Im too lazy to look up pictures but adding to what others have written --

Fred Astaire in Top Hat, White Tie and Tails -- the epitome of 1920/30s old world elegance

Elizabeth Taylor in Edith Head white dress in A PLace in the Sun -- supposedly every dept store copied that dress

Demi Moore in the black Versace dress in Indecent Proposal -- copied ad naseum for years afterwards

The backseams of Marilyn Monroe's stockings in SOME LIKE IT HOT

Ali McGraw's bloody stupid crochet hat in LOVE STORY <puke>

Audrey Hepburn in SABRINA -- the couture embroidered ballgown and the "Sabrina neckline"

Clueless -- colorful pop art like wardrobe in the era of grunge

Uma Thurman's Agnes B crisp white shirt and vamp nailpolish in PULP FICTION

James Dean's red jacket in REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE
