Loving Luna Lovegood

Still from Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince (c) Warner Bros 2009

Luna Lovegood was already my favorite Hogwarts student, but since I saw Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince my affection for her has blossomed into a full-blown style crush. She wears the best stuff!

Some of it is really stylish, like the pink linen coat above which she's wearing on the Hogwarts Express when she rescues Harry after his beating from Draco. It has gorgeous puffed shoulders, a big wide collar and cute buckled straps at the wrists. Luna accessorises with functional yet still stylish SpectreSpecs (buy yours here) and her favourite Dirigble Plum earrings (tutorial here).

Then there's the sweet short-sleeved lilac cardigan worn over a loose cotton smock with a Peter Pan collar, worn in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Crochet your own using this pattern.

Luna's taste in jewellery is a little leftfield - her Butterbeer cork necklace, Dirigible Plum earrings and beetle ring - probably homemade as she's a resourceful gal. You can buy yourself a set of Luna Lovegood jewellery but it's much more in keeping with her spirit to try making your own!

Even when her wardrobe choices raise a few eyebrows (her Lion Head hat, the silver dress she wears to go to Slughorn's party) you have to applaud the girl for her individuality. She wears even the most outlandish outfit with quiet confidence, and best of all she's never boring. Tell Luna I love her!

If you didn't know it, Evanna Lynch has made the radish earrings that she wears in the movie, and she designed the lion hat that she uses on Half Blood Prince.
