Hey! Style shares the very best trend movies for a critical dose of cinematic type inspo:
Clueless, 1994
This 90s retelling of Jane Austen’s Emma holds a particular place within the coronary heart of trend fanatics, myself included. From Cher’s genius digitised wardrobe (why is that this nonetheless not a factor?), and her endlessly cool tartan layering second, this movie is full of killer outfit inspo, and but, it is the sheer shirt over the Calvin Klein slip that does it for me. Perfection. Could you by no means stumble into some unhealthy lighting…
The Satan Wears Prada, 2006
No best-of trend movie checklist can be full with no point out of this bona fide noughties traditional. Meryl Streep offers the efficiency of a lifetime (she’s delivered a good few at this level) as acerbic editor Miranda Priestly, a playful caricature of trend magazine royalty Anna Wintour. Anne Hathaway‘s character Andy Sacchs will get the metamorphosis makeover therapy, and wears – the Chanel boots? Yeah, she does. Take that Emily Blunt.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s, 1961
Bringing Truman Capote’s traditional novella to life, this movie tells the story of the inimitable Holly Golightly, and presents a commentary on wealth and happiness. The wildly glamorous and enigmatic protagonist is performed by classic magnificence Audrey Hepburn who, in one of the crucial memorable on-screen trend moments of all time, sports activities a bit black gown created by Hubert de Givenchy.
Confessions of a Shopaholic, 2009
Starring Isla Fisher, this fashion-centric romcom is a complete pleasure when you want cheering up. Not fairly managing to practise what she preaches, shopaholic Rebecca unintentionally lands a job as a monetary columnist and finds herself in hassle when her splurgy previous catches up along with her.
Fairly Lady, 1990
Julia Roberts. If that does not persuade you, frankly what is going to? This traditional rags-to-riches romcom options so many trend victories, from Vivian’s shiny thigh-high boots and the OG Hunza G cut-out mini to the opera-worthy Marilyn Vance crimson robe and demure polo polka dots. I consider that is what they name two hours effectively spent…
Intercourse and the Metropolis, 2008
One phrase: divisive. However for true SATC stans (responsible as charged), it’s very watchable for the style alone. Large could have jilted Carrie on the altar – do not get me began – however you’d have thought that Vivienne Westwood bridal showstopper would have softened the blow a bit, proper? The precise movie is an acquired style, however the useless hen fascinator? Passes with flying colors.
Grease, 1978
For those who’re within the temper for a musical, Grease hits the spot each single time with out fail. Highlights embody: Rizzo’s bad-girl hourglass silhouette, Pink Women jackets and silver Magnificence College Dropout babydolls (a private fave), however clearly Sandy’s nature-defying disco pants – Olivia Newton-John needed to be sewn into them – trump the lot.
Soiled Dancing, 1987
Child carried a watermelon, and she or he additionally carried this whole movie. Not strictly true, Patrick Swayze as Johnny Citadel is reliably dreamy, however Jennifer Gray‘s costumes are critically first-rate. The balletic, frothy pink quantity from the long-lasting elevate scene will get all of the love, however I am nonetheless eternally obsessive about Child’s cropped white shirt and jorts second from the steamy rehearsal.
Cleopatra, 1963
Oh, to be a fly on the wall through the early days of ‘Le Scandale’, as Richard Burton so fondly dubbed it. Oh, certainly. No big-budget epic will ever correctly examine to Cleopatra, a challenge that noticed a staggering $194,800 allotted to Elizabeth Taylor‘s Queen of the Nile costumes. Designer Renié Conley rightly received the 1963 Academy Award for her distinctive work, which included sensual serpent motifs, larger-than-life headpieces and Midas-grade swathes of gold.
Bonnie and Clyde, 1967
This 1967 neo-noir crime movie options ravishing magnificence Faye Dunaway, and relaxation assured, the style doesn’t disappoint. Silk bandanas, editorial-worthy berets and Nineteen Thirties-inspired cuts all get a look-in, however that flicky bob? Discuss hair heaven.
