From iconic fashion moments to timeless style, you’re bound to find style inspiration in these films. Get your popcorn ready and turn out the lights, as here are some of the best films for fashion inspiration.
This list would not be complete without Clueless. This 1995 classic is perfect if you love 90s fashion trends. Cher and Dionne’s matching plaid outfits, mini-dresses paired with knee-length socks and Cher’s to-die-for walk-in wardrobe, Clueless is one of the most iconic fashion films out there. Cher introduces new student Tai to the luxurious world of Beverly Hills, dealing with friendships, broken hearts and or course, dressing to impress.
Based on the story of one of Anna Wintour’s assistant, Devil Wears Prada focuses on magazine editor Miranda Priestley hiring aspiring writer Andy as her assistant. As the film goes on, Andy’s wardrobe evolves into the wardrobe every girl dreams of, as she begins to wear everything from couture gowns to thigh high Chanel boots.
What’s better than a little black dress? This 1961 classic is most known for Audrey Hepburn’s black Givenchy dress, becoming one of the most well-known fashion scenes in film history. Whilst a romantic comedy, you’re bound to find style inspiration in Hepburn’s vintage wardrobe, full of perfectly tailored coats and embellished vintage dresses.

One of the most recent films on this list, Crazy Rich Asians is full to the brim with iconic fashion moments. Full of couture gowns, vintage looks and luxury fashion, I won’t blame you if you watch it more than once, or twice.
The all-female remake of Ocean’s Eleven is definitely not short of iconic style inspiration and celebrity guest appearances. Every character is always impeccably dressed, as they plan a jewellery heist at the Met Gala (one of the most fashionable events in the world).

Now I know dressing in 1920’s fashion isn’t on trend at the moment, but The Great Gatsby is one of the most stylish films ever made. Prada designed 40 dresses worn by the characters, and Tiffany & Co. created the diamond headpieces. There’s nothing wrong with looking at a few diamonds right?
