Every week this month I’m looking at one of the ladies from NBC’s Hannibal and analyzing their style. For this final post I’m looking at Hannibal’s psychiatrist Dr. Bedelia du Maurier. Bedelia was one of the most interesting characters in season one because she was one of very few people whose loyalties remained ambiguous throughout. While it was strongly hinted at that she knew more about Hannibal’s real identity than she let on, the extent of that knowledge was never revealed. Bedelia’s style is, fittingly, very different from most of the other female cast members as she almost completely eschews intense patterns and sticks with solid, bold colors. Her style is put-together, almost unnervingly so, presenting a professional and distant facade to everyone who approaches her.
Bedelia owns one of the most iconic pieces of fashion seen on Hannibal, a red wrap-around shirt that hangs off her figure perfectly. If you’re looking to channel her style then this is a must buy.
Although consistently professional, Bedelia’s wardrobe is also subtly sexy. She wears a lot of figure hugging mini and pencil skirts that show off her legs as she sits and listens to her patient.
To help her legs really make an impact Bedelia lengths them with killer heels. She tends to keep the style and colour simple to let the heels do the talking.
Bedelia often uses belts to maximise the impact of her waistline. This is a cheap and effective way to alter your wardrobe and give yourself a great figure.
We have seen Bedelia in a few dresses when she wants to change from her usual suit style. These too keep to her simple, form fitting style and avoid strong patterns. The cut of the dress is often the most design it needs.
To finish off her outfits Bedelia often wears classic suit jackets. This is the one place we have seen subtle patterns creep in to break up her outfits. Here’s some items we picked for her:
Wallis Red Plain Wrap Blouse: (£33)
Paule Ka Stretch Cotton High-Waisted Pencil Skirt: (£135)
Saint Laurent Classic Janis 105 Platform Pump: (£516)
Dorothy Perkins Black Basic Waist Belt: (£7)
Issa Short Sleeve Viscose Jersey Wrap Dress: (£385)
Next Black and White Jacket: (£45)

She is a die-hard X-Phile who loves cross stitching and baking cupcakes whilst marathoning sci-fi shows on Netflix. She is also an occasional cosplayer, spends far too many hours reading and writing X-Files fanfiction, and is attempting to learn Latin this year.
