One fine day meets a timeless outfit meets one fine life. A day that feels like a lifetime. A lifetime that feels like a day. Can you hear the drums of the movie intro, see the curtains opening? Ladies and gentlemen, the outfit of the film One Fine Day.

Michelle Pfeiffer is a single mom of a boy. George Clooney is a single dad of a girl. They meet in the morning and figure out a lot of stuff until the evening. We figure out a lot of stuff, too, by paying attention to Michelle’s outfit from the beginning until the end of the movie. All of the characters are just as fun, they’re all part of the style that completes the story.

It’s the synergy we all, subconsciously, crave in movies, in art.

So, we see Michelle Pfeiffer, an architect, in the morning, in clothes that feel like shining armour. A beautifully tailored brown suit, an elegantly buttoned-up white shirt, sheer black tights, a perfectly hued beige oversized trench coat, shoes that could very easily pass for Céline, a smooth, paisley-printed, sweet vest and hair that would make French women cut and dye blonde their hair in a flash.

The way she looks, smiles, talks, walks creates the character that style would not even be worth mentioning without. It’s Michelle Pfeiffer after all, bonjour!

It’s just right and when something is right, something feels right, but when something feelsva-va-voom… Something is va-va-voom and isn’t va-va-voom what we all, secretly, crave in life? It’s the cherry on top of the synergy. It’s the salted caramel we’re surprised to find in the middle of an already delicious ice-cream. It’s the beautiful lining we discover in an already special jacket. It’s the secret smile we discover in a person we’d already liked a lot. It’s the perfect twist we hear, all of a sudden, in a song we’d already been dancing to like there’s no tomorrow.

It’s the surprise element life has us popping up champagne for.

The dinosaur t-shirt Michelle Pfeiffer – for some reason, saying Michelle solely instead of Michelle Pfeiffer doesn’t seem to have the same effect, no? – swaps for the aforementioned shirt is the va-va-voom in the outfit from One Fine Day. One might say it’s just a t-shirt, but one might swap one’s belief once one pays attention to details, moments, synchronicities. Her son doesn’t spill his juice on the elegantly buttoned-up white shirt for no reason, essentially. 

The dinosaur underneath the smooth, dots-printed, sweet vest and that beautifully tailored brown suit to grab a coffee in goes for one fine day, but the dinosaur to lead a business meeting – after a va-va-voom run through the city – goes for one fine life. When the shining armour turns into a spark, you know the whole world is about to light up from inside out.

It all becomes a walking party the moment she puts on the red, oversized coat that looks like future legacy.

All this craving, eventually, guided us toward the timeless va-va-voom. Not bad. When stylish equals unique, you never know when one fine day starts the one fine life. Wait. You do. Every day. Every day, one fine day starts the one fine life. Not bad. Now, all we have to do is figure out the stylish and the unique. A dinosaur is never just a dinosaur and a t-shirt is never just a t-shirt.
