One of the most iconic characters in American film, Dorothy Gale from the classic movie The Wizard of Oz has inspired and delighted audiences for decades. From her ruby red slippers to her adorable little dog Toto, Dorothy’s adventures on the Yellow Brick Road are adored by fans young and old. By the end of the movie, she has us all saying “There’s no place like home,” with a click of her magical – and stylish – shoes.
Even though the film was released in 1939, Judy Garland’s Dorothy remains a fabulous source of fashion inspiration! Her gingham print dress and girly aesthetic can be used to inspire your everyday looks. Below, I’ve created several outfits inspired by Dorothy Gale. Scroll down to view them all!
