FILM AND PINK IN TV

When you think of harry potter and pink you will instantly think of Dolores Umbridge, one of the most hated characters in the harry potter fandom. Umbridge was said to have almost pink everything from clothes to her office. She was a very feminine character and dressed as such. This is a very big contrast to her personality, she’s a cruel woman, yet she tries to portray herself as sweet and unthreatening. She uses this colour to disguise herself.

In mean girls it’s very known that on Wednesdays

‘The Plastics’ wear pink. Pink is traditionally used to symbolise sweetness and innocence a complete contradiction to the plastics. Making sure they always look perfect in the eyes of their peers, the pink costumes could also be a nod to them being like barbie dolls,something that is already implied with the group’s name.

Pink is now one of Cassie’s identifying colours in Euphoria. Cassie wears light pink a lot to signify innocence and femineity, yet whilst wearing such colours she wears form fitting/tight clothing that highlights her body in an almost revealing way – Cassie is sweet and innocent almost naive at times yet she is almost always sexualized and used by the men in her life.

Lolita. A controversial book and movie, following a young girl and her predatory lover, the story is told from the predator’s point of view. In the movie Lolita the colour pink is quite subtle, from the ribbons in her hair to the bubble-gum she chews. In this film it’s to show that she is a child/ childish and many of her costumes silhouettes aim to show that at times with frills and puff shoulders.
