It probably isn’t the first place you would think of looking to for style inspiration, but the silver screen is jam packed with outfit ideas just screaming to be recreated. As there are so many films produced and released every year, the fashion within them is guaranteed to be constantly changing- and it is not just Hollywood dollars that can make
iconic items available.
Over the years there have been many trends that have emerged from movies; just think of the ‘Vote For Pedro’ T shirts that were all over Urban Outfitters after Napoleon Dynamite hit cinemas in 2004, or Swarovski’s ‘Alice In Wonderland’ range that was launched following Tim Burton’s remake of the Disney animated classic. Even if some of the designs you have seen in the cinema are unsuitable for an average night on the town, what’s to stop you donning something crazy for the next fancy dress event?
Classic Film Looks
Star Wars- It may be 33 years since the first film was released, but Princess Leia’s cinnamon bun hairstyle and provocatively draped white dress will stay firmly fixed in our memories.
A Clockwork Orange- Aside from widespread controversy, the on-screen adaptation of Anthony Burgess’ novel also resulted in a bizarre clothing creation- boxers over dungarees and only one false eyelash? Nowadays it would be called drunkenness!
Kill Bill- Tossing the famous black bob from Pulp Fiction to one side, who can forget when Uma Thurman sliced her way onto our screens in that yellow catsuit?
New Looks To Covet
Burlesque- it may not have smashed the box office records, but some of the outfits worn by Christina Aguilera in this Cabaret inspired musical were simply stunning. Think sequins, lace, corsets and hold- ups; everything about last year’s ‘underwear as outerwear’ trend, taken to the next level.
Black Swan- Natalie Portman looks set for a busy year, starting with this psychological thriller by the director of The Wrestler and Requiem for a Dream. Although there are some jumpy scenes, an abundance of elegant tutus and ballet shoes (and no shortage of pretty people!) take the edge off; in cinemas now.
Red Riding Hood- with capes fluttering aimlessly in and out of fashion for the past few years, if anything can ensure they stay alive, it is the retelling of this children’s favourite. Set for release in March this year, Amanda Seyfried plays the young girl warned to “stick to the path” in this darkened version of the classic fairytale.
