On the podcast

Listen to the style discussion with Kyle Barbeau & Jon Shanahan on the podcast (available to listen on iTunes,   Stitcher  or  Spotify  or in the player below). You can also catch our chat on YouTube.

From the Book:

When he first started out Jordan Belfort talks about his time as a young broker making his way in the world with his cheap Clodhopper shoes and cheap blue suit. I wasn’t familiar with the term Clodhopper but have since learned it’s an ugly, unfashionable boot/shoe used mainly for heavy duty use. See more of the origin story on the Word Detective site . Jordan also wore a Timex watch that he purchased at JC Penny’s for 14 bucks.

When Jordan made money he spoke fondly about his hand made black cowboy boots. Each boot was cut from a single crocodile skin and was worth 2400 dollars. This he never compromised on, but his wive ‘The Duchess’ insisted that he got a different watch to the one he owned. An 18 thousand dollar gold Bvlgari watch which he described as ‘thin and understated’. Instead he got a solid gold Rolex; thick and chunky.

Who made the suits?

Jordan names Anthony Gilberto as the firm’s tailor. He is played in The Wolf of Wall Street by Leonard Logsdail and his son. Leonard made a lot of the suits for Leonardo Di Caprio and Jonah Hill, and you can read my interview with Leonard about this in a previous article here .

In the book Jordan describes Gilberto,

All day long he’d go from desk to desk of young Strattonites taking orders. Custom made suits 2000 dollars a pop. The dress code for men at Stratton Oakmont would be a custom made suit, white dress shirt, silk neck tie, solid gold wrist watch. For the women; go to hell skirts, push up bras and plunging necklines.

About the watch

In the film that Di Caprio throws during a speech, Kyle Barbeau has some intel on this,

So in the film, because Leonardo DiCaprio is a brand ambassador for TAG HEUER. He’s wearing TAG watches, not Rolexes and even though the real Jordan Belfort threw a solid gold Rolex watch, the one that Leo throws is a gold plated TAG. It’s because of Leo’s professional relationship with TAG but it’s it’s better for the film, because it’s not solid gold. It’s gold plated, it’s everything on the surface looks shiny and beautiful, but really underneath its base metal, which is Jordan Belfort which is Stratton Oakmont.

About that Yacht outfit Jon Shanahan says,

Yeah, that yacht outfit is the iconic look from this film. I mean that is the one that everybody remembers. It looks great. The white polo I mean, that’s just a classic, white polo that anybody can pull off. It’s, I think the way that he wears it there looks good in the film, but also would look great today. The pleated khaki, like trousers that he wears, too. The braided belt and everything. I think that’s a killer style. You can customize the size of the Polo logo on their website . So you can get the white polo. And then you can say if you want micro size, medium size, large size, etc.

God bless America

Shopping List

Next on my reading list is the Ralph Lauren Polo book, available on Amazon . I was tempted to get this tee (below) for the show but it was too last minute. This is the best reviewed on Amazon.

Iconic Scenes: The Wolf of Wall Street – The Yacht Bribe

I love The Wolf of Wall Street . I think it is a spectacular film that seems to grow more relevant as time passes. I also think that the central character and narrator, Jordan Belfort, is not the most important or key character – that is Agent Denham. So I’m looking at the brilliant scene where Belfort and Denham first meet.

What Happens

Multi-millionaire and thoroughly corrupt stockbroker Jordan Belfort invites two FBI agents to his luxury yacht after he learns that they are investigating him. Agent Denham, and a virtually silent partner, arrive for what starts as a very friendly meeting. Belfort hands over some of the information the FBI has been trying to get while constantly trying to impress them with his wealth and insisting he’s done nothing wrong. Belfort draws Denham into a conversation and it seems the FBI agent is not happy at being given the case and would be willing to play ball with Belfort. At which point, Belfort tries to bribe Denham, and then the tone changes. It’s immediately obvious that Denham is not willing to play ball and is determined to bring Belfort down. The conversation gets increasingly acrimonious and ends with Belfort literally throwing lobsters and handfuls of cash at the departing FBI agents.

When you sail on a yacht fit for a Bond villain, sometimes you gotta act the part

DiCaprio is sensational in this scene. Despite getting very good advice not to contact the FBI and try some scheming, this is exactly what Belfort does. They meet on his insanely luxurious yacht, where Belfort has beautiful women lounging on chairs, he is dressed in bright white “yacht clothes” and constantly turning on his beaming smile. He offers them lobsters and drinks. It does not seem to occur to Belfort that showing off his immense, and ill-gotten wealth, might not be the best idea when you’re being investigated for crimes in the stock market.

Belfort’s attempt at bribery is fantastic. Basically detailing a story where he advised someone in need of money in what stocks to invest in and that person making a fortune and how Belfort “would be willing to do that for anyone”. When challenged about this being a bribe Belfort reveals he researched what legally constitutes a bribe and that wouldn’t count. Again, it’s a little suspicious for someone to be able to recite the criminal code of a crime if they’re not a lawyer.

Good for you, Little Man

Oh, Agent Denham, you film stealing hero. Denham is played by Kyle Chandler who, and this is important for the Denham role, is your go-to guy for American decency (if you need someone younger than Tom Hanks), he is probably best known for his role in Friday Night Lights where he played an honourable, upstanding and inspirational football coach. Denham’s casual chatting with Belfort seems to suggest he is not interested in the case and possibly dissatisfied with his job, the attempted bribe being when he flips to his real character.

As Belfort becomes more aggressive Denham responds in kind and leads to one of the all-time best deliveries, “Good for you, little man,” when sarcastically congratulating Belfort on becoming a Wall Street douchebag without any help from anyone else. Belfort is stunned by this comment but mainly in that he can’t understand it…he’s rich, really rich, how can he be a “little man”, he’s a giant. A colossus. The embodiment of the American Dream. The thing is, of course, Denham is right.

Fun Coupons

A lot of this scene is purely about status. Of all the places Belfort could have met with the FBI agents he chooses his insanely expensive yacht. He is obsessed with money and how much the FBI agents make, originally pretending to be sympathetic but quickly changing to just mocking them. Belfort assumes that because Denham works for the FBI for what to him is an insignificant amount of money he is a loser. The idea that Denham might believe in what he’s doing is either inconceivable or at best a pitiable weakness. To me, this is the best and most interesting scene in the whole film – not the drug-filled hedonistic parties, not the cult-like team talks Belfort gives his employees, not the incredibly charismatic phone calls Belfort makes when selling stocks but this scene where Denham sizes up Belfort and sees right through him.

Years ago David Cross and Bob Odenkirk made a sketch show called Mr. Show , which contained a sketch based on the premise “someone who makes more money than you is better than you”, so Van Gogh, Einstein and Galileo are actually pretty unsuccessful people. This is Jordan Belfort’s philosophy – he is better than just about everyone he meets because he is richer.

The Hero I’m Going To Be Back At The Office, When The Bureau seizes this boat!

All Belfort manages to do in this scene is upset the FBI and probably convince them that yes, he is absolutely breaking the law. It’s an interesting look at the dynamic of power in America (and indeed the whole world) – who is the more powerful person? Belfort with his huge personal wealth or Denham as a federal officer, a representative of the most powerful country on Earth. There was a lot of discussion at the time about if people actually saw Belfort as the hero of this film, that people liked him and wanted him to win. I saw this as Goodfellas but for white-collar crime. In this scene Belfort helps further his own downfall, antagonising the FBI. In the final moments of this scene, Belfort has just finished throwing money at Denham and his arrogance and deluded grandeur fade as he realises he has just made a terrible mistake.

Jordan Belfort’s ex-wife tells the real story behind the yacht on The Wolf of Wall Street

The ex-wife of jordan belfort shed some light on the infamous scene.

Ben Thompson

Jordan Belfort's ex wife, Nadine Macaluso, has set the record straight about the scene in The Wolf Of Wall Street where Belfort splashes out and buys his wife a yacht on their wedding day.

I mean, when you have a lot of money , what better way to treat your new spouse after saying I do?

After their lavish wedding, Belford ( Leonardo DiCaprio ) covers Nadine's, or Naomi as she's known in the movie, eyes with a blindfold before revealing the huge yacht, which has been christened the 'Naomi'.

And Naomi (played by Margot Robbie ) cannot contain her excitement.

"Are you serious? A f***ing yacht?!" she exclaims.

However, it seems that the real Belfort wasn't very serious, as Macaluso revealed on TikTok that her ex-husband, who she was married to from 1991 to 2005, 'did not' actually buy her a boat on their wedding day.

She said: "Actually what happened I think we were married for a few years and we were always chartering yachts, because he loved to do that.

"And I had given birth to my beautiful daughter Chandler and he said 'I want to buy a yacht'."

However, this idea didn't sit well with Macaluso at the time.

She continued: "I said 'I don't think we should buy a yacht, we have a baby and I don't feel comfortable.

'She can't swim.'

"I had visions of her falling off the boat and I was actually terrified.

"I did not want to buy the yacht ironically. And he was like 'Nope, I'm buying a yacht and I'm calling it the Nadine'. And I was like 'Okay, here we go'.

"And you know how that went."

Macaluso's final line is a nod to a scene in the film, in which Belfort and Naomi need to be rescued from the yacht after it gets caught up in a storm.

This scene was indeed based on the real life sinking of the ship in June 1996, which resulted in a rescue by the Italian Navy Special forces.

The yacht was sunk after violent waves repeatedly hit it, but luckily everyone on board was able to escape the ship in time.

Macaluso has previously commented on the scene's accuracy , where she admitted in a TikTok video that the yacht sinking scene was 'totally true'.

Speaking of the memory, she said: "It was horrific, horrifying, we were in a squall for 12 to 18 hours and we lived, thank god, for my kids."

She even showed real life footage of her, Belford and their friends being rescued by the Navy.

Jordan Belfort Yacht: The True Story and The Wolf of Wall Street Version

luxuo guide

Share This Article

The true Jordan Belfort yacht story is as strange and unbelievable as the hit movie The Wolf of Wall Street depicts it to be. There are several insider stories behind the sinking of the mighty yacht that are not widely known but are quite interesting and different from the reel version in several ways.

Nadine yacht model

What happened to the Jordan Belfort yacht Nadine? As the movie, The Wolf of Wall Street shows, the superyacht Nadine sank close to the coast of Sardinia in 1997 while battling what many calls “the storm of the century”. Jordan Belfort narrates the event in detail in the memoir describing his life in the 90s, which is what the Martin Scorsese movie is about.

Jordan belfort yacht sailing

Did the yacht scene in The Wolf of Wall Street actually happen? The Jordan Belfort yacht sinking scene in The Wolf of Wall Street was heavily inspired by a real-life event, though the movie did take some creative liberties. For one, the yacht was called Naomi in the reel version since the name of Belfort’s wife (played by Margot Robbie) was changed in the movie. In reality, the yacht was named Nadine.

Interesting insights on the sinking as portrayed in the movie

The movie captured each passenger’s fear and stress when the yacht got caught up in the 70-knot storm. There is some hilarity when Belfort starts yelling for his drugs to avoid the horror of dying sober. Several rescue attempts were made, but each was called off due to rising risks. By some twist of luck, the yacht’s engine room remained undamaged primarily for a while, because of which they were able to make their way through the sea.

The best features of the Jordan Belfort yacht Nadine

The 167 ft Nadine, as its former passengers claim, was beautiful. When owned by Coco Chanel under the name Matilda, the yacht had five staterooms, large dining areas, and a helipad. The interiors were furnished with dark teak paneling. Each new owner customized the yacht’s name and interiors based on their tastes.

Which model was portrayed as the Jordan Belfort yacht Nadine in the movie?

Martin Scorsese got the yacht Lady M to represent Nadine onscreen. While Nadine had a luxuriously vintage charm, Lady M is a modern vessel with contemporary features. Lady M was manufactured in 2022 by Intermarine Savannah, while Nadine was built in 1961 by Witsen & Wis. The 147 ft Lady M is currently worth $12 million and is similar to Benetti yachts in its glamorous design.

Jordan Belfort’s life today

The entrepreneur and speaker Jordan Belfort’s shenanigans are well-known thanks to his detailed memoir and the hit movie based on some parts of his life. He spent 2 years in prison and now has practically negative net worth at 59 years of age. Yet, his extraordinary motivational speaking skills continue to attract and inspire people even today. It is easy for anyone watching the movie to wonder if many of the incidents are exaggerated. But considering Belfort’s eccentric life, even the Nadine sinking incident remains another regular anecdote shared in the movie.

Meet the Real Wolf of Wall Street Superyacht Built for Coco Chanel

The yachting disaster is one of the most dramatic scenes in Martin Scorsese’s blockbuster The Wolf of Wall Street , and like many of the tales in the Leonardo DiCaprio flick, it’s based on a true story. In real life, predatory tycoon Jordan Belfort bought a yacht in 1993 called Big Eagle and renamed her Nadine , after his English-born second wife. The vessel had been built in 1961 by Witsen & Vis in Holland for fashion icon Coco Chanel, but had undergone many transformations by the time Belfort got his mitts on it. Originally 121 feet long, in the 1970s she was extended by nearly 15 feet, and in 1988 she was cut in half and had another 29-foot section grafted on, finally totaling 167 feet.

The luxury yacht used in Scorsese’s film actually bears little resemblance to the  Nadine , being a far more modern vessel. The director hired the 148-foot  Lady M , built by Intermarine Savannah in 2002 and refit in 2011, for filming. It features luxury accommodations for 10 guests, and a marble and granite interior with gold accents.

In Coco Chanel’s day the yacht was mainly used to cruise from Monaco to Deauville for the summer horse racing season. The real  Nadine  sank in 1997 during a storm off the east coast of Sardinia while crossing from Porto Cervo to Capri, much as the movie depicts. Belfort has said that his insistence on sailing in a storm caused the yacht to capsize. Luckily, everyone on board at the time was rescued by the Italian coast guard.

Jordan Belfort Yacht: The True Story and The Wolf of Wall Street Version

Jordan Belfort narrates the event in detail in the memoir describing his life in the 90s, which is what the Martin Scorsese movie is about.

Before getting into the details of the sinking, it is worth noting that the 37m yacht had a long and interesting history. She carried renowned celebrities like Coco Chanel before reaching Jordan Belfort (played by Leonardo DiCaprio in the movie) and was one of the largest yachts in the East Coast’s waters.

While the yacht was initially manufactured for a French native and given the name Matilda, he backed out of the deal. This led Coco Chanel to buy the beautiful yacht with the low superstructure that Dutch yachts are famous for.

The yacht took on different names as it passed through famous hands, even those of the murder trial acquitted Melvin Lane Powers. Belfort named the yacht after his wife and renovated it with the capacity to carry a helicopter, 6 Jetskis, 4 motorbikes, and much more. Under Belfort’s ownership, the yacht witnessed a series of wild parties that were like unlimited glamour and fun in a package until disaster struck unexpectedly.

Did the yacht scene in The Wolf of Wall Street actually happen?

The Jordan Belfort yacht sinking scene in The Wolf of Wall Street was heavily inspired by a real-life event, though the movie did take some creative liberties. For one, the yacht was called Naomi in the reel version since the name of Belfort’s wife (played by Margot Robbie ) was changed in the movie. In reality, the yacht was named Nadine.

The movie further depicts Belfort’s helicopter getting thrown off the yacht by strong waves. In reality, the yacht’s crew went up to the deck and pushed off the helicopter so that Italian navy seals would have a space to land. The yacht’s itinerary was altered a bit by the movie’s director Martin Scorsese to add to the drama, though the power of the storm was scarily accurate.

Belfort admitted that the yacht’s captain Mark Elliot explicitly warned them not to sail to Sardinia on that fateful night. But according to the movie, there was a business opportunity in the city that Belfort could not bear to miss out on despite his wife’s protests.

Some sources claim that in reality, the passengers were simply eager to hit the golf course at Sardinia the next morning. They refused to pay heed to the captain’s warning and asked him to go through the storm, which eventually led to the famous Jordan Belfort yacht sinking incident. Therefore, unfortunately, if someone wants to have a yacht rental in Dubai or any other destination, they have missed their chance with this yacht.

Interesting insights on the sinking as portrayed in the movie

The movie captures the fear and stress that each passenger felt when the yacht got caught up in the 70-knot storm. There is some hilarity when Belfort starts yelling for his drugs to avoid the horror of dying sober.

