get the look The iconic opera star Maria Callas returns to the spotlight in Maria, the new buzzed-about biopic starring Angelina Jolie. The star's longtime stylist, Jen Rade, shares how to get that classic Callas look. BY INGRID SCHMIDT diva of divas So many of this season's elegant fashion signatures—drapey capes, dreamy gowns, dramatic hats—strike a note in sync with the midcentury style of late Greek-American opera star Maria Callas. Portrayed by Angelina Jolie in Pablo Larraín's highly anticipated biopic Maria, (out December 11 on Netflix,) Callas was hailed as "La Divina" or "the divine" for her bel canto soprano star power. Yet the phrase could just as easily refer to her glamorous style: It is said that Yves Saint Laurent, a friend and frequent fashion collaborator, dubbed Callas the "diva of divas." Here, Hollywood stylist and costume designer Jen Rade, who has worked with Jolie for more than 20 years, weighs in on how some of the film's looks, created by costume designer Massimo Cantini Parrini, translate from the silver screen. friend costume worked from A cape-like look at Akris Fall/Winter 24 A caped look from Alessandro Michele's debut Resort 25 collection for Valentino.

C O U R T E S Y O F A K R I S , VA L E N T I N O FOREVER AN ICON "Obviously, Maria Callas is a fashion icon," says Jen Rade. "From the late 1940s to the '70s, she epitomized Old Hollywood glamour with her jewelry, hats, gloves, and the way she put things together. Everything she wore was a look. Maria made statements that were also timeless, because the pieces were very classic. Something about her persona was larger than life. She died young, which always makes a person more iconic, as it leaves more to our imagination. Every place was a stage to her. Life was part of the performance, and that translated into her clothes."
