Faye Dunaway in Thomas Crown Affair (1968)
I love both versions of the Thomas Crown Affair. But for sartorialism and elegance Faye Dunaway's iconic outfits and the way she carries them has to be in front. She has a way of making an entrance which you can't take your eyes off.
But it is not just the costumes but all the subtle details. Smoking with a cigarette holder, the headscarf in the car, the way she sits down so elegantly at the table at the outdoor restaurant.. Even the way she steps into the car backwards upon her arrival at the airport. She must have been to finishing school. Very, very classy. Like the saying goes "it's not the clothes but the way you wear them". You can have all the designer clothes in the world but if you don't know how to carry yourself it's wasted. The movie is the epitome of classy cool.

There are a few movies which I've seen in the last year that really stand out to me, costume wise (and are one's that I'd ideally be able to raid clothes from!). Roman Holiday is one of my all time favorite movies, I love the story, but I also love how Edith Head was able to transform Princess Ann with so few costume changes. A few other favorites include Clueless (the epitome of 90's fashion) and Atonement (I will love this film forever for it's exquisite period costumes and it's tragic storyline). And when I watched the 2009 film, Grey Gardens, I was not only bowled over by Drew and Jessica's phenomenal acting but the stunning wardrobe both women wore. Big and Little Edie were known for their unique style and I am so glad that the costume designer (Cat Thomas) was able to capture it in this film adaptation.