Several rescue attempts were made, but due to rising risks, each of them was called off. By some twist of luck, the yacht’s engine room remained mostly undamaged for a while, because of which they were able to make their way through the sea.

In the end, everyone survived the incident without any major injuries. At dawn, the Nadine made its way 1000m under the water only 20 miles away from Sardinia’s coast. Now, the movie’s audience gets to watch the Jordan Belfort yacht story unfold on the screen with a pinch of humor.

The Nadine’s captain Mark Elliot’s heroic actions did not go unnoticed. He was praised for leading all the passengers to safety, though he was able to get out of the yacht only 10 minutes before it sank. The captain also admitted that the insurance was granted immediately considering the ferocity of the storm. As for the yacht, many still wonder about the highly expensive equipment that had to be thrown into the water and is probably rusting away at the bottom of the sea.

The best features of the Jordan Belfort yacht Nadine

The 167 ft Nadine, as its former passengers claim, was a beautiful yacht. When owned by Coco Chanel under the name Matilda, the yacht had five staterooms, large dining areas, and a helipad. The interiors were furnished with dark teak paneling. Each new owner customized the yacht’s name and interiors based on their tastes.

Belfort decorated the Nadine lavishly with a variety of mirrors and set a vintage deco theme. He renovated the upper deck to fit a crane that was able to stow his Turbine Seawind seaplane. The yacht carried the best dive gear available in the market plus a variety of Belfort’s ‘toys’ such as his motorbikes and jetskis.

Which model was portrayed as the Jordan Belfort yacht Nadine in the movie?

Martin Scorsese got the yacht Lady M to represent Nadine onscreen. While Nadine actually had a luxuriously vintage charm to it, Lady M is a modern vessel with contemporary features. Lady M was manufactured in 2022 by Intermarine Savannah, while Nadine was built in 1961 by Witsen & Wis.

From ‘Wolf’ to Sheepish Clothing

By Alex Williams

• Dec. 24, 2013

In Martin Scorsese’s new film, “The Wolf of Wall Street,” it is not hard to tell when Jordan Belfort, the high-finance hustler of the 1990s, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, has officially made it on Wall Street: His suits go from billowy, double-breasted, off-the-rack numbers to lordly pinstripes, complete with a chunky gold Rolex watch, Gucci loafers and a giant red silk tie.

Ah, for the days when greed was good.

Throughout the go-go “Wolf” years on Wall Street, the Gordon Gekko definition of a power suit — think blue pinstripes, shoulder pads, wide lapels and a red or yellow power tie — held a particular grip on the psyche of young men like Mr. Belfort (those who shared his ambition, anyway, if not his contempt for the law).

Caught up in the testosterone-soaked frenzy of a bull market, would-be masters of the universe found that the power suit not only provided the psychological armor it took to survive the trading trenches, but signaled, through its sheer gangster-ish cockiness, one’s intention to scrape his way to the top by any means necessary. (Yes, this was a boys’ club.)

Today, the Dow is once again soaring. But on a more sober, post-financial-crisis Wall Street, bankers and clothiers said, the dress code for men has steered away from Gekko-style displays of conspicuous sartorial consumption.

Sure, among bonus babies, there is always room in the closet for a $6,000 bespoke suit, or 10 of them. But anyone showing up on the trading floor in suspenders and a contrast-collar shirt better be old enough to remember Drexel, or off to a 1980s theme party after trading closes.

“The power suit is over,” said Euan Rellie, a New York investment banker with deep ties to the style crowd (he is married to the fashion editor Lucy Sykes, the twin sister of Vogue’s Plum Sykes). “Less is more today. Finance is less brash, and so are its clothes.”

We are a long way from Mr. Belfort’s day, when the broad-shouldered power suit, along with the Lamborghini and the Charles Gwathmey-inspired beach house, advertised extreme wealth.

“When you have someone who is incredibly successful and has no time to devote to polishing his style, you end up with the 1980s,” said Sebastian Tatano-Ramirez, creative director at Alexander Nash , a maker of bespoke suits with a large Wall Street clientele. “Nowadays, it seems that successful men have finally understood what ‘stylish’ actually means.”

