Mini's Wardrobe

Everything you need to know about Mini McGuinness from Skins.

[minis-wardrobe]

does Freya actually have freckles or did the makeup department do that for Mini? if so, they really did a great job!

She actually has freckles in real life! She looks really pretty with them!

[minis-wardrobe]

Did Mini ever get over her ED? In series 5 it was mentioned a few times, but in series 6 they never mentioned it. I'm just confused cause it never showed her getting over it.

Yeah, I feel the same about it. I feel like they just wanted to start new storylines for her character (Malo, pregnancy, father issues), so they were like “Oh, Mini can’t have ED anymore because why would she? It’s not as interesting as her new storylines. Let’s end it” and they got over it. I hate that decision. It was a big part of her character and I wanted to see how she overcomes her issues but I never got to. But that’s what they did with series 6. I love it but look at what they did to Franky, for example. It seems like they wanted to rewrite those characters to fit their storylines which is truly a shame.

Series 6, episode 2 looks

When? When she’s at Grace’s house.

I’m back, you guys! Back with a post about Mini’s outfits from the next series 6 episode, Rich’s. It’s such a sad episode and I had a hard time watching it for the first time, because, you know, Grace. But I don’t really like Mini’s appearance in it. I mean, she’s just having sex at her friend’s house (who’s in a coma, by the way) and she’s not even ashamed. It’s not Mini anymore, not really. Our Mini was insecure when it came to such things and she’d definitely not have sex at someone’s house. Anyway, back to the main topic. The first outfit Mini’s wearing in this episode is quite simple (it’s Mini we’re talking about). She’s wearing denim dungaree shorts and a sleeveless top with a front zip and brown at the front and green on the sides. Her bag is black and she decorated it with a brown scarf, I guess? I’m not sure what it is, to be honest. As always, she’s wearing a few bangle bracelets, rings and her long gold earrings with blue detailing. I believe she’s also wearing a beige bra.

When? When she’s at the party.

Mini as a DJ? Who would have thought? But she looks pretty awesome while being one in her totally “Mini” pink headphones. She’s wearing a green sequined compass dress with short sleeves, lots of various bangles and rings, navy blue socks and orange sandals. As you can see, it’s a pretty vibrant outfit.

[minis-wardrobe]

do you know where to get a muscle top like the one mini wore in the beginning of her episode in season 6 while in the stall with alo?

I guess you mean the top she’s wearing here:

I found a few tops that are somewhat similar to the one Mini’s wearing, but it was really hard to do as there are no tops like hers in most of the stores, which is truly a shame. Some of those differ when it comes to colour or a cut, but it was really hard to find the real “lookalikes”, so bear with me.

Mini McGuinness - Skins

[minis-wardrobe]

Show's producers must've spent soo much money with Mini's wardrobe alone... holy shiat those brands are expensive!

Oh, yes, I think you’re right. Some of those brands are quite expensive, indeed. But, actually, many of her clothes were also thrifted/vintage or made by costume designers. And I think Mini’s clothes are really supposed to look expensive (because that’s what Mini wants, she wants to look pretty, rich and trendy) while they aren’t that expensive. Or at least some of them aren’t.

[minis-wardrobe]

Hi! I just wanted to say that I found this tee that reminded me of Mini’s “May be, May be not” top from 6x01. While it’s not exactly the same as the writing’s only at the front, a tee is black and the back is ripped, it’s a great inspiration. You can get it here!

[minis-wardrobe]

Series 6, episode 1 looks

When? When they ride motorbikes and arrive at the villa.

At the beginning of series 6, she looks so “not Mini”. Like… do you see what she’s wearing? This look reminds me of what most of the teenagers would wear, but not what Mini would! Even I would wear it, but why did they do that to her, “The Fashion Queen” who wears pinks, golds and sequins all the time? So, you probably want to know what it is she’s wearing. She goes for a black bikini top (because, of course, she’s not insecure anymore), a red vintage Baton leader’s jacket with cream sleeves, denim shorts with a gold belt, black cowboy boots, big feather earrings, a few heavy bracelets and a big orange/red ring. At least, her curls are very pretty!

