You do know this unique and so versatile actress! Gabrielle Anwar is known for her roles as Margaret Tudor on The Tudors, for her role as Fiona Glenanne on Burn Notice, and for dancing the tango with Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman.
Gabrielle Anwar’s unique, hot-weather style works in both her major roles – as ammo-loving Fiona Glenanne on the Miami set of the USA hit “Burn Notice” and as mom to her three kids (Willow, 16; Paisley, 8; and Hugo, 6) in real life. “Fiona has a very utilitarian approach to style,” says Anwar. “If you can conceal a weapon in it and it would function well under fire, then it’s going to work for her. She enjoys exposing the flesh: It makes her seemingly vulnerable, but there’s a lot more to it than meets the eye.”
Between scenes, the 40-year-old actress is often found riding around the set on a cruiser bike in formless dresses and flip-flops. “I think my style may be ‘Bohemian Without a Cause,’” she says of her preferred look. “I like to feel that I can actually parent in the clothes I’m wearing. I’ve collected a bunch of fabrics and colors and textures that I feel are beautiful, and it doesn’t matter what anybody else thinks.”

Summer Night out In Unique Outfit for You
I would combine a Rozea Nichols frock, which is very diaphanous and almost ethereal and otherworldly, with flip-flops just so I could stay grounded, although I might have to wear wedges just so I could see what was going on.
Bathing Suits that Flatter Your Body
Brazilian bottoms are perfect for every body type. I have sat on the beaches of Brazil, and I have seen every possible imaginable female form in the Brazilian-cut bikini and it works. It gracefully glides the behind in the most flattering position.

Classic Look with Wrist Jewelry
I mostly wear bracelets and bangles. I’m experimenting with earrings, but I tend to feel like a Christmas tree with a lot of jewelry. I usually go for minimal wrist jewelry.

I love frocks and I also love slides. I’m not a flip flop girl but I’m into sildes.
easy styling, simple and so good that it comes out fine. now that i call simple and chic.
I like how she keeps her style kind of simple and classic. It seems she dresses more for comfort than anything else.
Her style is so simple and effortless, she always seems to get it right, Loved her in Scent of a Woman.
I love her style.Her dress choices are really simple yet elegant.I like such comfortable and simple styles!
OMG I love her style! She is the reason why am obsessing with Burn Notice 🙂
I wish she have more tv shows and movies.
Love everything you wrote and mentioned. Especially the jewelry part! PROPS!
I’ll always remember her best from “Wild Hearts Can’t be Broken.” That’s still one of my favorite movies. She is a beautiful woman.
It was fun to read more about Gabrielle Anwar! I also love flip-flops,and I agree that comfort is a must! You’ll never catch me wearing something uncomfortable!
I feel you when it comes to recycling clothes. I love vintage shops, and you can find amazing things in them. Wish I could give you a couple of inches of my height because I have the opposite issue. I am tall for the average woman so when I wear my favourite heels then I am taller than the average guy. It’s annoying. =(
She is very beautiful and it is great that she has a relaxed approach to fashion. I did enjoy the Tudors but did not peg that it was her who played Margaret Tudor!
I don’t know her, never having watched The Tudors. Her style is certainly her own. Not a huge fan of the dress but the most important is that you feel comfy wearing your style. xx corinne
Love her dresses. She looks gorgeous! Her flip flops looks very cute and comfy. I have seen her movies many times. Her acting is really good.
I have to admit that I had no idea who Gabrielle Anwar was before reading your post. I really like those flip flops though!
She is such a beautiful woman! I am short too but I personally love Flip Flops! I guess its just the Florida girl in me!
She does have an amazing style! I really love that flips flops. I must get a pair!
Gabrielle Anwar seems to have a refreshing style! I like her and I will watch out for her in series and movies.
We’ve got the same name, but I’m pretty sure I couldn’t pull those outfits off.
I love flip flops. They are a staple living in Los Angeles. I like the ones mentioned. They are unique.
She is always on my best-dressed list. I always love her looks – they’re always chic and classy. I picked up something new from her Brazilian bathing suits. I’ll keep that in mind.
I love her style and that she likes wearing flip flops. I love the idea of recycling vintage clothes.
What a great article. Anything that says I can wear flip flops makes me happy!
I am getting more and more into bohemian style and I have to agree with her that you really don’t have to be dressed up to look beautiful. I think her style fits her personality and interests.
I already loved her, but now I love her even more knowing she is a flip flop girl! That’s a girl after my own heart right there, lol.
I really like that she has a fiery personality on the show Burn Notice. This is a cool style and I can see how it works well with the South Florida style. Love it!
I don’t watch Burn Notice or Tudors so I wasn’t familiar with her, but it’s great she marches to the beat of her own Fashion drummer! 🙂
Hehehe I’m tall and when I wear heels I’m taller than my hubby so I’m all about flip flops lol
I love her! She always looks so good in Burn Notice!
I’m about the same height as her. oh who am I kidding I’m two inches shorter. I love me some wedges on dress up nights.
That last dress feels Greek. I like it, it looks loose and comfortable.
I’m big on flip flops and I just love the ones you shared. They are perfect for jeans and a tee or a summer dress.
She is such a natural beauty, anything would look great on her.
Dresses and flip-flops… super down to earth and awesome. I think it’s great that she prefers to shop for vintage before buying something new.
I just love these beautiful styles! Thank you so much for sharing 🙂
Dresses are best for me because I can just toss one on and go. Flip flops, I adore, but with my back and hip problems they are not ideal. I dont wear them for long events.
Love those flip-flops. I have never seen the ones with a strap in the back. On the look-out for them now. It would take the flop out of the flip-flop.
I love her fashion sense! She is so naturally gorgeous too!
I love her style. She’s spot on for me with flip flops. I live in them during summer, spring, and fall!
She is so gorgeous. I love to wear flipflops, too. I am not tall and I seldom wear heels. Flipflops are very comfortable.
I don’t have hardly any sense of fashion. It’s just one thing that I’m not good at. Guess it’s the tomboy hiding in me. 🙂
I love her honest answers to your questions. How she can hear her mom. It shows how much she appreciates and respects her. (I am all about the flip flops!!)
I love jewelry too. I don’t leave the house without my accessories, but I am not into chunky ones. Good to see Gabrielle Anwar again. Haven’t seen her in a movie lately.
I like her as an actress, she’s really good. I kinda like her style, it is very unique and fashionable.
I’m all about bracelets, too – and think hers are gorgeous. Then again, what wouldn’t look good on her? She has her own great style.
I practically live in flip flops during summer. They so comfortable especially when you have a toddler to run after.
Neither my husband or I have any fashion sense at all. I just pick comfortable clothes. I think it’s neat that her husband is t twiddling his thumbs asking when she’s done while shopping, that’s so rare.
I love those flip flops!! So cute and I bet they are comfy too!! Great post!!
Cool article! Looks like she would make a great fashion icon for the summer.
I absolutely adore her, she is so gorgeous. She is a perfect fashion role model.
She has a very cute style! I love that she shops at stores where the clothes are not new and wears flip flops.
I am short, too, but love my flip flops. I hate being so short sometimes, but I like my tootsies to be comfy!
I LOVE Gabrielle Anwar. She’s been in several of my favorite made for TV movies.
