11 Iconic Film Looks

By Minq Team

Films usually take whatever is in style at the moment and use it in the costume design. But these 11 film looks were so iconic and timless that they actaully inspired fashion. See how many of these styles you recogize.

The Seven Year Itch

Marilyn Monroe is the biggest fashion icon, but she owes her most iconic look, the halter neck white dress, to “The Seven Year Itch.” Her whole look, the dress, the hair, and the makeup has inspired countless designers, collections, and women as they remember the always sexy, but classic Marilyn look.

Gone With The Wind

For the time period, “Gone With The Wind” had the most extravagant and drool-worthy wardrobe, consisting of over 5,000 originals costume items. Scarlett’s ability to always look elegant despite her many hardships inspired the fashion world as well as women everywhere. Her southern belle look is still sought over today, particularly by blushing brides.

Annie Hall

This beloved movie inspired the menswear trend with Diane Keaton’s vintage ties, baggy trousers, and straw fedoras. After the film’s release, the style quickly became a trend that has managed to stay chic. Did you know most of the pieces worn in the film actually came from Diane’s own closet?

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Audrey Hepburn will forever be a fashion icon. She made a name for herself in the fashion industry with her film, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” Every woman dreamed of having Holly Golightly’s elegant style. Hepburn popularized the always-classy LBD with her chic up-do and string of pearls.

Cleopatra

Elizabeth Taylor is a fashion icon all by herself, but her claim to fame was her striking style in the timeless film, “Cleopatra.” The film didn’t just inspire Grecian goddess fashion, but also accessories and makeup. Alexander McQueen made waves with his Autumn/Winter 2007 collection. All of his runway models were sporting vibrant blue eye shadow with thick black liner that was without doubt Taylor-inspired.

Now, Voyager

This old film has one of the most famous film makeovers of all time, featuring Charlotte Vale, played by Bette Davis. Not only did Charlotte have a rocking wardrobe but also spectacular shoes. Shoe designer, Manolo Blahnik loved her cruise ship transformation scene so much that he created a whole line inspired by Charlotte’s shoes.

Bonnie and Clyde

While most people do not envy Bonnie’s life choices, they do envy her wardrobe. Robbing banks has never looked so stylish. Although the film was set in the 1930’s, her style had a 70’s feel to it with the knits, tweed, and berets. Fashion model, Kate Moss, has named “Bonnie and Clyde” as her favorite movie and we can definitely see the Bonnie inspiration in her style.

Clueless

Cher Horowitz was the most enviable character of the 90’s. Every girl dreamed of having a closet like hers with a computerized outfit maker and rotating racks of color coordinated clothes. Her matching suits, knee high socks, and crazy amounts of plaid stands as an icon of 90’s fashion.

The Great Gatsby

The 1974 film took the 20’s flapper style to a whole new level, winning and Oscar for Best Costume Design. Daisy’s almost exclusively white wardrobe was full of loose, flowing dresses, strands of pearls, and beautiful hats. The Jazz Age has continued to appear and reappear in designer collections.

Pretty Woman

Julia Roberts played the quirky prostitute turned classy glamazon in this beloved film. Roberts created quite the stir in the fashion industry with her polo match ensemble; the brown polka doted dress, with the matching gloves and hat. She even admitted to keeping the famous dress to keep an eye on her figure and can still fit into it!

Grease

Olivia Newton John’s transformation from goody-two-shoes Sandy to sexy bold Sandy is one of the greatest film transformations. Her good girl style of full skirts and fitted sweaters was dramatically replaced with killer red pumps and a rockin’ skin tight black outfit.
