About Nancy Drew Movie (2007) :

Nancy Drew (Emma Roberts) and her widower father, Carson Drew (Tate Donovan), move from River Heights for a few months and rent a house in California, where Carson has a temporary job. Nancy chose their California house because it was the home of Dehlia Draycott, a murdered movie star based on Natalie Wood whose case has never been solved. Despite the mystery, Nancy's father has forbidden her from further sleuthing and encourages her to focus on high school and being normal. Nancy struggles to fit in at her new school, only befriending a younger boy, Corky (Josh Flitter). She realizes that the sleuthing world is the only place she fits in and decides to solve the Draycott mystery. In the Draycott mansion, she discovers a letter that Draycott wrote to an unknown "Z," who was supposedly Draycott's love interest. From photographs of Draycott before her death, she figures out that just before her death, Draycott had a child and gave it up for adoption in privacy. She learns that the child, Jane Brighton (Rachael Leigh Cook), is the sole beneficiary of Draycott's will, which has disappeared. Nancy receives a threatening phone call telling her to get off the case, and contacts her father's business associate, Dashiel Biedermeyer (Barry Bostwick), the lawyer of the Draycott estate, to assist her with the case. Nancy tries to fit in with the text messaging mean teens (Daniella Monet and Kelly Vitz).

Meanwhile, as an early birthday present, Nancy's father presents her with the blue Nash Metropolitan convertible she left back at home in River Heights. Along with her roadster comes her long-time crush/guy friend, Ned (Max Thieriot). Ned understands her persistence in sleuthing and finds himself assisting Nancy with the Draycott mystery. Corky becomes jealous of Nancy and Ned's close relationship and tries his best to get Nancy's attention. At one point, a bomb is left in Nancy's roadster. Nancy manages to remove it and though she is knocked unconscious in the blast, she soon comes to. The trio spend numerous hours together, discovering an underground passageway to a neighbor's basement, which is rented by Leshing (Marshall Bell), the groundskeeper to the Draycott estate.

One afternoon, a tearful Jane arrives on Nancy's doorstep and announces that her daughter has been taken away from her on false charges of child endangerment. She reveals that after Nancy's initial visit, a man showed up on her doorstep to threaten her. Nancy demands that her father take up Jane's case. He agrees as Jane stays with them. While watching a Dehlia Draycott film, Nancy realizes that Draycott must have hidden her revised will in a prop from one of her movies. She tracks the will to a Chinese antique shop, but just after retrieving it, Nancy is chloroformed into unconsciousness and kidnapped by the villain's henchmen. Naturally, Nancy escapes, but gets into a car crash and must go to the emergency room. Her father, along with Biedermeyer, arrives and demands to know what is going on. She admits to her secret sleuthing and explains about Draycott's hidden will. Biedermeyer offers them a ride home so he can sign a business deal with Mr. Drew. Nancy discovers that Biedermeyer is the one who was disinherited by Dehlia's will (signing his papers with a large "Z" as his middle name is Zachary), concludes that he is Dehlia Draycott's supposed love. However, when he questions Nancy about the will, she manages to jump out of the moving car, leaving her father with Biedermeyer and his men. Nancy manages to make it all the way home and is caught by Biedermeyer who threatens to "squeeze the will out of her." Nancy asks him why he killed Dehlia and he replies that Dehlia went a bit crazy after her reappearance, that Jane is not his daughter, but Leshing's, and demands the will. Nancy kicks Biedermeyer in the shin and escapes, but is once again cornered by Biedermeyer and his henchmen. Leshing arrives via the secret passageway and knocks the henchmen unconscious and Nancy reveals that she secretly recorded what Biedermeyer told her. While police arrive at the house and arrest Biedermeyer, Nancy tells Leshing he's Jane's father and he tells Jane and she hugs him for the first time of her life. The will is restored to its rightful owner. Jane is able to get back her daughter and converts the Draycott mansion into a home for single mothers as the Drews return to River Heights.
As Nancy watches a video sent by Jane and her new Draycott Home for Single Mothers, she is a bit sad that the mystery is over. She goes outside to see Ned repairing her car. They talk and they both lean in for a kiss. Right after Nancy and Ned kiss, her father tells her that she has a long distance phone call for a new mystery in Scotland. She is just as cheerful as ever as she runs back into their River Heights home.

About Nancy Drew Fashion "Preppy Style"

How to Look Like Nancy Drew 


One of the best-loved sleuths in literature is Nancy Drew, that intrepid young detective who is compelled to solve every crime. Brought to life in a 2007 movie, Nancy Drew has shown teens and tweens a "new sincerity" when it comes to fashion, and it's a look that's timeless. Whether you pick up clues from the movie or the many books penned by Carolyn Keene, you'll love Nancy's style.

Intructions :
  • Check out the illustrations in the books and on the covers and see how Nancy's look has evolved. In the 1930s-era "Secret of the Old Clock", she was shown with a bob hairstyle, a flared skirt, jacket and cloche hat. The 1950s saw the introduction of matching accessories, while the 1970s saw poor Nancy in polyester pantsuits.
  • View the 2007 movie "Nancy Drew," and see how fashion designer Jeffrey Kurland updated Nancy Drew for the times. Actress Emma Roberts portrays the daring sleuth, and we see her still solving crimes in these current times, but now decked in a preppy look with a short peacoat, Peter Pan-collared blouses, capri pants, knee socks and the ever-present plaid accessories.
  • Take a cue from Nancy's statement, "I like old-fashioned things." If it's vintage, tailored and in good condition, it's Nancy Drew style. She would never choose anything too constrictive, just in case she has to leap over a wall to chase after a burglary suspect. Nancy Drew is always fashionable, but always practical as well.
  • Don't forget that Nancy Drew always puts her best foot forward. Nancy would never wear tottery heels just in case she had to suddenly climb down a fire escape. She generally would wear flats, low heels or moccasins when reviewing the evidence in her bedroom.
  • Remember that Nancy Drew always dresses in good taste. If it's tight or tawdry, it doesn't belong in Nancy's closet. With that said, Nancy is always confident of her appearance and knows how to impress the boys (her poor beau Ned Nickerson is constantly strung along).
