Frida is a 2002 biographical film which depicts the professional and private life of the surrealist Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. It stars Salma Hayek in her Academy Award nominated portrayal as Kahlo and Alfred Molina as her husband, Diego Rivera.
Since Frida is one of the most popular and beloved artists in the world, creating a movie about her life was no easy task. However, everything about this film seemed to be extremely accurate and truly paid the right amount of respect to Kahlo and contributes to her legacy. Kahlo's style is very well known and not exactly easy to duplicate. Salma Hayek does a marvelous job recreating Frida's signature look. Kahlo seemed to be a walking work of art. Never dull on the eyes, an extremely colorful creature.
Frida's fashion sense in the film (and in real life) was representative of her outstanding and creative brain. An artist's brain never stops and Frida dressed herself like she was dressing a painting. Whether it was a bunch of flowers in her hair, piled on bright beaded jewelry, a big shawl or long black dress, Frida remained true to her vision in every way possible. Vibrant, feminine, strong, colorful, eye-catching and memorable are words that symbolize Frida Kahlo's appearance.
Here are examples of Frida's look in fashion:
