Okay, besties, let’s talk about fashion and movies because, duh, two of the most important things in life! Planning a self-care Sunday with a face mask and iced latte? I can guarantee you these iconic films will change your perspective on outfits and make your next goal ‘shop till I drop’(or window shop at least). So, get your snacks, grab a cozy blanket, be prepared to give your wardrobe a whole new makeover (in case you get too inspired), and let’s dive into the top 10 iconic fashion movies of all time!
The Devil Wears Prada
This movie is practically fashion bible 101. If you haven’t heard Meryl Streep’s "That’s all" or witnessed her iconic side eye or seen Anne Hathaway’s massive glow-up from drab to fab, what are you even doing? It’s the movie that taught us two things: 1) Fashion is serious business, and 2) You need a killer coat collection for NYC winters, even if you live in Florida. The Devil Wears Prada is truly a love letter to the fashion industry.
Clueless
Not only has this movie inspired the “I’m just a girl” era but also created something so timeless and lively. Cher’s yellow plaid outfit is still so iconic, and the rotating closet? It’s what dreams are made of. The "Oops! My bad" attitude while casually serving looks in the halls of her high school? A whole mood. If you’re not immediately inspired to add more yellow plaid to your wardrobe after watching this, I don’t know what to tell you.
A Simple Favour
She came, she saw, she conquered. That’s Blake Lively ladies and gentlemen. In this movie, Blake Lively is totally serving straight-up boss babe, wearing suits that make you question why we don’t wear tuxedos 24/7. And Anna Kendrick’s character is all of us trying (and failing) to copy Blake’s flawless style. Don’t worry Anna, you’re not alone in this. Nobody can copy the queen.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s
Audrey Hepburn + that little black dress = chef’s kiss. If you wanna fulfill your desire to live the French dream, enjoying a croissant and hot chocolate on a sunny afternoon in Paris, go buy your tickets but first watch this movie as it’s basically an informal guide to classy fashion. It’s the time from where "I wanna wear a tiara to brunch" and sophisticated aesthetic actually started. The fashion throughout the film is pure 60s glam that redefined elegance. This movie invented the whole "I woke up like this" look long before it was a hashtag.
The Great Gatsby
Nothing screams glamour quite like the roaring 20s. The sparkling gowns, the tailored suits, the extra everything, we all are here for it! Watching this movie is basically an excuse to daydream about throwing a Gatsby-themed party where everyone dresses like they walked straight out of a glittery time machine.
Confessions of a Shopaholic
If you’ve ever been tempted to max out your credit card on a pair of shoes (or, you know, 10 pairs), then you would love to meet Rebecca Bloomwood, a girl with a serious shopping addiction, and her closet is honestly every girl’s dream. It's light-hearted, funny, and full of fabulous outfits that’ll make you want to rethink your wardrobe immediately.
Marie Antoinette
Our inner child will thank us for watching this movie as I’m sure as little girls we played having elegant tea parties with long gowns inviting all our friends. Similarly, Sofia Coppola’s take on Marie Antoinette is like a pastel-coloured dream. The costumes are extravagant, with poofy gowns, towering wigs, and shoes that are so extra. It’s historical fashion meets modern vibes. So, if you want to recreate your Renaissance princess dream, sip on that hot tea and watch Marie Antoinette like the Lady you are!
The Bling Ring
Our favourite little sweet Hermoine Granger from Harry Potter gone bad? Yes, please I’m in! A group of teens who are so obsessed with celebrity fashion that they think, "Why not just break into Paris Hilton’s house and take her stuff?" Emma Watson leads the pack as a super bratty, fashion-obsessed teen who’s all about flexing on Instagram before it was even a thing. You’re basically watching them live every fashionista's fantasy, minus the whole “this is definitely illegal” thing. And can we talk about the fashion inspo? It’s high glam meets rebellious teen, with oversized sunglasses, sky-high heels, and the kind of handbags you’d need to sell a kidney for.
Pretty Woman
A Cinderella story, but make it fashion. Julia Roberts’ character goes from streetwear to couture really quickly in this movie. Her red gown and white opera gloves are pure Hollywood glam, but the real star is that iconic brown polka dot dress she wears at the polo match. Classic, timeless, and totally chic. This movie is all about transformation, and it’s proof that the right wardrobe can change everything.
Crazy Rich Asians
This movie isn’t just about crazy rich people, it’s about crazy rich people with insane fashion sense. Every scene in this movie feels like a visual feast, from the luxurious jewelry to the jaw-dropping gowns. The wedding scene? A literal dream, where the bride walks down the aisle in a gown that looks like it costs more than a house. If you want glam, excess, and jaw-dropping style moments, Crazy Rich Asians is your fashion paradise.
If you’re a fashion girlie who hasn’t watched these, it’s time to re-evaluate. Whether you're into 90s plaid, high-end NYC drama, or the art of the tuxedo, these movies are the perfect combo of glam, inspo, and just a bit of humor. Time to pop some popcorn and have a fashion movie marathon!