The contemporary equivalent of the power suit, for those who still wear suits on the Street, tends to be sleeker and more subdued, Mr. Tatano-Ramirez said. In place of pinstripes is often a trimmer-fitting ensemble in solid blue or gray, or perhaps glen plaid, with narrower lapels and softer shoulders. It may be offset by a narrower tie of a more subdued color, perhaps even (gasp) wool instead of silk.

While such a latter-day power suit can still command power prices (a top-of-the-line bespoke suit from Alexander Nash costs $8,000), the status cues are subtle, Mr. Tatano-Ramirez said, invisible except to those who are versed in the codes: super 120 wool, if not super 150; working buttonholes on the sleeves, perhaps with the final one stitched, rakishly, in a different color; side tabs instead of belt loops (a suit that truly fits requires no $300 belt to hold up the trousers); a playful lining in, say, electric-blue paisley.

“Any external sign of wealth in how Wall Street dresses has been replaced with a desire to look average or normal,” said Gregory Lellouche, a former senior investment banker at UBS who now runs a men’s clothing and accessories website, No Man Walks Alone . “You see very few ‘banker stripe’ suits on Wall Street these days, except on the oldest gents. No Prince of Wales or windowpane suits, no Gordon Gekko contrasting-collar shirts.”

If today’s power suit makes a quieter statement, it is because its role has evolved considerably since the ’80s.

For a glimpse of how it once was, consider the early scenes of “Wolf,” which are set in the days before the 1987 crash and were exhaustively researched for period accuracy, said Sandy Powell, the film’s costume designer. The young Mr. Belfort, a working-class wannabe from Queens, shows up as a junior equity salesman at an august Wall Street bank and finds more pinstripes and navy blue than the New York Yankees clubhouse. At the height of the ’80s boom (and, to a large extent, the ’90s boom that followed), bankers and traders morphed into cultural icons, so they adopted a showy gentleman-fop style that befitted their new status: French cuffs with shimmering cuff links; suspenders in bold statement patterns, like a skull-and-crossbones motif. “It wasn’t about fashion,” Ms. Powell said. “It was about showing your money on your back.”

The dot-com era of the ’90s swept all that away. In an effort to meet the khaki-clad Internet zillionaires on neutral sartorial ground, even institutions like J. P. Morgan and Morgan Stanley did away with the suit and adopted business-casual dress codes , a shift that was well documented by the fashion and business media. Cut loose of their stylistic moorings, bankers often defaulted to khakis and blue polo shirts, a look that was quickly derided as the “Blockbuster uniform.”

Like Pets.com, Wall Street casual got a lot of ink but had no prayer of surviving the bursting bubble of 2000. With the easy money gone, many bankers reverted to formal attire — at least, many bankers in so-called client-facing roles, like investment banking and mergers and acquisitions. (Men in sales and trading can often wear the casual slacks and button-down look that took hold in hedge-fund culture.)

The Gekko look took another body blow during the financial crisis of 2008 and, several years later, from Occupy Wall Street, several bankers said. Suddenly, it seemed either tasteless or personally hazardous to walk around in an outfit that shouted “1 percent.” It is no wonder that Wall Street peacocks have learned to dial back on anything that smacks of capitalist dandyism.

“I haven’t worn a pocket square in years,” said one investment banker, 40, who spoke anonymously because of his employer’s policies against workers’ speaking with the news media. “After the financial crisis, the people who are really stylish want to tone it down. Even if they’re wearing the same suits, they wear simpler shirts, simpler ties. People are making adjustments. I’m not wearing a pocket square, another guy is not wearing French cuffs.”

This is not to say that style is dead on Wall Street. Quite the contrary: The shift has allowed a new generation of Wall Street men to explore new frontiers of patterns and cuts.

“When people are going into meetings, there’s a flexibility to dress more like you’re seeing in the rest of the world,” said Paul Trible, chief executive and designer at Ledbury , an online clothier in Richmond, Va., whose downtown-inflected shirts and ties are trendy among young men on Wall Street. “The casual aspect you see in industries like media and advertising is starting to seep into finance.”

