Here are some of the most iconic fashion moments from Hollywood

1. Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s

You mention style and the first person who pops up in your mind is Audrey Hepburn. Not many of us have forgotten her signature chair pose with a cigarette in her hand. But this moment remains carved in everybody’s head who watched Audrey Hepburn stepping out of a yellow taxi cab in the gorgeous Givenchy LBD. In fact, this look is credited for changing the notion of LBD. Audrey and Givenchy collaborated on the look and the effort is evident with the look on screen. Every Halloween you see hundreds of girls dressed like Audrey, and its possibly going to go on for decades to come.

2. Marilyn Monroe in The Misfits

As soon as you read or hear Marilyn Monroe, you are instantly reminded of Marilyn in that enchanting white floating dress with a red lipstick. But when it comes to iconic looks, nothing beats Monroe’s stunning embodiment of Levi’s jeans with white shirt tucked in. She was one of the first stars who rocked the jeans on screen. So now every time you rock the signature Levis mom fit blue jeans with a white shirt, you know who you have to thank for it.

3. Diane Keaton in Annie Hall

This iconic movie might be known for its superb performances but Keaton’s look in the movie something that people still can’t stop talking about. The movie gave a new direction to androgynous clothing. Decades later, the look is still copied and recreated, that is the kind of aura it displayed on screen. With waistcoats, ties, bow-ties and high-waist pants, the world witnessed a new definition of flamboyance.

4. Mia Farrow in The Great Gatsby

One thing that needed to be nailed perfectly while turning this master novel into a movie was the style quotient. The characters not only needed to look powerful but they also had to dress in a powerful and enigmatic way. Mia Farrow’s ethereal wardrobe in the 1974’s The Great Gatsby is a testimony to it. Every single costume evokes a dream like sequence and conveys the true essence of the novel perfectly. The movie won Oscar for Best Costume Design and all credit for that goes to Theoni V. Aldredge and Ralph Lauren.

5. Keira Knightley in Atonement
   

Whether you liked the movie or not, you just cannot forget that scene where Keira wore the most elegant emerald green gown ever. The silk embraces Keira in a way that the attire seems to compliment the beauty she holds. Designed by Jacqueline Durran, this costume has been voted as the most iconic costume of all times. The gorgeous dress and its precise cuts in the library scene made it simply iconic.

6. Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct

As stunning as the movie is, the white sheath dress made Sharon the badass women everyone loved. The design was sketched by costume designer Ellen Mirojnick. The modern audience then witnessed a character whose lines, looks and ensemble spelt power and commanded respect.
