Forget the Songs—'Mamma Mia!' Is My Ultimate Summer Style Moodboard

One of the most memorable looks from the first film is Sophie’s flowy embroidered blouse in an Aegean-inspired palette of blue and white. I’ve seen similar designs popping up across retailers this season, from Sézane’s tie-front top in organic cotton to American Eagle’s fabulous flutter-sleeve. And if you’re wishing it came in dress form, you’re in luck—Anthropologie stocks the dreamiest midi version with a smocked bust and gorgeous detailing. 

As much as we all adore her overalls, mamma Donna truly wowed in this deep ocean blue number that was practically made for gazing at the waves while wistfully recalling the romances of your past. For a similar embroidered style, Cupshe offers an option for just $32. If it’s the rich Mediterranean blue you’re after, Free People’s ruffled square-neck maxi and Quince’s organic cotton tiered dress deliver the same vibe.

Sophie’s vibrant, multicolored poncho in the second film (2018's Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again) immediately brings to mind Missoni, a true Euro summer staple. In fact, the label makes a remarkably similar piece—only it’s a cool $1,070. You can, however, get that funky striped look for less by way of this wavy knit from LSpace (which can be paired with matching shorts), or these crochet coverups from Cupshe and Amazon, both priced under $40.

Donna is a true ‘70s flower child at heart, and it’s clear in her choice of hippie-dippie peasant tops—my favorite of which boasts this pretty all-over floral print. It’s the first thing I thought of when I saw this Suki button-down from Fahrety, complete with voluminous blouson sleeves. I’m also getting the same free-spirited energy from Loft's square-neck top and Sézane’s ruffle-adorned blouse.

As bride-to-be Sophie, Seyfried embraces romantic white pieces, including a number of swingy skirts accented with eyelet and lace. Whether you’re strolling on a Greek beach, hitching a ride on a fishing boat or simply enjoying an al fresco meal at your local brunch spot, you can add whimsy to your ensemble with these eyelet-accented lookalikes from Quince and Sézane. Wanna go extra flirty? Step into the sheer lace tiers of this Free People midi skirt that definitely calls for a twirl or two.