That means slimmer, more form-flattering suits, like the J. Crew Ludlow suit . It also means thinner ties; socks with more color or personality; and, particularly for those who do not have to wear ties, shirts with spread collars in fabrics borrowed from the “heritage hip” look, including, Mr. Trible said, gingham, Tattersall check and chambray.

“At the junior ranks, you see J. Crew and Theory,” said an investment banker in his 30s, who also spoke anonymously because of his employer’s policies against talking to the media. “In the last 18 months, I’ve seen first-year analysts showing up in wool ties and making it work.”

In the end, the goal is a look that does not scream “banker,” but whispers it. “The proper tone today is an elegance that doesn’t try too hard,” Mr. Rellie said. “Wall Street doesn’t want to show off anymore, because no one is listening.”

The Wolf of Wall Street: Naomi’s Clothes, Outfits, Style, and Looks

Martin Scorcese never betrays the trust of his fans! In 2013, he stayed true to his high-class directing techniques while capturing the tacky, vulgar lifestyle of Jordan Belfort, “the wolf of wall street”. Today we skip the talk about the protagonist, and we focus on his partner Naomi Lapaglia (played by Margot Robbie) and her best Wolf of Wall Street outfits.

Naomi Lapaglia is Belfort’s romantic partner in The Wolf of Wall Street , and her character was inspired by Nadine Caridi, the real-life second wife of Jordan Belfort. Belfort was a stockbroker and, sadly, a criminal who scammed people with the goal of creating his own fortune. He was imprisoned for just a few years, and still lives in secrecy.

We have to begin our fashion analysis with the statement Margot Robbie Wolf of Wall Street pink dress. The alluring, figure-hugging dress has not only made Belfort fall in love with the blonde beauty, but it also captured many female hearts around the world. Although there are no exact dupes right now, you can often find similar dresses on Missguided.

Every Margot Robbie Wolf of Wall Street outfit remains a staple in many feminine closets. Naomi’s famous “maneater” pink pumps have become a symbol of female dominance, feminine control, and subtle power. Many say she was the only person who could tell Jordan Belfort what to do, but it didn’t stop the couple from fighting and separating.

Naomi always wore luxurious pieces, and most of them are vintage nowadays. Gianni Versace designed her famous 1990’s sunglasses, which she wore with lots of style and grace. Your best bet to find them is definitely eBay, so make sure to be quick and swift with your choices – there are not many of them left out there, but there are a few colors.

If you were captivated by the Naomi Belfort blue dress with an abstract print, you’re definitely not the only one. Paired with dazzling jewelry, this figure-hugging dress is a true summer hit – at least that’s what all the brokers thought while they stared at beautiful Naomi. The dress is currently unavailable, but it has been mimicked by many creators.

Back in the days of the Wall Street crash, also known as Black Monday, and vintage Lamborghinis, satin was really a great choice for those who wanted a more luxurious look. Naomi (often a synonym for Margot Robbie) always pairs her eye-catching clothes with simple jewelry, and she never fails to show a little bit of intriguing cleavage. Below is another silk blouse in various colors..

Naomi reveals that she goes by the Duchess of Bay Ridge , and talks about her parents and her roots. She decided to wear a simple black outfit with some statement black, heart earrings. Isn’t the look just captivating? We don’t blame Jordan Belfort (here more about his outfit ) for wanting to marry this European beauty right away.

Margot Robbie represents a fantasy Belfort wanted to have only for himself, and in her white, cheeky lingerie, we see why. The Wolf of Wall Street, Paramount Pictures .

The only thing more important than a little black dress is the little, lacy lingerie set every woman has to have. Naomi was a heartbreaker with a stunning figure, so this feminine look fits her very, very well. While many compare her to Aphrodite, it’s surely the symbolism of the color white, the youthful look, and the modest, girly jewelry that shows her transformation from a simple woman to what many would call a calculated partner in crime.

Although there are many Wolf of Wall Street outfits that we might want to look into while we watch the movie, the one’s that stand out are worn by the stunning Margot Robbie. It’s hard to concentrate on the plot and the criminal plan behind this house of cards while the blonde beauty shows off her beautiful, feminine, luxurious fashion choices. If you want to channel Naomi’s style, make sure to go for graceful, but not-so-modest clothes, and lavish accessories.
