The Not so Subtle Character in Four Weddings and a Funeral

Words by Mckenziee Belton

If you are like me and have had some extra time on your hands, you’ve probably been binge rewatching your favorite television shows. Recently, I rewatched the classic reimagining of Four Weddings and a Funeral by the incredible Mindy Kaling and Matt Warburton. If you love romantic comedies, drama, and impeccable fashion, then this show is for you!

This ten part series will make you laugh, cry, and rejoice as you watch a friend group navigate love, loss, and betrayal. Just like Kaling’s The Mindy Project, Four Weddings and a Funeral is a love letter to the romantic comedy genre. Please don’t go into the series hoping for a remake of the original movie because it is not. Instead, the series shows just how far the romantic comedy genre has evolved to be more inclusive and visually stunning. Romantic comedy buffs will love its tributes to films that have come before it, while also falling in love with these complex, multifaceted characters. And after you watch this classic, check out Kaling’s latest series Never Have I Ever. You will not regret it!

While I could go on and on about how fantastic and culturally relevant this show is, I want to focus on the fashion. Salvador Perez is a fashion genius whose most notable work is on my favorite comedy The Mindy Project, the Pitch Perfect movies, and of course, Four Weddings and a Funeral. He has worked with Kaling for years, styling the Dr. Mindy Lahiri character, and now he’s working with Kaling again on her latest series, Never Have I Ever. I love the fashion moments they create together and I look forward to their future collaborations.

Here’s to hoping Perez works on Legally Blonde 3, or the Indian wedding film Kaling has been working on with Dan Goor. Before I get too off track, I wanted to highlight some of my favorite looks from Four Weddings and a Funeral. Please keep in mind that I’m only scratching the surface – the entire series is filled with outfits that will make you want to rewatch the show over and over again, while springing into an online shopping spree.

Honestly, everything about this photo is fabulous, but Ainsley’s outfit is top notch. The jumpsuit is also still available at Staud and the turtleneck at Les Reveries – you’re welcome!

Maya stole the show when she wore this sleek leather jacket. We got to see another side of her character when she swapped her power suit for her leather jacket. I loved this Studded Balfern by All Saints and would like one for myself please.
