  • Speaking of dresses, this ebony number was the highlight of Marianne and Connell's scenic bike ride. Plus, the delicate spaghetti straps are casually offset with a pair of white trainers.

  • Dungarees are a fail-safe off-duty staple, made memorable when layered over a netted top with a coloured bra peeking through and a messy bun.

  • I can't even deal with this whole situation. The sapphire blue velvet, the muted burgundy blazer. The necklace? 100% yes.

  • Boom! Off to a solid start with this '60s-inspired floral mini dress and half-up-half-down 'do that's practically made for relaxing around the pool in Italy.

  • The BBC adaptation of Sally Rooney's novel, Normal People, has been a welcomed distraction during lockdown. Not only has it introduced us to some new faces (hello, Paul Mescal!) and offered the perfect binge-watching opportunity, the show's characters are also one big fashion mood.

    Of course, no discussion of Normal People style can go by without first mentioning Connell's chain which has, rightfully, reached cult status - did you know its even got a dedicated Instagram fan account now? But it's the story's heroine, Marianne (played by Daisy Edgar-Jones), who has us wanting to overhaul our entire wardrobes.

    From endless summer dresses to that sapphire blue velvet evening number, Marianne continuously serves look after look, whatever the occasion.

    TV characters often inspire their own trends (think: Blair Waldorf's headbands in Gossip Girl or Rachel Green's mum jeans in Friends) but there's something less considered about Marianne's style - in a good way.

    Instead of buying into specific 'trends', she has a different attitude to fashion altogether. In fact, she seems almost ambivalent to what's 'in' which is quite refreshing. Instead, she just wears whatever she wants. Maybe it's her effortlessly cool shaggy fringe or the fact her outfits are notably fuss-free, but there's no denying Marianne is our new understated fashion muse.

    Here we round up the Irish icon's best style moments...
