Charso Press: Cinema and film have always been associated with fashion, over time some of the most popular styles have been created through this medium and stylish men and women around the world have always been inspired by their favorite movie characters. However, there are some characters who stand above the rest and are forever remembered for their impeccable style on the silver screen, creating legends that will never fade away. We review 17 stylish characters in the history of cinema to enjoy their style.
1. Holly Golightly in the movie “Breakfast at Tiffany”
Holly Golightly’s black dress from the opening scene of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” is arguably the most famous dress in movie history. Audrey Hepburn became one of the cover style icons regardless of her role in the film, but the group dances she performed on the streets of New York City certainly helped her immortalize her.
2. Sher Horowitz in Clueless
Cher Horowitz was born for fashion. Even today, if you see a blonde woman wearing a yellow checkered set, it’s clear who she was inspired by. As a high school student, Cher’s character was much more fashionable than the adult characters in the film, wearing clothes from the world’s top brands such as Aaliyah, Calvin Klein, etc.
3. Miranda Priestly in the movie “The Devil Wears Prada”
It is well established that Miranda Priestly’s cover was inspired by British journalist and editor Anna Wintour. As a result, after seeing the film, it is Wintour who should be praised (albeit only in terms of the style of the cover, not her icy demeanor). Despite Miranda’s brutal treatment of her staff for not being able to fly over to her house during a storm to lecture her on the history of royal blue, there’s no denying that Miranda was stylish.
4. Andy Sachs in the movie “The Devil Wears Prada”
Andy Sachs learned a lot from his time on Runway, the biggest of which is how to dress. In a matter of months, Andy went from a fashion novice to a fashion veteran and a stylish movie star. Every single outfit of this character looks beautiful even today, including the Chanel boots.
5. Scarlett O’Hara in “Gone with the Wind”
Vivien Leigh was amazing as Scarlett O’Hara in Gone With The Wind. Her clothes exuded a southern belle vibe and she clearly knew how to accessorize her style. Whether it was a red belt on the waist of her white shirt or a glittering hat, Scarlett knew how to make her style stand out and was truly a fashion statement in her time.
6. Elle Woods in the movie “Legally Blonde”
In praising this character’s style, Elle Woods proved that just because most people in your profession dress according to a certain palette doesn’t mean you have to follow the same style. Her pink dress when appearing in court as a lawyer will forever remember her as a stylish movie character.
7. Vivian Ward in the movie “Beautiful Woman” (Vivian Ward)
Vivian Ward’s white and blue dress, red dress, blonde wig, clothes and accessories that make her a very well-dressed character will always remain among moviegoers. Vivian’s outfit wasn’t necessarily the most expensive outfit she could buy, but she had her own personal style, and despite her variety of outfits, she always stayed true to her own style.
8. Sabrina in the movie “Sabrina”
Certainly, when Audrey Hepburn plays a role, she can easily make that character one of the most stylish characters in movie history. But Sabrina had a style that you couldn’t ignore. Her stunning black and white dresses, adorable hats, white gloves, and subtle yet beautiful jewelry choices helped us understand Sabrina’s personality and made us wish we could raid her closet.
9. Jay Gatsby in the movie “The Great Gatsby”
There are many fashionable male characters like Jay Gatsby in the history of cinema. The character’s three-piece suits were extremely well-tailored and worn in colors that complemented their coloring. While the accessory that stood out the most in this character’s style was a coupe cocktail glass, Gatsby’s bow tie and handkerchiefs were equally attractive.
10. Lorelei Leigh in “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”
Lorelei Leigh’s character could still be recognized as one of the best dressed characters in the history of cinema, despite wearing a pink dress and gloves throughout the movie “Gentlemen Prefer Gentlemen”. But his orange dress and purple saree should also be added to his records so that there is no doubt about this character’s well-dressed style.
11. James Bond in “James Bond” movies
Another well-dressed man in the history of cinema is James Bond. No one has glamorized the spy character quite like this, and that’s all the more important when we see James Bond do it romantically in almost every film in the franchise. Of course, we all think shooting guns and chasing cars in a tuxedo is difficult, but Bond makes it look easy.
12. Jim Stark in “Rebel Without a Cause”
There are two famous red coats in the history of cinema, one belongs to Michael Jackson and the other to the character of Jim Stark in the movie “Rebellion Without a Cause”. James Dean’s famous cover in this movie proved that sometimes keeping the style simple is the best kind of cover.
13. Cruella Doyle in the movie “Cruella”
The feeling that the cover of Cruella Doyle’s character gave from the beginning of the film was great, but it got better with every scene of the presence of this memorable villain. When Cruella appeared on the stage wearing dresses with distinctive fabrics, unique patterns and meticulous attention to detail, her unique personality style was fully proven in addition to her good looks.
14. Deanna Jones in “Dreamgirls”
Dina Jones was the perfect embodiment of Dewey’s style, and her fashion range was as wide as her vocal range. This character also proved that you can wear exactly the same clothes as everyone else and still have your own personal style. Throughout the movie, it didn’t matter who Dina was in or with, she always stood out in the crowd.
15. Cleopatra in the movie “Cleopatra”
The real Cleopatra was certainly well-dressed, and if you’re wearing anything like what Elizabeth Taylor wore in the movie, she was probably a major fashion inspiration for the royals of her time. The character also knew how to accessorize the outfit to look stunning.
16. Thomas Crown in the movie “The Thomas Crown Affair”
Men can be considered well-dressed more easily than women. It’s true that there are fewer options for men’s clothing, but even that hasn’t stopped the Adam Sandlers of the world. Therefore, we should admire characters like Thomas Crown who were able to popularize fashion among men like this. This character definitely knew how to dress well.
17. Jacob Palmer in Crazy, Stupid, Love
Jacob Palmer’s character in the movie “Crazy, Stupid, Love” has such good style and knows it so well that he managed to turn even his friend Cal into a man of special clothes. It doesn’t matter whether the character is dressed casually or formally, she still looks like she was pulled straight off the runway.
