Guy Ritchie has done it again: he created a Masterpiece.

And at the heart of it, there she is:

Susie Glass.

Gangster boss, ruling the underworld. Owning the underworld.

This Series and Kaya Scodelario’s amazing portrayal of it’s crime queen Susie Glass is one of the best things I have seen in a long time.

If not ever.

Backstory

While Susie's father Bobby Glass is incarcerated, she runs his underground empire below the estates of an aristocratic heir.

Let's look Into Her Wardrobe

A Dolce & Gabbana Pinstripe Blazer, a grey and black checked overcoat by Ralph Lauren and, voilá: THE Stella McCartney red velvet 3-piece suit.

We also find gorgeously studded CARVELA Pumps, an emerald green MARCHESA gown and countless breathtaking vintage pieces.

The Details

Whether it's a red beret hat, big Gucci Sunglasses or heavy gold jewelry:

Susie's accessories are her weapons.

They’re just like her: sharp as steel & dangerously chic.

Casual Villainess Style

Even her more effortless outfits convey:

"Don't mess with me. I know exactly, what I'm doing."

Colors & Patterns

There’s an elegance and femininity to Susie's use of color and patterns.

She does not need to copy masculine styles.

She’s 100% woman - and in her line of work, that makes her even more dangerous.

Looking Gorgeous, no Matter the Circumstances

Even when Susie’s world is shaking, she doesn’t lose her cool. 

Yes, she might go out on a mission to kill everyone involved.

She’s a villain, after all.

But she does it with an eyeliner wing as sharp as a knife.

Consistency of Style

Susie’s style isn’t evolving throughout the series. It’s just as chic, sharp and stylish in the first episode as in the last.

As Kaya Scodelario herself said in a YouTube interview with GQ Portugal:

“ I love that she’s a woman when we meet her. She isn’t struggling, she isn’t finding her way, she’s already there.”

Fabulously Dangerous

In essence, Susie is what all of us wish we could be a little more of.

She's assertive, knows what she’s doing and is always three steps ahead of everyone.

And her style reflects exactly that.

Let’s end things with this brilliant quote by Kaya Scodelario:

“She’s perfectly manicured at all times. And she’s dealing with all these men around her, with death and drugs and destruction and she still has time to go get her nails done. I think that’s the most Boss move ever.”
