Britain's always been great at sharing its It-girls with the world and the latest to turn heads around the globe is Aimee Lou Wood. The White Lotus actor has the attributes, distinguishable features and styling tricks to leave a mark that extends beyond her drop-dead fabulous body of work.

With The White Lotus finale now broadcast, the 31-year-old has pivoted far from the multicoloured, easy, breezy separates of her character Chelsea's wardrobe. What Wood has instead been wearing are pieces that feel altogether more polished and put together, and boasting fashion credits that any fashion editor would envy.

Beyond the labels that read Rabanne, 16Arlington, and Tory Burch, is an approach that's easily emulated. Like countless It-girls before her, Wood has established a formula that works for her and sends a strong message of a new found personal style that will no doubt spur countless imitations.

And rightly so. Wood's wardrobe, the brainchild of stylist Felicity Kay, centres around the idea that the best sort of capsule wardrobe is one that relies on a streamlined colour palette. For her, it's black and white with a splash of denim and sparkle for good measure. It sits so neatly in a carousel on Kay's Instagram that you can only imagine how harmonious it would have looked all hung neatly together, ready to be packed for Wood's travels across the US.
This approach works for two primary reasons. Praise for the capsule wardrobe always starts and ends with the way it removes a level of stress when thinking of what to wear as pieces all match with each other. You can put together countless combinations in the knowledge that polish is guaranteed. But here, when worn by a rising Brit It-girl, the capsule wardrobe also cuts through the noise to establish a clear and concise aesthetic that is easily recognisable and therefore ripe for imitation.
Those wishing to follow suit needn't have to follow along piece-by-piece. Her approach is and inclusive one that can be applied to all sorts of palette pairings, thought things don't come much chicer than black and white.
