Top 25 memorable movie looks.

Cinematic styles that are as memorable as the films themselves From Scarlett O'Hara's gown
made of curtains to Andie's homespun prom dress in Pretty in Pink, some cinematic styles
are as memorable as the films themselves. Here, the top 25 movie looks that have inspired
the runways -- and your closet.

Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara 
Gone With the Wind (1939): Amazingly, Scarlett
managed to make drapery look chic. 

The Philadelphia Story (1940): Tracy (and Hepburn)
suddenly made pants stylish for women 

Casablanca (1942): Bergman's Ilsa blended ladylike
 separates with menswear-inspired tailoring. 

To Catch a Thief (1955): As Frances, Kelly
secured her place as one of Hitchcock's most glamorous heroines. 

The Seven Year Itch (1955): More provocative than Monroe's
iconic dress? The see-through panties she was
apparently wearing beneath it.

Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961): Hepburn's Holly
 put the LBD on the style map forevermore.

Dr. No (1962): Honey Ryder — and her ubiquitous
 bikini — became the ultimate in Bond girl style. 

Cleopatra (1963): Taylor's dazzling Cleopatra
ensembles created a craze for Egyptian-inspired fashions. 

Bonnie and Clyde (1967): The beret never looked
 so chic. Faye Dunaway as Bonnie Parker 

Love Story (1970): Jennifer's bohemian-meets-
prep look ruled the rest of the decade. 

The Way We Were (1973): Salons across the
nation owe Katie a debt of gratitude for making long,
 impeccably manicured nails a style staple. 

Barbra Streisand as Katie Morosky 

Grey Gardens (1975): To this day people are
still obsessed — and inspired — by Little Edie's
eccentric pairings of swimwear, fur, and head
scarves. 
Edith "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale as Herself 

Annie Hall (1977): If Katharine Hepburn started
 the menswear craze, Keaton took it to the
 next level as the quirky Annie. 

Diane Keaton as Annie Hall 

Xanadu (1980): The "fashion muse of the future"
 look was glitz, glam, and not just a little eclectic. 

Olivia Newton-John as Kira 

Blade Runner (1982): Is that Pris, or a model
from a recent fashion spread? Her futuristic,
avant garde punk look still holds up as modern,
if not exactly wearable. 
Daryl Hannah as Pris 

Scarface (1983): Elvira may have been tragic,
 but her glam disco goddess style was anything but. 

Michelle Pfeiffer as Elvira Hancock 

Flashdance (1983): Hey, American Apparel.
Alex Owens called, and she wants her look back. 

Jennifer Beals as Alex Owens 

Desperately Seeking Susan (1985): The multiple
necklaces, hair bows, and lace gloves became
an instant craze. 
Madonna as Susan 

 Pretty in Pink (1986): Aspiring fashion designer
 Andie changed the perception that redheads
shouldn't wear pink. 
Molly Ringwald as Andie Walsh 

Beetle Juice (1988): Lydia's Goth-chic look was
 endlessly copied by angsty youth across the nation. 

Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz 

 Pulp Fiction (1994): Between her crisp white shirts
 and graphic bob, Thurman's Mia was an
exercise in cool minimalist style. 

Uma Thurman as Mia Wallace 

Clueless (1995): Teenage girls everywhere
drooled over Cher's Beverly Hills privileged
wardrobe and high-tech closet.
 
Alicia Silverstone as Cher Horowitz 

Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003): Out of all the tragically hip
looks to emerge from Tarantino's series, O-Ren's
 badass kimonos took the lead. 

Lucy Liu as O-Ren Ishii 

Marie Antoinette (2006): Literally a feast for the
eyes, Dunst's Marie was the ultimate fashion
 plate. 
Kirsten Dunst as Marie Antoinette 

Coco Before Chanel (2009): Everyone knows Chanel
 the label, but in this fashion film, the woman herself
shines in iconic suits and pearls. 
Audrey Tautou as Coco Chanel
