If you’ve only just discovered Yellowstone now that it’s streaming on Netflix, welcome to the club - you’re officially in your "Yellowstone Era." Don’t worry, we’ve all been there. I remember when I first started: within a week, I was looking up Montana real estate and wondering where all the handsome cowboys were hiding.
My obsession shifted towards the final season to the scenery and the wardrobe. Specifically, I had an overwhelming urge to dress exactly like the incomparable Beth Dutton (played by the legendary Kelly Reilly).
A little disclaimer though, I can’t guarantee you’ll find your Rip with any of these purchases but it’s worth a try.
Johnetta Boone was the costume designer for the Paramount Network's Yellowstone, and she worked closely with show creator Taylor Sheridan to get every detail right. Opting for American heritage brands like Levi’s and Wrangler but also delving into the world of vintage and with Beth, the cool trendy brands as well.

In an interview with ELLE US, Johnetta spoke about Beth's unique sense of style, saying: "Beth is well-traveled, yet it’s important we still show she’s from Montana. We show her softer side with prairie dresses and florals when she’s with Rip, but she also has a strong business style with European flair. Her looks are so strong with power in season five. She wears a lot of Alexander McQueen blazers, which give really great angles. People are often surprised at all the brands I use on the show—everything from Wrangler to Gucci to Vuitton."
Talking about the effect on the fashion world, Johnetta said: "Yellowstone has impacted the fashion world greatly. Western looks are showing up everywhere, from street style to the catwalk. You’ve got Western yokes showing up in boutiques, like the Frankie Shop in New York. On the streets of Manhattan, people who have never bought cowboy boots before are walking down the street wearing them creatively—with baggy jeans, cargo pants, and sweatpants. And people are investing in custom-made cowboy hats. It’s showing up everywhere."
Now, let's look at exactly what Beth wore in season five...
Beth Dutton's floral button-front dress on Yellowstone
On the series 5 episode titled Desire Is All You Need, we watched as a distressed Beth learned of her father's death. For this scene, we saw Beth wearing the Monica Dress in Fantasy by Réalisation Par.
Realisation Par is a very trendy brand, showing that she has her finger on the pulse, even though she's nowhere near the mall.
Sadly this dress has pretty much all sold out, but I've found the perfect lookalike if you're after the look, and for a similar price point. Let me introduce to you the Gap Lace-Trim V-Neck Crepe Maxi Dress which is so Beth. This Reformation v-neck dress also gives off similar vibes.
Accessorize wise, Beth wore a pair of earrings by Apres Ski. They're inexpensive, but have sadly sold out - the Beth effect, perhaps?
During the episode titled The Apocalypse of Change, Beth surprises Rip while he's at work, and she's wearing a blue patchwork print tank top by the super cool brand Favorite Daughter. For those who don't know, this is the brand created by Erin and Sara Foster (Erin is the one who created Nobody Wants This for Netflix).
How gorgeous did Beth look on her chic little getaway with Rip during the episode titled The Apocalypse Of Change. I loved this part, watching Beth and Rip dance in the bar, with only eyes for each other.
For this look, Beth was styled in a DÔEN dress but the new version online right now is so spot on. At $500, it's not designer, but it's a very of-the-moment fashion brand, showing that once again Beth keeps one eye on Rip and the other on stylish fashion designers.
If you're looking for something similar, this Reformation dress would be a great place to start.
The black Veronica Beard 'Shara' dress was the perfect choice for Beth - it was definitely a Beth-style dress. Sadly, it's no longer available but look to Reformation for a similar style.
The black b&sh Gaspard cardigan is available to shop though, and this will look so nice with lots of pieces from your closet.
In the episode when Beth Dutton holds an auction to sell off her family's belongings, she's wearing the Jenni Kayne ivory 'Rove' dress which is now, as a result, a best seller. She looked amazing in the dress, and if you're looking for something a little more formal, how about the Aritzia dress or this Rihoas dress? Both so elegant.
Beth Dutton's brown paisley sleeveless Doen dress has sadly sold out, but I've found this chic Doen midi dress that has similar Beth vibes - and it's stunning.
There are fashion icons, and then there are women whose style never really leaves the conversation. Carolyn Bessette firmly falls into the latter category.
