When we first saw the teaser trailer for Amy Winehouse's biopic Back to Black, we couldn't help but fixate on her fashion. The one-minute and 15-second teaser shows Marisa Abela, who plays Amy, sporting some of her most iconic ‘fits, but we couldn't help but wonder how accurate the parallels were to the late star's actual wardrobe choices.
From her white hair streak to her over-the-top signature liquid eyeliner look, Amy Winehouse’s style simultaneously reflects those of her beauty choices. Often opting for a bustier, tartan print mini skirt, little black dresses and itty bitty denim shorts, Amy’s wardrobe repertoire was nothing short of iconic.
When looking at the side-by-side's of Marisa Abela and Amy Winehouse, we can conclude that the biopic left us pleasantly surprised, nailing many of Amy's iconic fashion looks.

This look is extremely similar to what she wore to the 2008 Grammy Awards, but instead of a black corset, she opted for a simple fitted vest.

In the trailer, Amy is seen with her partner Blake Fielder-Civil, played by Jack O'Connell, picnicking in a park. The singer sported a stripe bandeau top, low-waisted pink shorts and black heels, striking a resemblance to an actual picnic the lovebirds embarked on in Primrose Hill.

Back to Black started filming in April of last year and is set to be released in UK cinemas on April 12th of this year.
