Movies\TV shows that inspired you to dress

I'm not a fan of Robin Givens, but her costumes in the movie "Boomerang" were very pretty.  If I have $ to get custom-made clothing, these would top my list:








And Bridget Fonda in Single White Female

ETA: I just realized I posted this in the wrong board...oops. Hello, ML!

I don't know that I've ever been inspired to dress a certain way, mainly due to lack caring and lack of funds, but I think the clothes Anne Hathaway wears in The Devil Wears Prada are stunning. She has some fantastic outfits in that movie.

That's true!  I also loved her bangs in that movie.

I hate watch Being Mary Jane on BET, but Gabrielle Union's wardrobe is AMAZING!

[stato]

I would love to dress like Claire Underwood (House of Cards).

I'll also second (or third) Anne Hathaway in The Devil Wears Prada.

[lime]

I was super inspired by Clueless almost 20 years ago.

[Champagne Supernova]

Devil Wears Prada, hands down.

Clueless

Gossip Girl

[moreace01]

Devil Wears Prada
Priceless
Sabrina (Hepburn)
Pretty in Pink back in the day

[ProfessorArtNerd]

To loop around with another topic in this board- the Borgias, I want to dress like Lucrezia before I die.

And I love the costuming on GoT as well, in particular Sansa's clothes

[Deleted]

Mrs. Doubtfire

[eb777888]

I totally agree with Clueless. That left a big impression on me at 16, lol.

Probably dumb but I was also inspired by Jennifer Garner in 13 Going on 30. I wanted her wardrobe and her apartment. Both were fabulous.

Oh, also, Gweneth Paltrow in A Pefect Murder. Awesome wardrobe.

Like!  Very understated and classic.

Never heard of this show (I've no cable).  Her wardrobe looks good.

If I ever hit the big bucks, I would so get a portrait done with one of these classic outfits; and hang it in the library or something.

Mrs. Doubtfire

Not gonna lie, I do agree she wore this better.

[Dumbledork]

No Olivia Pope 

[jennysmitten]

YES to Claire Underwood. I have such a girl crush.

[BunnyMacDougal]

This makes me such a cliche, and I'm sure the whole thing was a stylistic stab at "purity" but I really dug it.  Monochrome, pastel, and an all white outfit.  I can still remember battling with my mom to wear two shades of white out of the house.  I never saw anyone do that til this movie...but then I did it!  lol @ myself.  I'm still a minimalist in the way that I dress.  And I've never looked back after discovering brown hairties. 

[Dumbledork]

I was too young, but I imagine SATC was a big influence during its time.

[bania]

Clueless

The Devil Wears Prada

Legally Blonde 1 and 2

I don't have the job for it, but I love how Alicia dresses in The Good Wife. If I had a professional type job I would love her wardrobe.

Very nice.  S/o, I also am jealous of all of the ladies' outfits in "Suits".  Most specially Gina Torres' character.

What's so dumb about wanting one of these?  I loved it.

Reruns from the 60s when women were so fabulously put together, and cocktails were free flowing.
For instance, I  (heart) Lisa from Green Acres, Jeannie when she's wearing regular clothes, Laura from The Dick van Dyke show (if I ever start wearing pants, they will be of the sleek cigarette sort), and many other 60s looks.

Buzzfeed actually has a great list of 60s icons and looks:
www.buzzfeed.com/summeranne/women-who-prove-style-peaked-in-the-60s

Can't argue with that.  Jackie O, Diana Ross, Audrey H, Brigitte B, and Candice Bergen, Racquel W, Mia F among my favorites.  But I'm surprised to not see Barbara Streisand on that list.

I also love white/light outfits, but they are def. hard to maintain. I had a handful of white sundresses that only lasted one summer.

[TemperanceBrennan]

I like how Lorelai dresses on Gilmore Girls and also how the women dress on Bones.

Yes, it was.  Not on my clothing choices, but I could see it in the stores.

[wambam]

I haven't felt this way since the Australian MK&A movie lol.

But I'm not fashionable one bit.
