Upgraded to Love: Camila Mendes’ Stylish First Class Upgraded Wardrobe
If you have seen Camila Mendes’ new Amazon Prime romantic comedy, Upgraded, it might not be that much of a surprise to hear it compared to the 2006 cult classic The Devil Wears Prada. And although we’ve technically swapped fashion for art, Ana Santos, our young aspiring gallery owner, who meets a handsome stranger on a flight to London might be where the two worlds collide. Especially with her envy-inducing Camila Mendes Upgraded outfits, that give her a stylish and modern wardrobe that any leading lady would kill for.

Camila Mendes’ Urban Outfitters White Corset-Style Cropped Shirt as Ana Santos in Upgraded
Ana Santos might just be a lowly, underpaid trainee intern at the exclusive New York auction house Erwin’s, but that hasn’t deterred her from her aspirations of owning her own gallery. And to make that a reality first she has to impress her cut-throat boss, Claire DuPont.
Which is exactly what she thought she was doing when she put on her Urban Outfitters white corset-style cropped shirt, with its fitted silhouette, cap sleeves and hook-and-eye front fastening. Ana wasn’t to know that a fateful train ride would have her scrambling to find another way to prove herself.
Ana’s Zara Linen Blazer Travelling Outfit and White Lie in Upgraded
Little did William (Archie Renaux) know how right he was when he uttered the line “Chance moments can change the course of your life.” Especially after mistakenly believing Ana is the Director of her auction house’s New York office.
So it is just as well the Camila Mendes Upgraded outfits are stylish and trendy enough to pull-off the fabrication. Just like her simple Zara linen printed cuff blazer, that she had picked for the transatlantic flight. And paired with a simple black tank top, matching drawstring waisted pants and shiny new white Nike Air Max 90 sneakers.
Camila Mendes Black Cut-Out Dress as Seen in Upgraded
With the beautiful Camila Mendes’ best known for playing television’s most popular jewel toned “it girl” Veronica Lodge in Riverdale (steal her look here), Ana Santos’ Upgraded wardrobe of monochromatic blacks and whites was quite the change of pace. Full of statement looks and high street finds, Ana’s black cut-out Zara mini-dress (that’s sold out everywhere) with its short wrap skirt looked just expensive and luxurious enough to play into the little white lie that our intern had told.
Ana’s Jacquard-Knit Sweater Vest
With one look after another Ana, who has been assigned an out of the way basement office by Claire’s other meddling assistants, continues to impress with her Camila Mendes Upgraded outfits. Picking the perfect looks to juggle her menial, dogsbody hardwork on the auction with her invented position of power. This time with a jacquard-knit sweater vest, with her trademark use of the monochromatic black and white reflected in the large argyle pattern and simple accompanying accessories.
The Norma Kamali Black Sweetheart Halter Gown in Upgraded
In a perfect mix of Disney’s Cinderella and Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, Ana Santos will go to the swanky London art show with her potential true-love William, and his mother Catherine after all. “Borrowing” one of her bosses couture designer gowns, a Norma Kamali to be precise, to have her own perfect dress moment. With the sultry figure hugging black gown reflecting Julia’s with it’s similar style sweetheart neckline, that this time finishes with a halter strap, daring side split and big dash of courage.
Monochromatic: Another Black and White Look for Camila Mendes in Upgraded
Modern, simple and stylish is the best way to describe the Camila Mendes Upgraded outfits. Staying true to her black and white color palette for almost every outfit that we see her in, the monochromatic tones give Ana’s wardrobe an unfussy and mature feel. Which she expertly balances out with more playful and youthful cuts. Similar to the look she wore with her black high waisted shorts, that she paired with an everyday simple basic round neck tank top.
Ana Santos’ Urban Outfitters Red Bloom Print Mesh Mini-Dress in Upgraded
With Ana’s relationship with Will going from strength to strength, we see a rare piece of color in Ana’s Upgraded wardrobe. The red bloom pattern and soft sheer nature of the printed mesh mini-dress from Urban Outfitters, with its subtle touches of lace, perfectly reflects the romance and blossoming love between the pair. But this is Ana Santos we are talking about and she just can’t stop herself from adding a simple, yet tough leather jacket in her favorite color black, over the delicate slip dress.
A Black Sleeveless Pinafore Dress and the Truth
It seems remarkable that such a small suitcase, that we see Ana wheeling through London on numerous occasions, could have held this many stylish Camila Mendes Upgraded outfits. And the black pinafore dress that we see her wearing when all her lies eventually start to catch-up with her is no exception. Plus the simplicity of the pinafore dress, that fits Ana like a glove, with its low V-front neckline and mini-skirt length pairs perfectly with her basic white button-up shirt and black heeled patent pumps, to look the epitome of modern business formal.
Catherine’s Nanushka Belted Shirt Dress and Chanel Earrings in Upgraded
In a movie full of statement moments, Ana’s return to the London offices of Erwin’s auction house after being escorted out by security the last time, is up there as one of the best. Dressed head to toe from the wardrobe of Catherine, the supple faux-leather Nanushka belted shirt dress in a softer cream tone gives a more mature edge to the youthful fired intern’s look.
However, maybe it was returning back with the client who wants you to be incharge of the auction, or maybe it was her large, flashy gold Chanel earrings but something definitely got Ana Santos back in Claire DuPont’s good books.
A few more Outfits Inspo by Ana (Camila Mendes) in Upgraded
With a plot that isn’t too far off that of The Devil Wears Prada, and a wardrobe department with just as many stylish outfits it won’t be long before Upgraded gets the cult classic status that it deserves. But even with a sugary sweet romance, female empowerment and another highly cut-throat industry in the mix, it will no doubt be the Camila Mendes Upgraded outfits that most people will be talking about long after they have watched the movie for the hundredth time.
