Read the books! If you haven't read the stories, now is the time. Have a highlighter handy or a pen and paper to note mentions of Bella's personal style, specific clothing pieces, and descriptions the occasional designer outfit thrust upon her by Alice.

Consider your hair. Bella has very long, dark hair that curls when it's wet. Depending on how much you want to look like her, you can grow your hair out, dye it dark, and curl it every day. If you can't grow dark, flowing locks, you can choose a natural and feminine hairstyle that requires little in the way of styling. You get bonus points if it's long enough to throw into a ponytail whenever the need arises.

Go easy on the makeup. Bella only wears makeup when forced to by Alice, and her skin is always described as "clear and flawless." Focus on making your skin the best it can be with the right cleanser and moisturizer. Try only doing a little lip gloss and blush, and skipping the heavy foundation and eye makeup.

For your wardrobe, look for casual pieces. Specific things you might want to look for are the deep blue blouse Bella wears to dinner with Edward, the long khaki skirt she wears to meet the Cullens for the first time, and the lacy dress and stiletto heels Alice makes Bella wear to prom. Bella is stunning when she gets dressed up because she normally doesn't make herself up and wear fancy clothes. The contrast between her normal self and her dressed-up self adds to how beautiful she looks.

Don't be afraid to be casual. During Edward's nighttime visits in Twilight, Bella wears old sweats and a t-shirt with holes. It's okay not to be dressed to the nines all the time, and someone who really cares about you will see your beauty no matter what you're wearing!

Tips & Warnings
Be yourself. Bella is always true to her own sense of style, except for the rare occasions when Alice dresses her.
Appreciate your flaws. Bella's lower lip is slightly too full; maybe you think your nose is too thin, but it actually looks elegant and aristocratic. Your flaws make you the unique person you are!
Don't become so obsessed with looking like Bella that you sacrifice your own sense of style. Maybe you're an Alice, or a Rosalie, or a Renee. Find your own style and express that, and just take a pointer here and there from Bella.
