When it comes to Christmas movies that inspire holiday style, I can’t help but think of Nancy Meyers‘ classic, The Holiday. More specifically, Cameron Diaz’s effortless elegance as Amanda Woods. After two unlucky-in-love women decide to swap lives for the holiday season, Amanda brings her Hollywood glam to Surrey, England.
Needless to say, Amanda is constantly decked out in cozy-chic designer pieces that have me continually pausing to Google similar options. I also can’t help but notice the presence of luxurious textures and neutral colors that scream versatility—even the loungewear and pajamas felt elevated.
I put my professional shopping skills to the test and uncovered 13 pieces that are sure to unleash your inner Amanda Woods. Check them out below.
The Holiday-Inspired Winter Styles
Banana Republic Rayon-Silk Blouse

Amanda is wearing a sweet and billowy blouse during a lunch out and about in the English town. The balloon sleeves on this top add volume without feeling overwhelming. It’s a look I wouldn’t mind pairing with wide-led denim and black leather booties or a sleek trouser pant and comfy loafers.
Tasha Cuddle Beanie

At one point, Amanda is freezing in her Surrey cottage and uses the moment to layer up some of her most fabulous and plush loungewear, including a soft lilac beanie. The brushed, ribbed finish gives this headpiece a refined feel that will have you looking for excuses to throw it on. It will also be a nice pop against a neutral or all-black palette.
BP. Oversize Cozy Mock Neck Sweater
Nordstrom
The ultra-cozy knits in this movie shouldn’t be ignored. Amanda dons some seriously luxurious sweaters, like rolled turtlenecks and cable-knit styles, that had me envious of her seamless combo of warmth and sophistication. A slightly oversized mock turtle neck sweater can look instantly chic with the right skirt or fitted pants.
Steve Madden Kari Kitten Heels

During a small Christmas party, Amanda whips out a formal black short-sleeve blouse and a white pencil midi-skirt, complete with the proper footwear. If you tend to feel intimidated by heels, this low option is for you. These slingback kitten heels come in a variety of finishes, including floral prints and encrusted in gleaming stones, that will kick any look up a notch.
