Whether you are sitting down to watch the latest blockbuster or you are rewatching your favourite for the hundredth time, who doesn’t love a good movie? While most of us make our choice of movie based on cast, producer or plot, we have picked out some of the most famous films that also possess some of the best fashion choices. 

House of Gucci

If you need a movie full of designer fashion inspiration, look no further than the story of a world-renowned luxury Italian fashion house. The House of Gucci tells the story around the fight for control of the Gucci brand, and while the film received plaudits far and wide for its screenplay, it wouldn’t be a Gucci movie without a touch of Italian style.

Given that the cast includes Lady Gaga, Adam Driver, Al Pacino and Jared Leto, it’s no surprise that the stars of the movie were able to pull off the classic Italian looks of the 80s. In terms of style, the fashion on show is obviously high-end; tailored suits, stunning dresses and expensive jewellery all feature prominently throughout the movie.

The Devil Wears Prada

Ask any film critic for a great fashion movie and there is a strong chance that The Devil Wears Prada will be the first title to come out of their mouth. Not only does it showcase various inspirational looks, but it’s also regarded as one of the most iconic movies of all time.

Younger audiences may be a little unfamiliar with the title. If so, the film follows a budding fashion journalist making her way through the cutthroat industry. Although regarded as a fictional film, inspiration for the novel-come-movie stems from the author’s experience as assistant to the legendary Anna Wintour, most known for her role as Vogue magazine editor.

The looks seen throughout the film are classic, elegant and timeless. As the title suggests, it contains an array of high-end looks that are perfect if you are in need of some formal fashion inspiration that’ll leave you looking like the belle of your upcoming ball.

Wolf of Wall Street

Jordan Belfort (a.k.a. The Wolf of Wall Street) takes centre stage in the highly successful movie about his life as a frauding stockbroker. Played by Leonardo Di Caprio, the film follows Belfort throughout his time at Stratton Oakmont, Belfort’s company, which was used to profit out of an illegal pump and dump scheme.

The real-life Wolf of Wall Street racked up an estimated net worth of $200 million, so it’s no surprise to see Leonardo rocking high-end brands in the movie. In the office, he sports stylish, perfect-fitting suits, while items outside of work include everything from Ralph Lauren polos to TAG watches. Even Di Caprio’s men’s smart trainers excel in the form of his white Nike Cortez.

Breakfast At Tiffany’s

If you are looking for the most iconic fashion item to ever be featured in a movie, it could be argued that you’ll find it in the 60s classic, Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Those who have seen the movie (and even most who have not) will know exactly what we’re talking about. Of course, it’s Audrey Hepburn’s famous little black dress.

A big reason why the dress is deemed so iconic is largely due to its designer, none other than Hubert de Givenchy, founder of the famous Givenchy brand. If you’re in need of fashion inspiration with a 60s spin, you may want to treat yourself to a viewing of this legendary movie.

Grease

How could we not mention Grease? One of the most iconic musicals of all time, known for launching the careers of stars like John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. While it’s one of the best feel-good films ever produced, it is also great for a dose of 50s fashion. Younger viewers may be surprised to see that many of their favourite styles can be traced back decades.

The T-birds were known for their famous black leather jackets, while the female’s uniform featured customised, pink bomber jackets which have become as iconic as the movie itself.

Final Thoughts

We have tried to pick out movies that don’t just ooze style but also hold their own in terms of cast, screenplay and popularity. In fact, some of the movies mentioned above are among the most legendary films ever created. Together, they boast an impressive collection of awards.

If you are in the mood for a fashion-fueled movie marathon, we’d highly recommend going through the above films and admiring how fashion trends have evolved through the decades. You will also find that most trends originate from previous fashion cycles, so why not see them as giving yourself a head start on the styles that are about to make their way back into fashion?