When? When she goes to Luke’s party with the gang.

The next time we see her, she opts for a more revealing look. She’s wearing black high-waisted leather shorts, a pink bikini top and something thrown over it, but I don’t know what the word for it is. I can also see her navy long earrings and gold bracelets.

When? When she wakes up.

She goes for a very simple look here. She’s wearing a blue tee with a writing: “May be” at the front and “Maybe be not” at the back. She’s also wearing gold panties.

When? When they have fun by the pool.

She looks very good in a red swimsuit. She also goes for white sunglasses, gold earrings and a big blue ring.

When? When they’re at the beach party.

This time, she’s wearing a green swimsuit and sequined shorts over it, but she’s not wearing any top. She goes for the same vintage cowboy boots as earlier in the episode. She’s wearing long black-and-gold earrings, a long necklace and a few bracelets and bangles in many colours. She’s also wearing rings.

When? When she sits by the table.

It’s such a sad moment and, of course, Mini looks everything but happy. But her clothes look a lot better than she might feel at the moment. She’s wearing a pink lace sleeveless top, floral pants, red heeled shoes, hideous green earrings and two bracelets: silver and orange.

[minis-wardrobe]

Series 5, episode 8 looks

When? When she’s in her bedroom.

She’s wearing a blue tank top and a yellow one underneath it (or is it a bra?). She’s also wearing purple leggings and white sneakers. I believe she’s also wearing a pink watch, a purple drawstring bag and small earrings. And I love, love, love that scene! It shows us a different side of Mini we’ve never seen before!

When? When they get ready for a wedding.

She’s wearing grey jeans, a black shirt and a black top underneath it. It’s so not Mini-like, don’t you think? She also added brown suspenders to the look. She opts for a gold necklace, a few bracelets (I guess?) and a few gold rings. I think she’s also wearing longer earrings.

When? When they go to Rich and Grace’s wedding.

The next time, we see her wearing the same top and accessories as earlier, but this time, she has a long purple lace dress with short sleeves thrown over it. I think she’s also wearing black panties. Her shoes are black heeled boots. So, this is the last look from this series! The post about 6x01′s style is coming soon!

[minis-wardrobe]

Send me your asks, questions and requests! I'll be glad to help you. Anyway, why is Tumblr being shit? I added the post about Mini's bike shorts to the queue and it got deleted. And yesterday, I posted "Mini's looks from 5x08" and it turns out it's not posted...

[minis-wardrobe]

Series 5, episode 7 looks

When? During rehearsal for a play and when she’s at Gracie’s and at the party later.

It’s finally Gracie’s episode we need to talk about! And since Mini is her best friend, we see her quite a lot here. It doesn’t matter that Mini (not Freya, obviously) is such a terrible actress in it, because she does have some good looks that make me want to steal her clothes from her wardrobe! Anyway, in her first scene in this episode, she’s wearing her brown pants with black detailing, a black-and-blue striped top, beige-and-black heels that we’ve already seen on her many times and a navy blue or black bra. We can also see that she’s wearing her usual earrings, a few pearl bracelets and necklaces, as well as a big black ring. Later, she adds a gold sequined jacket to the look.

When? During the next rehearsal for the play.

Let’s face it: Mini’s such a terrible actress and we can see it in so many scenes from this episode. But it doesn’t mean she can’t look good while being one. She’s wearing her sequined crop top (from the first episode, I think), a long skirt in a light shade of pink and a denim jacket. I can also see that she’s wearing grey socks, yellow (or beige?) ankle boots, a pink bracelet, a gold statement necklace and long earrings. She really does look good and it seems like she has already forgotten about Nick. Now, Franky’s the only person she feels something for, I guess.

When? During the play.

