Lucy Punch’s dazzling performance as Amanda in Amandaland is a masterclass in comedic timing and alpha-mum style. A spin-off of the BAFTA-winning Motherland, the series follows Amanda as she navigates life post-divorce, trading plush Chiswick for the (self-dubbed) trendy enclave of “SoHa” (South Harlesden). Alongside her bouncy blowout and razor-sharp wit, Amanda’s wardrobe is a treasure trove of aspirational, middle-class fashion.
Costume designer Helen Woolfenden crafted Amanda’s look to be “expensive, but on a budget,” turning to high-street staples from Zara, Marks & Spencer, and Mango. The result? A polished, put-together aesthetic built on sharp blazers, uncreased denim, and sky-high heels. Meanwhile, Joanna Lumley’s Felicity, Amanda’s effortlessly chic mother, exudes relaxed elegance in V-neck jumpers, wide-leg trousers, and statement coats.
Here, we break down the standout looks from Amandaland and reveal where to shop the high-street versions.
