The characters of Cristina (played by Scarlett Johansson) and Maria Elena (played by Penelope Cruz) in Vicky Cristina Barcelona gave us plenty of summer style inspiration. Gingham is a big trend for Spring/Summer 2015 and you can keep it from looking too childish by pairing a bright gingham button-down shirt with dark high-waisted shorts, a la Cristina. If you opt for a playful white summer dress, like Maria Elena, toughen up the look with a stylish black hat.

Get the look: Channel Cristina with this Fred Perry Gingham Top, £36 from asos.com, and these Sandro Woven Shorts, £76, selfridges.co.uk. For Maria Elena's look, we love this Dream Catcher Overlay Dress, £76 from topshop.com with this Fedora Hat, £15 from warehouse.co.uk