She looks great in this costume! The dress is blue and floor-length with white and yellow detailing. Also, her hair! It’s so perfect for a girl like her. Anyway, the next post about her style will be the last one from this series, so keep an eye out for it!

[minis-wardrobe]

Series 5, episode 6 looks

When? When they organise a “surprise” birthday party for Alo.

I think this episode is great when it comes to the relationship between Alo and Mini. She gives him some advice and he says she’s not as bad as she seems to be at the beginning which is just cute and amazing, it shows us that they can actually be good friends. Also, we are given a hint that Mini is developing romantic feelings for Franky. And, you know, Mini is not such a mega-bitch in this episode, to be honest. Maybe it’s the fact that she and Nick broke up in the previous one? Anyway, the first look she’s wearing in Alo’s episode consists of a white short-sleeved tee with a black collar, black trousers, black wedge brogues and a silver bracelet, as well as her usual earrings. I love it, because it’s so casual and comfortable without all the sequins, golds and pinks (even though I love them, too!).

When? When she sees the gang at the pub.

The next time we see her she’s back in her glam while wearing a white see-through top and a navy blue bra under it, gold shorts and black tights-like leggings. She goes for the same shoes as before. She’s wearing a few bracelets and her pink bag, too. How could she not?

When? When she goes to Alo’s party, and later to Nick’s.

Here she is: the Queen M herself wearing black wellies. But she’s also wearing beige knee-high socks, black shorts, a gold sequined top and a fur vest. As you know, she also went for lots of jewellery, but I won’t say what exactly again, because you are aware of what kind of jewellery she wears all the time. And... that’s it! To the next post about her style in 5x07!

[minis-wardrobe]

Series 5, episode 5 looks

When? When Nick visits her and gives her a massage.

The only piece of clothing she's wearing that I can see is her purple-ish pink tank top.

When? When she goes to school with Nick.

She goes for a more casual look here, I think (except for the see-through top). She’s wearing black or navy blue skinny jeans, a pink bra and a black sleeveless fishnet top over it. On the top of it, she’s wearing a black vest. This look wouldn’t be complete without a pink purse and gold heels, as well as her favourite jewellery (a few pearl and gold bracelets, long earrings, a gold necklace and, I guess, rings).

When? When she's at the party.

It’s one of my favourite looks that she wears in this series. And she’s wearing a black-and-pink bra underneath a beige lace top and a black shiny blazer. She’s also wearing a black leather skirt, black fishnet bike shorts and black knee-high socks. As usual, she opts for tons of jewellery to look perfect which works well for that look. And, please, look at their faces in the picture above. Mini looks like she hopes that her boyfriend will love her forever and he kind of wants to get over it and be with Liv, which is sad for me.

[minis-wardrobe]

Series 5, episode 4 looks

When? When she meets the rest of the group.

It’s Liv’s episode and we do see Mini quite a lot here, but she’s only wearing two looks. The 1st one is from “Liv’s” party where the group hangs out and gets to know each other more. Mini’s wearing a black sleeveless top and a blue bra under it, gold-and-black shorts, beige bike shorts and high heels, I think. It’s unclear whether she’s wearing socks or not, but she probably is. During one scene, she’s also wearing a dark denim jacket and her favourite pink bag. She’s wearing her gold bracelets, a necklace, long gold earrings and a ring again.

When? When she speaks to Liv at the end of the episode.

The next time we see her, she’s wearing a green tank top, a pink bra and purple leggings. I know she’s also wearing a pink bag and a watch in the same colour, but I can’t see her shoes.

Mini’s series 5 hairstyles: part 1

In episode 1, Mini wears her curls pinned over to the side. She’s having a few red pins in her hair. Later, she wears her hair in a high ponytail. During her party, her hair is worn in a side braid. In episode 2, she wears her hair curly again, but this time, it’s pinned back at the front. In her own episode, episode 3, she wears her hair in loose curls most of the time. Later, when she’s at the gym, she wears her hair in a bun on the top of her head.

