I loveeee that coat. Love the matching orange tones in the hat wreath, earrings, and necklace.
This has a kind of eerie Victorian spell. The little girl is wearing fairy wings, though you can't see them clearly. I have the score from this scene on my Ipod - downright shiver-inducing.
Possibly my favorite. Oh, to own a cream coat. A faraway dream for the owner of 3-4 damaged sweaters.
The gloves!
Adding to the parallel between Clarissa and Virginia Woolf's life, Meryl Streep wears an almost identical coat with orange drop earrings. Not so crazy about Julianne Moore's clothes in the movie, so I'll leave them out (big florals, ugh).
LOVE this sweater worn by Claire Danes.
The costume designer here is Ann Roth, who is currently nearly 80 years old! and who started out with contemp (Midnight Cowboy!) but has lent her eye to mostly period fare as of late from The English Patient to Mamma Mia! and most recently, Julie and Julia. With some M. Night Shyamalan movies in the mix.
Roth has repeat credits with Meryl Streep, having dressed the grand woman in 11 movies now. Coincidence or power backing? In second place is Nicole Kidman, who she's worked with 4 times, all of them in the last decade.
Matt Damon's swimming trunks are a stroke of genius. 
Roth's inclination towards head wreaths (in The Hours, Miranda Richardson also wears a garden wreath at one point while playing with her sons), virgin-white dresses and pops of color. Though the trademark pink wig of Natalie Portman's Alice might not have been her idea originally - that kind of thing feels big enough to have been mentioned in the script.
