Movies with great fashion!

[lostgirl]

My all-time favorite could be:

*Death in Venice (Visconti) ---Utterly and totally gorgeous. Actually, most Visconti movies are visual feasts through and through. (photos from Death in V, Gattopardo, and Ludwig; dont even beGIN to do justice though... )

I also love:
*Mahler (Ken Russell) turn of the century meets 1974. Yum!
*Pretty Baby (Louis Malle) ---inspired me to go around wearing white dresses with black or stripey tights for a while! also from Louis Malle, *Zazie dans le Metro (photos from both)
*La Reine Margot (Patrice Chereau) ---sumptuous. Adjani=my favorite actress in the world.
*La Belle et la Bete (Jean Cocteau)--photo. All sorts of avant-garde romanticism going on, still looks new today.

And of course:
Cabaret and The Great Gatsby and Frida and Sleepy Hollow, as have been mentioned, and My Fair Lady!!!. Adjani's dresses in Adolphe were gorgeous and Cameron's wardrobe in The Invisible Circus was charmingly hippy (and specially me). And there's a special place in my heart for Desperately Seeking Susan in the 80's category...

Great call on La Belle et La Bete (one of my favorite films)- they style does look great today still. In the Phantom of the Opera(the 2004 film) I actually notaced a lot of visual references to that film.

IMO, The Royal Tenenbaums since the style is retro and wearable. I loooove the track suits and Gwyneth's outfits!

René Russo in The Thomas Crown Affair has amazing outfits!!!! (so does Pierce Brosnan... yum... Esther Cañadas' outfits are also gorgeous!) I didn't like Russo's dominatrix boots though... but the rest is very luxurious.

How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days... I LOVE all of the outfits!!! Of course, if you are Kate Hudson you can pull them off... That yellow dress is perfect on her! Her day outfits are all so cute... she is very feminine in that movie, and I love that!

MOULIN ROUGE!!!! Of course, the amazing costumes! Nicole Kidman's head piece is to die for! The finale outfit... oh wow...

Helen Hunt in What Women Want...

I would have to say that Romy and Michelle had some fabulous outfits - mainly the colours I loved so much!

The Thomas Crown affair has allready been mentioned..

Don't know if its "great" fashion but The Piano Teacher with icy Isabelle Huppert showed what I consider a very french wardrobe.
And I liked Clair Danes wardrobe in It's all about Love.

Amelie and A Very Long Engagement

One that sticks out in my mind is the wardrobes in The Talented Mr. Ripley (when I discovered the beautiful Mr. Law) and I also loved Gwyneth's character in the Royal Tennenbaums.

I'm sure it's been mentioned, but the fashion in The Notebook makes me soooooooo happy. I adore the 40's style - dresses, shoes, swimsuits, everything was perfection, and Rachel McAdams wore it wonderfully.

and

*La Reine Margot (Patrice Chereau) ---sumptuous. Adjani=my favorite actress in the world

great pick! I watched it recently, and I must agree - the costumes were breathtaking (practically everything in the film was stunning) And I cannot believe Isabelle Adjani was 39 when it was filmed, I thought she was in her early twenties