[minis-wardrobe]

Series 5, episode 3 looks

When? When she wakes up in her bedroom at the beginning of the episode.

Mini looks perfect in her pink nighty and a sleep mask which has open eyes on it. I think it’s supposed to mean that even when she sleeps, Mini needs to control each thing that turns around her, which is both sad and amazing.

When? When she eats breakfast and works out at the gym.

Mini's wearing a red sports bra and grey leggings the next time we see her. Her trainers are white and pink, and she’s also wearing a pink watch. It’s one of those times when we can see that she probably has an ED. I mean, she removes one banana chip from her bowl and takes special supplements for losing fat. And she works out before school... at the gym... isn’t that a bit weird for a teenager?

When? When she’s at school and gets ready for a fashion show.

Mini is one of those people that make me laugh, even if it’s not a real person. Those scenes when she speaks to Grace and says she might be mental are genius. And genius is also her look which consists of a black dress (or is it a playsuit?), a lace long-sleeved top and lace bike shorts. “She wraps herself in strands of pearls” that she wears as a belt and a necklace, pearl and gold bracelets and a pink watch (but not the same as she was wearing at the gym). She added a pink purse, fake black Ray Bans and beige and black lace-up high-heeled shoes to the look. Also, can you see the socks, they'd look ridiculous on everyone but Mini. It’s turn for my favourite item she’s wearing which is, obviously, her Lee’s leather black and gold handmade jacket.

When? When she’s in her bedroom and at the gym.

Mini is rocking the sports fashion again. She’s wearing a red sleeveless leopard top, white shorts, a pink jacket, as well as her favourite white and pink trainers and lovely pink socks. Her pink elegant watch is replaced by the sports one which is also pink, obviously. And can you see Mini’s perfect face in the picture above? She looks like she’s a broken princess who doesn’t know what to do anymore, which is kind of true.

When? When she goes out later.

Mini’s back in her “armour” when she, Liv, Nick and Rider go out. She’s wearing her gold-and-black jacket again (but you can’t see it in the picture above), and she opts for a black studded bag this time. She’s also wearing a pink tank top, a gold sequined skirt and gold bike shorts underneath it, cute pink socks that remind me of Cassie somehow and brown-and-beige oxford shoes, I think. Her jewellery is a must-have, obviously.

When? When Mini wakes up and sees Liv and Nick sleeping next to each other.

She’s wearing a pink-and-white striped bra and similar panties. And she looks too cute for her own good...

When? When she’s at the gym.

She quickly changes into her workout clothes, a pink jacket, a black sports bra, grey shorts and white shoes, but I can’t see them clearly. She added her pink watch to the look, of course.

When? When she’s at school and prepares for a fashion show.

She looks adorable the next time we see her. She’s wearing a sequined top and sequined bike shorts... no one would be brave enough to wear that, only Mini. Over the shorts, she’s also wearing a dark skirt. We see her black high-heeled shoes, pink socks and the pop ones again. And, of course, her perfect and favourite pink purse and braceletes, a pink watch and earrings. And, can you see how insecure Mini looks here? She doesn’t want to let that on, but deep down, she’s very insecure.

When? When she’s in her bedroom, changing herself into someone she’s not.

Five words: what a perfect pink bathrobe.

When? When the fashion show takes place, she loses her virginity to Nick and comes back home.

It’s one of the saddest, and the most wonderful at the same time, moments in Skins’ history for me. “Don’t be afraid, you’re already dead, don’t be afraid, it’s only love...” - it’s just pure perfection. Mini’s wearing her pink dress here, the pink underwear, gold high heels and lots of jewellery, including gold and pearl bracelets and long pearl earrings which look ridiculous, to be honest. She’s also wearing a veiled headband. Anyway, the most heartbreaking episode from Skins (at least for me) comes to an end which means no more looks in this post.
