What made this outfit so fab on Julie Walters were her long elegant legs and fabulous figure overall -

And can we talk about her hair? – It’s the hair I have been trying to get for the past 5 years! – I even got a perm 2 years ago trying to get this retro look – but it must be a lost art because no one could figure it out - particularly the cut – anyway -  I adore every single hairstyle Rita dons in this movie – and I love the way they use her hairstyles to mark the inner transformations on her journey to self betterment-
