Ah, Hollywood—the glitz, the glamour, the clothes! Yes, movies are about acting, but when a star walks onscreen in a drop-dead outfit, all I can think is, “Wow, I gotta get me one of those!” These eleven films feature some of the best fashion moments in movie history.

Annie Hall

You can thank Diane Keaton for the menswear trend; button-down shirts, penny loafers, and ties all add to her androgynous sensuality. Woody found it irresistible—and most other men do, too.

Desperately Seeking Susan

The teased hair, exposed bra, rubber bracelets … every girl has dressed up like Madonna at some point. It’s fierce, it’s iconic, it’s La Madonna.

Pulp Fiction

Uma Thurman captured the minimalist trend of the 1990s. Calvin Klein and Donna Karan copied her sexy, pared-down style.

The Breakfast Club

Each of us is a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, and a criminal. Hmmm … can I just settle for Molly Ringwald’s totally rad outfit?

The Seven Year Itch

Marilyn once said, “All I wear to bed is Chanel No. 5.” Classy yet provocative, just like her iconic “wardrobe malfunction.”

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Audrey taught us a valuable lesson: nothing’s more powerful than the perfect little black dress. Add a few diamonds and pearls and the world is yours.

Atonement

Keira Knightley’s beautiful, but the emerald-green thirties-style dress she wears in this film steals her thunder. No matter how many times I watch that hot library scene, I always want to warn James McAvoy not to rip it!

Clueless

Cher Horowitz’s prized possession was her rotating closet, complete with an online archive of all her clothes. Not only is she sexy, but she’s organized, too. Wanna come over and give me a makeover?

Scarface

Being the wife of an infamous dealer has its downs, but what a fabulous wardrobe drug money buys! No one wants to mess with Elvira when she looks like she means business.
