College Drama: A Look Back At Felicity

Woody Allen Inspired

J.J. Abrams and the show’s style department were apparently inspired by Woody Allen and more specifically, Annie Hall. Felicity’s style was supposed to directly emulate Annie. In the film, actress Diane Keaton wore altered men’s clothing, and so did Keri Russell. Keri became so attached to the character Felicity that she even emulated the style in real life.

One of the main things was forgoing accessories including both hair accessories and jewelry. She also refused to wear nail polish. Felicity and Keri preferred to wear much more simple and classic items. While Keri hasn’t explicitly stated that she is a method actor this certainly sounds like something a method actor would do!
