matching red coat – we recommend Nobody’s Child’s Oversized Red Double Breasted Wool Blend Coat, currently on sale for £130.
Kate Middleton has declared berry and cherry hues as the must-have wardrobe colours of the season. Recently, the Princess of Wales was spotted arriving at Westminster Abbey for her annual Christmas carol service, where she met with celebrities and performers.
The mother-of-three donned a festive red coat adorned with a large black bow on the collar and black buttons, designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. While the red coat might be a bit pricey for some, Karen Millen offers a similar design available for £279. It’s a staple piece that will last you through many seasons.
