David Leveaux’ modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet might not have gotten the best reviews, but really, how many times can you recreate the most tragic love story ever written?

Fortunately, Orlando Bloom managed to steal our hearts as an edgy Romeo.

With the play still set in Verona, Bloom was styled as a motorcycle-riding James Dean-esque young man who wears ripped jeans, henleys, and hoodies and rocks several exotic necklaces at once.

He was hot. And then there’s that matter of him ferociously uttering lovesick poetry all throughout the play. If that doesn’t get you, we don’t know what will.

We were smitten by this organic, bad boy look for Romeo that we were inspired to find pieces for our own take on this look for the girls.

We found quite a treasure trove from Vince Camuto — from geometric matte rings to an inky horn pendant. It looks like we’ll be looking like Romeo fangirls while we bemoan the fate of the famous star-crossed lovers.
