Wardrobe Stylist Talks ‘Eclipse’ Fashion + Pre-Order Bella’s ‘Mountain Scene’ Jacket!
Self Magazine had the chance recently to speak with Tish Monaghan, wardrobe stylist for both The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse about the costumes and clothing used in Eclipse. She talks about things such as styling the boys, resident fashionista Ashley Greene/Alice, and tons more.
SELF: How is Bella’s look in Eclipse different from in New Moon?
Tish Monaghan: Well, it’s funny because the movies come out a year apart, but onscreen, only a week has passed. With Bella [Kristen Stewart], she’s a little more settled in public and in her relationship with Edward. And so, at the beginning, I wanted to show a little bit more of a relation to the Cullens’ colors, a cool palate, and steer away from the warm earth tones that were more evident in New Moon.There are quite a few romantic scenes, so I wanted to show a softer side of Bella without going too girly or feminine, because that’s just not at the heart of who she is. She’s a very practical person, so I tried to soften her up a bit with color. We open up with her wearing one of her signature plaid shirts, but it’s in a softer, lilac fabric and looks very pretty in a field of flowers. We tried to retain the integrity of her character, but just lighten her up a little.

AND on a cool sidenote, if you liked Bella’s jacket during the ‘mountain scenes’ in Eclipse, you can now pre-order it! The retailer has just made the jacket available in two colors (Black and Chai), but if you want the jacket in the exact color that Bella wore (redwood) then you can pre-order it and it will be available in September!
Purchase one of the colors above or pre-order the Redwood colored jacket that Bella wore in the movie here.
And last but not least, you can also purchase similar sunglasses that Bella wore in the Florida scenes in Eclipse here.
