The top 10 outfits from “The Queen’s Gambit” series
You may not be a chess fan but if you are a fashion addict this series is just for you! Have you seen The Queen’s Gambit yet? The series follows the story of Beth Harmon (stared by Anya Taylor-Joy), an American chess prodigy, in 50/60s, as she becomes a great champion chess Grandmaster, and all the dramas and injustices that she faces from a young age, and for being a woman in a man oriented world.
Our champ not only wins chess matches but checkmates everyone with her fashion too. She was bullied about her clothes at a young age, something that changed when she started to be financially stable from her chess victories and started blowing everyone out of the water with her clothes! She absolutely kills all her chess competition with her intelligence, style, and uniqueness. Beth is such a brilliant and captivating character, and her infallible sense of style evolves with her, side by side, right up to the final scene!
The costume designer Gabriele Binder was the main responsible for Beth’s amazing 60s wardrobe, where “80%” of the costumes were handmade by her and her team. Most important for them, was to give Beth a voice that matches her identity and self-confidence, through her style.

1. Red & Navy
This cool striped V neck top suits Beth perfectly and the navy side-buttoned miniskirt is something to die for! Plus, the cat-eye sunglasses topped off with her headband are, for sure the cherry on top of the cake. This look shows us how empowered and full of confidence she becomes.
2. Tartan Dress
This low-cut tartan dress is absolutely gorgeous. You can style it with a shirt underneath, like Beth, or a turtleneck for colder days. This dress appears twice, styled in two different ways, one with the white shirt and the other with a black bow tie short sleeve blouse. Both are super chic.
3. Mint Bow Dress
This fashionable mint bow dress shows just how impeccable Beth’s taste for fashion is and we must say that we need it in our wardrobe! This is for sure a comfy dress to wear for a lot of different occasions.
4. Square Printed Shirt
Who doesn’t need a cool printed shirt? You can make it look cool in a playful look or acessorise it for a more smart look. Also, we need to say that we just love the headscarf!
5. Straight Shift Dress
Serious vintage vibes with this one! This dress is all but classic and sophisticated, with a low waist, it shows little curves and made the competition focus on her mind rather than on her body.
6. Gingham Cut-Out Swimsuit
We are so obsessed with this fashionable swimsuit and the swimming cap is so cute! Absolutely perfect for showing some skin and doing some diving in the summer.
7. Gingham Dress
Beth’s love for squares is real…reminds us of a chess board! This beautiful and elegant V neck dress is really the best choice to accentuate the waistline and elongate the silhouette!
8. Black & Silk Dress
This amazing dress conquered our hearts with its cream embroidered collar and creamy silk skirt! Fancy feelings with this one…it’s so elegant and can you imagine being twirled around in it?!
9. Checked Wool Coat
This coat is just a dream, the finishes, the colours, the pockets…everything looks amazingly well thought through and made! This unique coat paired with leather gloves shows Beth’s style evolution. It really is the best choice to catch all the attention on a cold day!
10. Total White Look
This is one of the most iconic looks in the series, in our opinion, as it represents the royalty status of Beth at the end. It is said to be designed to resemble the white Queen’s chess piece, for a strong and powerful statement in the final act. A total white look is always chic and stunning!
